Device shoulder joint humeral (hemi-shoulder) ceramic head/metallic stem cemented or uncemented prosthesis
Definition A shoulder joint humeral (hemi-shoulder) ceramic head / metallic stem cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device using a replacement humeral head made of ceramic materials, such as pyrolytic carbon,and a stem made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. It is intended to be implanted to replace the articular surface of the proximal end of the humerus and to be fixed with or without bone cement (§ 888.3027). This device is not intended for use in total shoulder arthroplasty.
Physical State Device made of more than one sub-component, that is, a modular ceramic humeral head which replaces the humeral articular surface, and an intramedullary stem made of metallic alloys, such as titanium or cobalt-chromium-molybdenum to be fixed without bone cement (888.3027).
