The choice between 10 right and left sizes helps chose the best implant for the size of the metaphysis. |
This is for removing cancellous bone from the resected humeral head to graft onto the metaphysis and thus encourage bone bonding. |
In the event of an abnormal morphotype, the ESOP HA prosthesis is modular: each shaft can be combined with each of the 10 metaphysis sizes. |
Appears as a cystic excrescence projecting away from the metaphysis that has its axis pointing away from the joint. |
Multiplication of cartilage cells within a germinal layer leads to thickening of the growth cartilage towards the metaphysis. |
Retaining the metaphysis and the bony bridges enables 3-point stabilisation which generally means bolting is unnecessary. |
