| 20080287992 | Surgical method for suturing soft tissue to a bone, in particular the rotator cuff to the humerus - The aim of this method is to improve the efficiency and ease of implanting a means for suturing a soft tissue to a bone, while allowing it to be carried out by arthroscopy in particular. In accordance with the method according to the invention:

| 20090287309 | INTRA-ARTICULAR JOINT REPLACEMENT - A method for implanting an intra-articular shoulder prosthesis is provided. The method includes removing a proximal portion of a humerus. The proximal portion of the humerus preferably forms a resected portion. The resected portion has a convex outer surface and an inner surface. The method further includes engaging the convex outer surface of the resected portion with a cut surface of the proximal portion of the humerus. The cut surface of the proximal portion of the humerus and/or the inner surface of the resected portion are optionally processed to form a generally concave surface, such as by impacting. In one embodiment, the inner surface of the resected portion is impacted into engagement with the cut surface of the proximal portion of the humerus. The generally concave inner surface of the resected portion forms a concave articular surface to receive an interpositional implant. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110098822 | INTRA-ARTICULAR JOINT REPLACEMENT - A method of forming a shoulder prosthesis includes forming a concave articular surface into an end portion of a humerus, including compacting bone of the end portion to define the concave articular surface. An implant having a convex articular surface is secured to a glenoid. The concave articular surface of the humerus is articulated with the convex articular surface of the implant. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110166661 | APPARATUS FOR FITTING A SHOULDER PROSTHESIS - Method and set of surgical instruments for fitting a shoulder prosthesis, and the shoulder prosthesis. The proposed method seeks to interpose a bone graft between the previously prepared glenoid surface of a scapula of a patient's shoulder and the face of a glenoid prosthetic component opposite the articular surface. The set of instruments permit the bone graft to be taken from the upper epiphysis of the humerus, either in situ or ex vivo. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110264153 | INTRA-ARTICULAR JOINT REPLACEMENT AND METHOD - Methods of implanting a prosthesis to repair a joint include displacing a first bone from the joint formed by an intersection between the first bone and a second bone. An end portion of the first bone is resected to define a resected end. A concavity is formed into the resected end using a shaping tool. The bone is compacted to form a support layer lining the concavity. The prosthesis is implanted in the concavity against the support layer without attaching the prosthesis to the support layer. The joint is reformed with the prosthesis such that the prosthesis remains unattached to the support layer and the first and second bones articulate about the prosthesis. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20120109320 | SET OF GLENOID COMPONENTS FOR A SHOULDER PROSTHESIS - This set (J) comprises glenoid components (S | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120221111 | GLENOID IMPLANT FOR A SHOULDER PROSTHESIS, AND SURGICAL KIT - A glenoid implant for a shoulder prosthesis for implantation in the glenoid of a scapula according to embodiments of the present invention includes a central fixation element; an articular body configured for articulation with a humerus, the articular body comprising a plate, the plate comprising a side configured to be oriented toward the glenoid, the side comprising a central protrusion, wherein the central fixation element comprises a means for mechanically engaging with the central protrusion; a first means for locking rotation of the central fixation element with respect to the glenoid; and a second means for locking rotation of the articular body with respect to the glenoid. | 08-30-2012 |
| 20130060341 | GLENOIDAL COMPONENT, SET OF SUCH COMPONENTS AND SHOULDER PROSTHESIS INCORPORATING SUCH A GLENOIDAL COMPONENT - This glenoidal component for a shoulder prosthesis comprises a base which may be immobilized on the glenoid cavity of a shoulder, and an element provided to be mounted on this base and forming a convex surface of articulation centred on an axis of symmetry. This axis of symmetry is non perpendicular to a rear face of the base intended to abut against the glenoid cavity, this making it possible to compensate a defect in parallelism between the resectioned surface of the glenoid cavity and the axis of the patient's spinal column. | 03-07-2013 |
| 20140058523 | INTRA-ARTICULAR JOINT REPLACEMENT - A method of forming a shoulder prosthesis includes resecting an end portion of a humerus to form a resected end of the humerus and a resected portion separated from the humerus, the resected portion having an outer convex surface and an inner surface. The inner surface of the resected portion is processed to include a concave articular surface. The outer convex surface of the resected portion is implanted in the resected end of the humerus. An implant having a convex articular surface is secured to a glenoid. The concave articular surface of the resected portion is articulated with the convex articular surface of the implant. | 02-27-2014 |
| 20150018959 | GLENOIDAL COMPONENT, SET OF SUCH COMPONENTS AND SHOULDER PROSTHESIS INCORPORATING SUCH A GLENOIDAL COMPONENT - This glenoidal component for a shoulder prosthesis comprises a base which may be immobilized on the glenoid cavity of a shoulder, and an element provided to be mounted on this base and forming a convex surface of articulation centred on an axis of symmetry. This axis of symmetry is non perpendicular to a rear face of the base intended to abut against the glenoid cavity, this making it possible to compensate a defect in parallelism between the resectioned surface of the glenoid cavity and the axis of the patient's spinal column. | 01-15-2015 |
