TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of joint prosthesis, in particular to a time period limiting reverse shoulder joint prosthesis. BACKGROUND
[0002] Artificial joint replacement is widely used in the surgical treatment of various orthopedic diseases, including hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow and other joints. Artificial joints can be divided into restrictive and non-restrictive. Restrictive artificial joints refer to artificial joint prosthesis structures with a stabilizing mechanism to prevent joint dislocation, such as artificial joints with hinge devices. Non-restrictive artificial joints refer to prostheses without a stabilizing mechanism, and their joint stability relies on the surrounding soft tissues to maintain. Generally speaking, restrictive artificial joints are not prone to dislocation, but can cause decreased joint mobility and increased prosthesis-bone interface stress. Non-restrictive artificial joints are prone to dislocation, especially in the early postoperative period, but have better postoperative function. Reverse shoulder joint is a special shoulder joint that changes the mechanical structure of the human shoulder joint and is more conducive to improving shoulder joint mobility. It requires a certain stability after surgery and high flexibility after rehabilitation. However, the existing joint prosthesis cannot simultaneously achieve the advantages of both restrictive and non-restrictive artificial joints, resulting in dislocation complications in reverse shoulder joints after surgery, difficulty in improving joint mobility, and the need for secondary surgery, which causes distress to patients. In order to avoid the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a time period limiting reverse shoulder joint prosthesis to overcome the defects in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0015] The working principle and use process of the application are as follows: first, the medical staff connects the glenosphere 205 to the human body through the glenosphere base 206, and at the same time, the humeral base 1 is connected to the appropriate humerus of the human body through the intramedullary fixation needle 204 at the bottom, at this time, since the humeral base 1, the spacer 201, the connecting piece 203 and the intramedullary fixation needle 204 are an integral whole, the orientation of the spacer 201 can be adjusted by rotating the intramedullary fixation needle 204 when the intramedullary fixation needle 204 is connected to the appropriate humerus of the human body, and the installation of the glenosphere 205 and the humeral base 1 is completed when the glenosphere 205 is attached to the spacer 201 to the appropriate position.
