Definitions
- the invention relates to shoulder arthroplasty, and particularly to total shoulder arthroplasty using a anatomic humeral component that is load bearing on the cut humeral surface with a base extension to resist rotational forces.
- This humeral head prosthesis will recreate an anatomic proximal humeral configuration without the need to conform and fixate to an intramedullary stem.
- TSA total shoulder arthroplasty
- Orthopedic surgeons in general orthopedic practice are inexperienced in total shoulder arthroplasty, and often refer them to shoulder specialists when a shoulder arthroplasty is necessary.
- the total number of shoulder prosthetic replacements performed are constrained by the above factors. It is desired to improve the methods for performing TSA and improve the perceptions of the procedure in the orthopedic as well as the general medical community. Some improvements that can be made that may help to achieve this include:
- the rotator cuff can be seriously damaged if the proximal humeral cut extends into the greater tuberosity where the cuff attaches.
- a total shoulder arthroplasty with a deficient rotator cuff will produce poor results, complications, and simply fail.
- the glenoid preparation and component insertion is one of the most technically difficult aspects of total shoulder operations.
- Access to the glenoid involves extensive dissection that risks the axillary nerve as well as more major neurovascular structures. This extensive dissection is performed due to deficiencies in present glenoid component designs and the instrumentation necessary to prepare the glenoid. Even under the best conditions, glenoid loosening remains a concern and is estimated to occur at one per cent per year.
- TSA comp ⁇ fcents It is desired to reduce the risk of post-operative instability of TSA comp ⁇ fcents.
- the risk of occurrence of post-operative instabilities can be reduced if the extent of capsulo-ligamentous dissection and release can be kept to a minimum.
- the designers ⁇ f the Aequalis and other TSA systems recommend a complete anterior and posterior capsular release to be able to access the glenoid and use their glenoid preparation instrumentation. This can produce considerable posterior instability that requires multiple "suspension" or salvage sutures from the posterior capsule to anterior structures like the subscapularis and/or to the conjoined tendon.
- the difficult glenoid access produces the need for these extensive capsular releases. It is therefore desired to have reduce or avoid such complexities arising from the difficult glenoid access.
- a total shoulder arthroplasty apparatus includes a stemless humeral head for coupling with a previously cut humeral surface.
- the base of the humeral head has a stabilizing base extension that is impacted into a cancellous region of the cut humeral surface and/or may be coupled with a template already affixed to the humeral surface.
- the humeral head is configured such that the base extension protrudes only into a ball region of the humerus of the patient, and not into an elongate region of the humerus.
- the base extension be formed such that the humeral head is nonintrusive of the elongate region of the humerus when the humeral head is impacted to the cancellous interior of the cut humerus.
- the protruding base extension may include one or more piano-polygonal fins or extensions, or two or more linear extensions, or a combination of piano-polygonal and linear extensions, for efficient rotational stabilization.
- a preferred base extension has a tri-flange or cruciform shape wherein two or more piano-polygonal extensions preferably intersect at or near the center of the base, or are each coupled as radially outward-protruding fins to an axially- symmetric center extension.
- the periphery of the humeral head preferably matches the cortical margins of the cut humeral surface.
- the humeral head is preferably attached to the humeral surface using a methylmethacrylate cement.
- the humeral head's contact surface is porous and is press-fit to allow ingrowth from the humeral surface.
- the humeral head may have any of a range base diameters, preferably between 38 to 56 mm, and may be asymmetrically shaped although the base is preferably substantially circular, matching the anatomic neck of a humeral surface.
- the base extension is impacted into the cut humeral surface where a template punch has been previously inserted into the humeral surface, wherein the extension is of substantially the same size as and complements the template punch.
- the replacement humeral head is formed of at least two components, a base and a head component.
- a coapting plate may be used to couple the base with the head.
- the thickness or variation of the thickness across the coapting plate may be selected to position the height and/or angle of the head after the base is already inserted.
- the head may be positioned at a selected orientation among multiple orientations relative to the impacted base.
- a method for total shoulder arthroplasty includes preparing a humeral head having a stabilizing extension from the base for rotational stabilization of the humeral head on a cut humeral surface for coupling to the humeral surface.
- the method then includes preparing a humeral surface for fixation of the humeral head thereon, including cutting the humeral surface to reveal a cancellous interior, and coupling the humeral head to the humeral surface, preferably by impacting the inferior extension into the cancellous of the cut humeral surface, wherein the periphery of the humeral head rests on the cortical margins of the humeral surface following the attaching.
- the base is affixed to the humeral surface, and then the head is coupled with the base, and the coapting plate may be disposed between them.
- the coupling step includes cementing the humeral head to the humeral surface, and alternatively, the coupling step includes press-fitting the humeral head to the humeral surface.
- the humeral head forming step preferably also includes selecting a peripheral shape and size from a variety of shapes and sizes for fitting to the specific design of the anatomic neck of the humeral surface.
- a step of inserting a template punch into the cancellous of the cut humeral surface prior to performing the impacting step is preferred, wherein the inferior extension is a total or partial male complement to the female template punch.
- the surgical approach is a supero-lateral deltoid splitting approach as opposed to the delto-pectoral approach used in all other systems.
- This approach will allow much improved access to the glenoid.
- the skin incision is from the postero-lateral corner of the acromion to the axillary crease. After subcutaneous undermining the deep layer incision begins on the superior surface of the clavicle, continues over the acromioclavicular joint and anterior margin of the acromion.
- the deltoid is the split to the extent of the subacromial bursa.
- the axillary nerve is palpated and protected during the procedure.
- the acromio-clavicular capsule and coraco-acromial ligament is dissected from their bony attachments and tagged to insure their restoration on closing.
- Three centimeters of anterior deltoid medial to the acromio-clavicular joint is dissected subperiosteally from the clavicle. This will create a large anterolateral access to the glenohumeral joint.
- the glenohumeral joint is then opened in the usual fashion by cutting through the subscapularis and capsule. This approach avoids easier and direct glenoid access without posterior capsular releases and vigorous retraction.
- the method includes a cutting jig to guide an oscillating saw to cut at the anatomic neck of the humerus.
- the guide will be similar to a large tenaculum and will open and close onto the anatomic neck. It will have a variable axis as a typical pair of pliers. It will preferably encompass only 240 degrees of the circumference of the anatomical neck.
- the guide will protect the rotator cuff and make use of the bald non-articular area posteriorly using a preferred 8 mm thickness posteriorly to correctly cut on the anatomic neck.
- the glenoid version guide is another advantageous tool in cases of excessive posterior wear or any type of glenoid destruction that creates alignment (version) problems.

- the shape and size of the periphery 22 of the humeral head 2 matches the anatomic neck of the humerus 28 and rests on the cortical margins 32 of the humeral surface 26, in accord with the preferred embodiment.
- that periphery 22 may thus be formed to match whatever the polygonal shape of the cortical margins 32 may be for a particular humeral surface 26.
- the cortical margins 32 are shown at the outer most portion of the humerus 28, and particularly the cut humeral surface 26, whereas the inner portion of the humerus 28 includes the cancellous interior 34.

- the fins 10 of the humeral head 2 are shown impacted into the soft cancellous interior 34.
- the fins 10 may protrude somewhat deeper or less deep than is shown.
- the stemless design generally means that the base extension or extensions of the humeral head 2, shown as preferably the fins 10 in Fig. 8a, are not protruding down into the elongate region 29 of the humerus 2 and instead are confined within the ball region 31 of the humerus 2.
- the base extension or extensions shown as the preferred fins 10 in Fig. 8a may insubstantially protrude into the elongate region 29 of the humerus 2, but not in the sense that conventional humeral head replacement devices having stems will protrude substantially down into the elongate region 29 of the humerus 2.

- the fins 10 are adhesively coupled to the cancellous interior 34 using, e.g., surgical cement such as methylmethacrylate.
- the fins 10 are press-fit to the cancellous tissue 34 of the humeral surface 26.
- Fig. 8b schematically shows a rotated view of the humeral component of the shoulder arthroplasty of Fig. 8a.

- the normal 35 to the humeral surface 26 is shown rotated from the elongated axis 36 of the humerus 28 by about 45°, and may be rotated by different angles typically significantly deviated from colinear. This makes it difficult to insert or remove a conventional humeral head having a long stem (e.g., six inches or so in length).
- the humeral head 2 of the preferred embodiment may be inserted without complications caused by the non-colinearity of the humeral surface normal 35 and the elongate humeral axis 36 (the fins 10 having, e.g., 3/4 inch altitudes or lengths, and being, e.g., less than two inches wide at their bases).
- each conventional humeral head has a stem that is uniquely and precisely formed for each patient. This greatly increases the complexity and expense of the arthroplasty, as well as any revision of the arthroplasty that may later be performed.
- the fins 10 of the humeral head 2 of the preferred embodiment may be similarly or identically shaped for most if not all configurations of the humerus 28. Only the periphery 22 of the humeral head 2 is preferably differently formed (e.g., varied between 25 mm and 60 mm in diameter) depending on the size and shape of the humeral surface 26 of the humerus 28 of the particular patient.
- Fig. 8c schematically shows a perspective view of the total shoulder arthroplasty of Figs. 8a and 8b.
- Fig. 8d schematically shows a humeral head 60 including a base component 62 for affixing to a cut humerus and a head component 64 permitting height and angle adjustment.
- the base component 62 includes one or more fins 65 (and/or pins as described above) for rotationally stabilizing the humeral head 60 at a humerus of a patient.
- the fins 65 may take on any of the forms described herein, e.g., at Figs. 2A-5F.
- Fig. 8e schematically shows an alternative embodiment that further includes a coapting ring 66 for coupling a base component 68 with the head component 64 of the humeral head, permitting further flexibility with respect to making adjustments to height and angle of the humeral head with respect to the humerus 70.
- a base connecting portion 72 of the coapting ring 66 inserts into the base 68.
- a head connecting portion 74 inserts into the head 64.
- the base 68 may be a base portion of the humeral head 60.
- the base 68 may also be a template punch previously inserted at a cut humerus of a patient such that the ring 66 includes the advantageous fins 65 or pins, or the base 68 may be the cut humerus itself, in alternative embodiments.
- the base connecting portion 72 and head connecting portion 74 may be offset from one another and/or adjustable in that regard.
- the base and head connecting portions 72 and 74, respectively, are shown offset in Fig. 8e with respect to each other and may be aligned or offset depending on where the head 64 is selected to be positioned with respect to the humerus 70.
- the base 68 may be set into the cut humerus 70 and the position of the head 64 can be adjustably set by selection of a particular coapting ring 66.
- the coapting ring 66 can have any of a number of thicknesses and can also have a variable thickness to adjust the height and angle, respectively, of the head 64 after insertion of the base 68.
- the surgical approach is a supero-lateral deltoid splitting approach (see Fig. 9), as opposed to the delto-pectoral approach used in all or most other systems.
- This approach will allow much improved access to the glenoid.
- the skin incision is from the postero-lateral corner of the acromion to the axillary crease. After subcutaneous undermining the deep layer incision begins on the superior surface of the clavicle, continues over the acromioclavicular joint and anterior margin of the acromion.
- the deltoid is split to the extent of the subacromial bursa.
- the axillary nerve is palpated and protected during the procedure.
- the acromio-clavicular capsule and coraco-acromial ligament is dissected from their bony attachments and tagged to insure their restoration on closing.
- Three centimeters of anterior deltoid medial to the acromio- clavicular joint is dissected subperiosteally from the clavicle. This will create a large anterolateral access to the glenohumeral joint.
- the glenohumeral joint is then opened in the usual fashion by cutting through the subscapularis and capsule. This approach avoids easier and direct glenoid access without posterior capsular releases and vigorous retraction.
- the method includes a cutting jig to guide an oscillating saw to cut at the anatomic neck of the humerus.
- the guide will be similar to a large tenaculum and will open and close onto the anatomic neck. It will have a variable axis as a typical pair of pliers. It will encompass preferably less than a full 360 degrees, and particularly preferably only 240 degrees, of the circumference of the anatomical neck.
- the guide will protect the rotator cuff and make use of the bald non-articular area posteriorly using an 8 mm thickness posteriorly to correctly cut on the anatomic neck, (see Figs. lOa-lOc).
- Fig. 10a shows a schematic of the guide 38 to be used for guiding the saw to cut the humerus to reveal the humeral surface 26.
- Fig. 10b shows the guide 38 as it is clamped to the humerus 28, wherein the original anatomical humeral head 40 is held above the surface 42 of the guide 38.
- a saw is then used to cut along the surface 42 and remove the original head 40 from the humerus 28, as illustrated at Fig. 10c.
- the cut humeral surface 26 mentioned above is thus revealed with precision using the guide 38 of the preferred embodiment.
- the glenoid version guide 44 is another advantageous tool in cases of excessive posterior wear or any type of glenoid destruction that creates alignment (version) problems. (See Figs, lla-llb). OBJECT OF THE INVENTION MET
- the Facile Shoulder meets the above object of the invention, and solves several problems associated with conventional total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), some of which have been referred to above.
- TSA total hip arthroplasty
- the shoulder is not a constrained ball and socket joint, nor is it a weight bearing joint in the true sense of the term.
- the shoulder is more akin to the knee joint than it is to the hip joint.
- the stability of both TSA and TKA is based on the integrity of the soft tissues (ligamentous and muscular) supporting these joints.
- the tibial components of primary total knee arthroplasty utilize components that are cemented onto contoured surfaces of the femur and tibia.
- TKA components that are cemented onto contoured surfaces of the femur and tibia.
- the fixation of the components in TKA is based on the proper fit on contoured cancellous and peripheral cortical surfaces.
- the Facile Humeral head is stemless
- the anatomic heads (1/3 spheres from 36 to 52 mm in diameter) has triflanged extension that provides stability and fixation into the cut cancellous surface, while the periphery of the head rests on the cortical margins and calcar of the anatomic neck.
- the components could be designed to be cemented or press-fit, but the initial series are preferably of the cemented design.
- the Facile shoulder is an extremely cost effective TSA.
- the cemented design with an all polyethylene glenoid will be most cost effective TSA in the marketplace.
- the proper size template is chosen to accurately cover the cut cortical/cancellous surface. It is easily positioned and a triflanged cut is made through the slots in the template into the cancellous surface.
- Third generation cementing techniques are used to fixate the component on the humerus.
- the prosthesis is a simple one- piece component that should be extremely price competitive.
- the anatomic neck cutting guide is an advantageous instrument in this technique. There are believed to be no similar existing guides for any TSA system. It will produce an accurate and consistent cut while protecting the rotator cuff.
- the glenoid version guide is unique and is based on solid anatomic and scapular image analysis.
- the Facile Shoulder is designed for easy revision.
- the amount of bone affected by revision would be minimal due to its stemless design. It would be easy to revise it to a stemmed design at a later date.
- the prosthesis is designed for easy removal with a groove just under the peripheral edge.
