Intended purpose

The glenoid component, coated, is a component of the METS Proximal Humeral Modular System which is designed as a modular system that can be used to replace diseased or deficient bone of the proximal humerus. The METS Proximal Humeral Modular System is indicated for: - Primary bone tumour - Secondary tumour arising in bone - Non-neoplastic conditions affecting the shafts of long bones - Failed joint replacements - Failed massive replacements.

Functional description

The glenoid component has a titanium alloy tapered screw for cementless fixation. The tapered screw of the glenoid component is hydroxyapatite coated and is the method of retention within the scapula/glenoid. A Ø22.2mm cobalt-chrome-molybdenum head that articulates within the captive humeral component provides a linked arrangement. The glenoid component is available in three sizes (extra small, small and standard) and can be used for left and right sides.
