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 2):
The method for implanting a modular system for long bone arthroplasty according to  claim 1 , wherein the bone contact surface of each humeral head prosthesis component in the array includes on its bone contact surface an engagement surface for engagement with a coupler component, the method further comprising the steps of\n (a) (ii) providing at least one generally disc shaped coupler component having a central axis, a prosthesis component side comprising a recess configured to interchangeably engage both a humeral head prosthesis component and a concave prosthesis component, an opposing side, and a lateral edge that bounds the prosthesis component and opposing sides; and (b) selecting one coupler component and one humeral head prosthesis component; and (c) at least provisionally establishing the position of the selected coupler component relative to a metaphysis of a long bone.
