Project description

There have been cases of the humerus decaying in older people, athletes, and people with mobility problems. Some causes may be severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, osteonecrosis.
In regards of these issues, we have developed a prosthetic that replaces part of the shoulder joint, which gets inserted via hemiarthroplasty with stem.
