Abstract

In some embodiments, the present invention provides a reverse shoulder glenoid prosthesis which supports the attachment of multiple different types of modular attachments that can: 1) provide additional scapular fixation (ie external to the glenoid) in order to improve glenoid implant fixation in cases of severe bone loss / fracture, 2) provide joint line lateralization to improve tissue stability in cases of severe glenoid / scapula bone loss, 3) facilitate use and containment of glenoid bone graft in cases of severe glenoid / scapula bone loss - particularly in those cases in which the glenoid defect is uncontained / peripheral 4) achieve glenoid fixation while at the same time reconstructing the scapular bone in cases of scapula fractures, glenoid fractures, and / or acromial fractures, and 5) provide improved rTSA joint biomechanics, particularly posterior rotator cuff efficiency by changing the line of action of the infraspinatus and teres minor muscles to improve their muscle tension, andalso increase each muscle's external rotation and abduction moment arm lengths.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This is an International (PCT) application relating to and claiming the jointly owned, co-pending title "Platform with Modular Accessories Capable of Improved Initial Fixation, Fracture Reconstruction, and Joint Biomechanics" filed on August 1, 2016 RTSA Glenoid Prosthesis," U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 369,519, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). In particular, various embodiments of the present invention relate to devices and methods for achieving fixation, stability, and function in the setting of severe glenoid wear and glenoid / scapular fractures. Background technique [0004] Short- and medium-term clinical outcome studies have reported aseptic glenoid loosening rates between 0 and 12% with modern reverse shoulder...
