ABSTRACT:
The invention is a modular composite shoulder prosthesis64, whose construct incorporates a solid autogenous bone graft50to be used to replace the upper humerus in certain fracture types. The prosthesis comprises a stem22to be inserted in the canal of the humerus, an intermediary part reduced to a medial pillar24and a head which is a generally spherical cap20that is hollow. The head of the prosthesis being hollow and coated with an osteoconductive material, the lateral aspect of the medial pillar as well as the upper part of the stem being also coated with the same material, an epiphyso-metaphyseal space is delineated in which a solid autogenous bone graft is fitted. Union can be achieved between the coated parts of the prosthesis, the bone graft50and the tuberosities reattached to the humerus shaft, secured to holes62of the medial pillar and between themselves.
