MODULAR HUMER PROSTHESIS.
Abstract
Abstract The modular humeral prosthesis comprises three elements, one of which is a humeral anchoring stem (1') whose metaphyseal part forms an oblique bearing face (14'). The second element is a wedge-shaped spacer (2'), one of whose end faces (21') fits onto the bearing face (14') of the stem (1'). The third element of the prosthesis is made in the form of a spherical humeral cap (3') whose base is fixed with respect to the second end face of the spacer (2'). This fixing, which is off-centre with respect to the geometrical axis of the cap (3'), allows angular adjustment of the cap with respect to the spacer. The cap (2') and the stem (1') are locked to the spacer (2') in the desired position.
