Additional Information for Humeral Head Implant
Humeral head implants are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to replace the damaged or diseased humeral head (the ball-shaped part of the upper arm bone) in the shoulder joint. These implants are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and belong to the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Humeral head implants are typically made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or cobalt-chromium alloys. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical requirements. The implants are surgically inserted into the humerus bone, providing a new articulating surface for the shoulder joint.
These implants are used in procedures such as total shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) or hemiarthroplasty (partial shoulder replacement). They help restore joint function, alleviate pain, and improve the patient's quality of life.
It's important to note that the use of humeral head implants requires specialized surgical training and should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals.
