Abstract:
Systems, kits and methods for long bone arthroplasty that include arrays of humeral head prosthesis components, each having on a first side a bone articulation surface that has an overall generally hemielliptical convex shape defined by a major axis and a minor axis, the bone articulation surface having an apex and a base that each has an non-circular elliptical cross sectional shape, the prosthesis components having on an opposite side, adjacent the base, a bone contact surface. The humeral head prosthesis components in the arrays vary from having a base with a more circular cross sectional shape to a more elongated elliptical cross sectional shape with increasing size.

Claim (Index 13):
A kit for long bone arthroplasty according to  claim 10 , comprising:\n at least one anchor component; and a plurality of coupler components, each coupler component comprising a prosthesis component engagement side and an opposite anchor component engagement side, the sides bounded by a lateral edge that is one of cylindrical, frustoconical and frustohemispherical, wherein at least two of the plurality of coupler components comprises at least one anchor engagement feature that is off-center from a center point of the coupler component, and wherein the off-center engagement feature on each of the at least two coupler components is at a different distance in at least one dimension that is perpendicular to the center point, wherein a selected component of each of the arrays of prosthesis, anchor and coupler components are engageable to provide an arthroplasty assembly, and wherein the position of the anchor component relative to the coupler component can be varied in two dimensions on a plane that is perpendicular to the central engagement axis of the coupler and prosthesis components by selecting the coupler component from an array comprising a plurality of coupler components that include variably positioned anchor engagement features; and wherein the position of a selected convex prosthesis component can be varied rotationally around a shared central engagement axis with the coupler component for selection of the orientation of the convex articulation surface relative to a glenoid, and an offset position of the prosthesis component can be varied at the engagement of the coupler and anchor components.
