"Humeral Implant Anchor System" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240307187).

A patent application by Howmedica Osteonics Corp. has been made available online for a humeral implant anchor system. The system aims to address the disadvantages of traditional humeral components by minimizing bone loss and providing excellent initial pull-out resistance and long-term fixation. The implant includes a stemless base with a central portion, spaced apart arms, and a peripheral member, and it can be modular to provide more options for surgeons during revision surgeries. The patent application also includes methods for treating a shoulder joint using the implant. [Extracted from the article]
