Abstract

An intramedullary nail for use in a medullary canal of an epiphysis and a diaphysis of a long bone is provided. The nail includes a body having a length in a longitudinal direction and a width in the transverse direction normal to the longitudinal direction. The body has a diaphyseal portion and a first epiphyseal portion. The diaphyseal portion has an external periphery configured for placement in the medullary canal of the diaphysis of the long bone. The diaphyseal portion defines a longitudinally extending first surface of the diaphyseal portion. The first surface defines a longitudinally extending first void. The first epiphyseal portion extends from the diaphyseal portion. The first epiphyseal portion is configured for placement in the medullary canal of the first epiphysis of the long bone. The nail also includes a first insert positioned in the longitudinally extending first void of the diaphyseal portion. The first insert and the diaphyseal portion of the body are made from different materials.

Abstract

A shoulder prosthesis. The shoulder prosthesis includes a head having a cavity. The head further includes a first bearing surface configured to mate with a second bearing surface of a glenoid. The shoulder prosthesis also includes a stem having a recess defined therein, and the stem configured to be received by a humerus. The shoulder also includes a first connector having a proximal end and a distal end. The first connector also includes a threaded cavity and an outer wall. The outer wall engages the recess of the stem, and the threaded cavity opens at the proximal end of the first connector. A second connector having a threaded end sized and shaped to fit in the threaded cavity of the first connector is also included. The second connector also has a head connector end that is sized and shaped to fit within the cavity of the head. The outer wall of the first connector is sized and shaped to expand at the proximal end as the second connector is threaded into the threaded cavity.
