Abstract:
Universal joint implant includes an artificial glenohumeral component having articulating surfaces. The artificial glenohumeral component can include a first portion for articulation against an artificial glenoid surface or natural glenoid of the patient, and second portion(s) for articulation against an artificial humeral surface or resected, natural humerus; and a universal joint connection. The connection includes a yoke to provide for a center of movement generally within or adjacent a volume defined by an upper head of a normal humerus, which otherwise would be resected; and a substantially spheroidal body, at least in part, dissected, yet connected to provide the yoke; a body pivotable with respect to the yoke for providing motion in a first direction; a rotatable glenoid fixing member, rotatably fixable about the artificial glenoid surface or natural or resected glenoid; and a rotatable humeral fixing member, rotatably fixable about the artificial humeral surface or resected humerus.

Claim (Index 20):
The universal joint implant of  claim 19 , wherein at least one of the following features (A-F) is present:\n (A) the glenoid component includes a glenoid augment, which can function as a glenoid corticoid stabilization member, and include a main body and a slide-in closure for enclosing a glenoid receptacle to receive the rotatable glenoid fixing member rotatably; (B) the glenoid component includes staple(s), set screw(s) and/or pin(s) to hold the rotatable glenoid fixing member rotatably with respect to a groove in the glenoid fixing member; (C) the glenoid augment provides the artificial glenoid surface, which has an articulating surface in a form of a glenoid cup; (D) the humeral component includes a humeral augment, which provides the artificial humeral surface, and which has an articulating surface in a form of at least one of a cup or a flat surface; (E) the humeral component includes as the humeral augment a receptacle having a cylindrical or tapered surface to receive the rotatable humeral fixing member rotatably in the interior of intramedullary humeral stem; and (F) a rotatable humeral fixing member withholding system is present to assist in holding the artificial glenohumeral component to the humerus, which includes a circumferential groove in a depending shaft of the rotatable humeral fixing member into which set screw(s), pin(s) and/or staple(s), a locking ring spring, or a flaring head or flange is provided.
