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 1):
A method for implanting a modular system for long bone arthroplasty comprising:\n (a) providing arthroplasty components comprising:\n i. an array of prosthesis components, the array comprising a plurality of humeral head prosthesis components each comprising 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 and comprises an apex and a base that each has an non-circular elliptical cross sectional shape, and on an opposite side, adjacent the base, a bone contact surface \n wherein, when a selected humeral head prosthesis component is positioned for use in a humerus bone, the major axis is oriented along a frontal plane in the direction from inferior to superior and the minor axis is oriented along a sagittal plane from anterior to posterior.
