Abstract

A shoulder arthroplasty system in one embodiment includes a combination device including a base portion defining a distal plane, a cavity extending proximally from the base portion, the cavity configured to receive a mounting portion of a humeral base component, a convex outer surface, the convex outer surface sized to replicate at least in part an outer bearing surface of a humeral head component, and a bore extending between the cavity and the convex outer surface, and a guide pin sized to fit within the bore.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shoulder arthroplasty system comprising: a humeral base component,
a first combination sizer and guide device including
a first base portion defining a distal plane,
a first cavity extending proximally from the first base portion, the first cavity configured to receive a mounting portion of the humeral base component,
a first convex outer surface, the first convex outer surface sized to replicate at least in part an outer bearing surface of a first humeral head component, and a first bore extending between the first cavity and the first convex outer surface; and
a guide pin sized to fit within the first bore such that the guide pin is guided by the bore, wherein the humeral base component further comprises: a threaded portion extending distally from a anchoring portion; and a guide bore extending through the mounting portion, the anchoring portion, and the threaded portion.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second combination sizer and guide device including
a second base portion defining a distal plane,
a second cavity extending proximally from the second base portion, the second cavity configured to receive the mounting portion,
a second convex outer surface, the second convex outer surface sized and shaped to replicate at least in part an outer bearing surface of a second humeral head component, the second humeral head component having a size or shape different from a size and shape of the first humeral head component, and
a second bore extending between the second cavity and the second convex outer surface, the second bore configured to receive the guide pin.

3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:
the first humeral head component, the first humeral head component including a first mating portion sized and shaped to mate with the mounting portion.

4. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:
the second humeral head component, the second humeral head component including a second mating portion sized and shaped to mate with the mounting portion.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first bore defines a first bore axis which is perpendicular to the distal plane.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the first bore axis is aligned with a zenith of the first convex outer surface with respect to the distal plane.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first bore is configured such that the guide pin is forced to be perpendicular to the distal plane when the guide pin is at least partially positioned with the first bore.
