Additional Information for Humeral Glenoid Implant
Humeral Glenoid Implants are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to replace the glenoid (socket) portion of the shoulder joint. The glenoid implant is designed to provide stability and support to the shoulder joint, allowing for improved range of motion and reduced pain.
These implants are typically made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or cobalt-chromium alloy. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical techniques.
The humeral glenoid implant is surgically implanted into the scapula (shoulder blade) and serves as a new articulating surface for the humeral head (upper arm bone). It is often used in conjunction with a humeral stem implant, which replaces the humeral head.
These implants are part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies. They are commonly used by orthopedic surgeons and are essential in shoulder joint replacement surgeries.
