The Modular Humeral Heads product family includes multiple configurations designed for use within compatible Shoulder Replacement / Shoulder Arthroplasty systems. The modular head is assembled onto the compatible Humeral Component to form the articulating portion of the Humeral Prosthetic Construct.
The range provides three primary designs: 10° Modular Heads, 15° Modular Heads, and High Modular Heads. These options provide different Head Geometries that may be selected according to the system design, Preoperative Planning, and findings obtained during Intraoperative Trialing.
Each geometry is available in two material categories according to the supplied catalogue: [St. St.], indicating Stainless Steel, and [TIT], indicating a Titanium Category according to the product nomenclature. Each material/design combination is available in four sizes: 40, 42, 44, and 47 mm.
The product family therefore consists of six primary groups:
- Modular Heads 10° [St. St.]
- Modular Heads 10° [TIT]
- Modular Heads 15° [St. St.]
- Modular Heads 15° [TIT]
- Modular Heads High [St. St.]
- Modular Heads High [TIT]
The complete range includes 24 Configurations, providing multiple combinations of Head Geometry, Material Category, and Size within the same product family.
Each configuration carries an individual AMS Product Code, supporting accurate Implant Identification, Surgical Set Preparation, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
A Modular Humeral Head is a prosthetic component that forms the artificial articulating surface of the humeral head within a Shoulder Replacement System.
It is assembled onto the Compatible Humeral Stem / Humeral Component through a modular connection designed as part of the system. The external surface of the head functions as one of the articulating surfaces of the Shoulder Articulation.
The product range provides several head geometries:
10° Modular Head
A configuration with a designated 10° geometry, according to the product nomenclature, providing one of the available geometry options within the system.
15° Modular Head
A configuration with a designated 15° geometry, providing an additional option during selection of the final humeral construct.
High Modular Head
A High version of the modular head, representing a different profile within the modular head family compared with the standard and angled configurations according to the system design.
The final configuration should be selected according to Component Compatibility and the approved Surgical Technique of the system.
Product Components and Design
- Humeral Head Body
The main body of the Modular Head, forming the articulating portion of the Humeral Prosthesis.
Available in:
40 / 42 / 44 / 47 mm
- Articulating Surface
The external polished surface of the head, designed to function as a Prosthetic Articular Surface within the compatible Shoulder Joint Construct.
- Internal Modular Interface
The internal recess or Connection Feature designed to connect with the compatible Humeral Component.
The specific Taper Type and its dimensions are not provided in the supplied product data.
- Angled Geometry
The range includes two specifically designated angled configurations:
10° and 15°
providing different Head Geometry options according to the design of each configuration.
- High Geometry
A High configuration is also available, providing a different profile within the Modular Heads product family.
Specific numerical values for Height or Offset are not provided in the supplied product table.
- Material Options
The range is available in two material categories:
St. St. – Stainless Steel
and
TIT – Titanium Category
according to the supplied catalogue nomenclature.
Product Application
The Modular Humeral Heads 10° / 15° / High are used within compatible Shoulder Arthroplasty / Shoulder Replacement Systems. The appropriate head is selected after selection of the Humeral Stem and associated system components.
Selection of the appropriate configuration may depend on factors including:
- Proximal Humeral Anatomy
- Humeral Component Compatibility
- Head Size
- Head Geometry
- Component Position
- Soft-Tissue Tension
- Joint Stability
- Range of Motion
- Intraoperative Trialing
- Overall Shoulder Reconstruction Plan
The Final Modular Head is assembled onto the compatible Humeral Component in accordance with the approved IFU and Surgical Technique.
Key Benefits
