US 20050278033 A1Abstract
This total shoulder prosthesis comprises a glenoidal component, defining a substantially hemispherical convex articular surface and of which the centre of curvature is located in the glenoid cavity or in the immediate vicinity thereof, and a humeral component defining a concave articular surface adapted to cooperate with the convex articular surface of the glenoidal component. The concave humeral articular surface is defined by a metallic part of the humeral component, this avoiding having to resort to a part made of plastics material which would increase the space requirement of the prosthesis.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a shoulder prosthesis and, more specifically, to a shoulder prosthesis whose compactness can be improved with respect to those of the state of the art. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In the domain of shoulder prostheses, it is known, for example from EP-A-0 299 889, to constitute a so-called “inverted” prosthesis in which a convex articular surface fast with the glenoid cavity and a concave articular surface fast with the humerus, cooperate in order to recreate a joint at the level of the shoulder, with a centre of rotation located in the glenoid cavity. In this type of prosthesis, the convex articular surface is often made of metal, while a cup made of synthetic material, for example polyethylene, is shaped so as to create the concave humeral surface of articulation. In order to withstand the efforts to which it is subjected, such a cup must present a relatively great thickness, this inducing a lateral space requirement of the prosthesis which may sometimes inhibit the patient, particularly during the movements of abduction. [0003] It is a more particular object of the present invention to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a novel total shoulder prosthesis of inverted type in which there is less risk of the lateral space requirement inhibiting the patient than the prostheses of the state of the art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] In that spirit, the invention relates to a total shoulder prosthesis comprising a glenoidal component, defining a substantially hemispherical convex articular surface of which the centre of curvature is located in the glenoid cavity or in the immediate vicinity of the glenoid cavity, and a humeral component defining a concave articular surface adapted to cooperate with the convex articular surface of the glenoidal component, characterized in that the concave articular surface is defined by a metallic part of the humeral component. [0005] Thanks to the invention, the lateral space requirement of the prosthesis can be optimized, while conserving the functional character of the humeral articular surface. [0006] According to advantageous but non-obligatory aspects, a total shoulder prosthesis of inverted type may incorporate one or more of the following characteristics, taken in any technically admissible combination: [0007] The convex articular surface is defined in a metallic part of the glenoidal component. Surprizingly, a prosthesis of inverted type in which the two articular surfaces are made of metal has proved to allow the patient to move easily, while the fact of dispensing with polyethylene allows a better compactness of the prosthesis, particularly a reduction in its lateral space requirement. [0008] The metallic parts in which the articular surfaces are formed are made of titanium or a chromium-cobalt alloy. [0009] According to a first form of embodiment that can be envisaged, the humeral component comprises a one-piece metaphyseal part which defines the concave articular surface. [0010] According to another form of embodiment, the humeral component comprises a two-piece metaphyseal part formed by a body on which is mounted a metallic insert defining the concave articular surface. In that case, the insert is advantageously immobilized on the body by cooperation of shapes. In addition, this body may be provided to be adapted to receive different implants which define articular surfaces which are different and/or positioned differently with respect to this body, this making it possible to adapt, to a certain extent, the prosthesis to its site of implantation. [0011] Whatever the form of embodiment considered, the metaphyseal part of the humeral component may be in one piece with or added on a stem for anchorage of this component in the humerus. [0012] The humeral component is entirely metallic.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0013] The invention will be more readily understood and other advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the light of the following description of two forms of embodiment of a prosthesis in accordance with its principle, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: [0014] FIG. 1 schematically shows a prosthesis according to the invention implanted at the level of a patient's shoulder. [0015] FIG. 2 is a view in perspective of the humeral component of the prosthesis of FIG. 1. [0016] FIG. 3 is a side view of a part of the humeral component and of the glenoidal component of the prosthesis of FIG. 1, in configuration separated from each other. [0017] FIG. 4 is a view in perspective of the humeral component of a prosthesis according to a second form of embodiment of the invention, and [0018] FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 for the prosthesis of which the humeral element is shown in FIG. 4.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0019] Referring now to the drawings, the prosthesis P shown in FIG. 1 comprises a glenoidal component 1 which defines a convex articular surface S1 of globally hemispherical shape and of which the centre of curvature C1 is located at the level of the rear face of the component 1, i.e. at the level of the milled surface SG of the glenoid cavity. As is more particularly visible in Figure 3, the component 1 comprises a base 11 provided with an anchoring stem 12 and intended to be fixed on the glenoid cavity G by means of a plurality of screws (not shown). A metallic head 13 is provided to be mounted on the base 11 and shaped to define the surface S1. This glenoidal component may for example be in accordance with the technical teaching of French Patent 2 835 425. [0020] The prosthesis P also comprises a humeral component 2 which is also metallic. The component 2 comprises a metaphyseal part 21 in one piece with a stem 22 for anchoring in the medullary canal M of the humerus H. The part 21 is hollowed out by machining and defines a concave surface S2 in the form of a portion of sphere of radius substantially equal to that of the surface S1. [0021] The surface S2 is bordered by an annular and circular edge 23. [0022] When the prosthesis is implanted, as shown in FIG. 1, where the component 2 is shown in section while the component 1 is shown in outside view in order to render the drawing clearer, the surfaces S1 and S2 are in surface abutment against each other, this allowing the different shoulder movements which are sought after. [0023] Taking into account the fact that the surface S2 is formed by the part 21 itself, the distance d between the resectioned surface SG of the glenoid cavity and the cut edge B of the resectioned humerus H is relatively small compared to the same distance for a known prosthesis. [0024] The part 13 and the component 2 are advantageously made of a bio-compatible metal, for example titanium or an alloy based on chromium-cobalt. [0025] According to an advantageous variant of the invention, the surface S2 is not necessarily centred in the metaphyseal part 21. For example, the component 2 may be selected from a set of components of which the surfaces S2 are more or less eccentric with respect to their respective metaphyseal parts. [0026] In the second form of embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, elements similar to those of the first embodiment bear identical references increased by 100. The glenoidal component 101 of this embodiment also comprises a base 111 of which the stem 112 allows anchoring in the glenoid cavity as well as a metallic head 113 defining a hemispherical, convex articular surface S1. [0027] The humeral component 102 comprises a metaphyseal part 121 constituted by a body 124 and an insert 125, both metallic. The insert and the body are advantageously made of the same metal or metallic alloy, for example titanium or an alloy based on chromium-cobalt. [0028] The insert 125 is intended to be immobilized on the body 124 by cooperation of shapes, being partially engaged in the inner volume 126 of the body 124, a peripheral edge 123 of the insert 125 coming into abutment on a peripheral edge 127 of the body 124. [0029] The insert 125 defines a concave hemispherical surface S2 with the same geometry as that of the prosthesis of the first form of embodiment. [0030] The insert 125 is provided with a notch 128 at the level of its edge 123, while the body 124 bears a lug 129 on its edge 127. The cooperation of elements 128 and 129 makes it possible to immobilize the insert 125 in rotation about an axis X2-X′2 of the surface S2. [0031] Furthermore, the part 121 is added on an anchoring stem 122 intended to be immobilized in the humeral medullary canal. To that end, the body 124 is provided with an extension 124 a intended to be introduced and wedged inside a housing 122 a of corresponding shape provided in the stem 122. [0032] As previously, the fact of making the surfaces S1 and S2 in parts 113 and 125 which are metallic makes it possible to improve the compactness of the prosthesis, while allowing easy, high-amplitude movements of the patient's arm with respect to the glenoid cavity. [0033] According to an aspect of the invention (not shown), inserts 125 of different shapes may be provided to be mounted on the body 124, this making it possible to adapt the prosthesis to its site of implantation. For example, inserts 125 whose surfaces S2 have different radii of curvature may be used, one of them being selected and mounted on the body 124 as a function of the geometry of the surface S1 used for the glenoidal component. Similarly, inserts in which the surfaces S2 are positioned differently with respect to the edge 123 may be used, one of them being selected, when installing the prosthesis, as a function of the patient's morphology. [0034] The characteristics of the forms of embodiment described may be combined together within the scope of the present invention. In particular, a one-piece metaphyseal part, such as that of the first embodiment, may be added on an anchoring stem such as that of the second embodiment. Similarly, the body of the second embodiment may be in one piece with an anchoring stem, as in the first embodiment.
