A modular humeral prosthesis for replacement of the humeral head of a
humerus. The prosthesis generally comprises a stem to be fitted to a
resected humerus; a head sized and configured to approximate the humeral
head; and an intermediate connecting member for connecting the stem to
the head. The intermediate connecting member provides a desired angle of
inclination or offset between stem and head. The head may be a
traditional humeral head, or it may be an eccentric humeral head, with
its mating portion being offset. The head may also comprise a groove or
milled trench at least partially surrounding or otherwise defining mating
portion. Also disclosed is a modular humeral prosthesis kit comprising a
variety of different intermediate connecting members that may be selected
to tit the prosthesis to the patient, and a method of replacing a humeral
head in a patient.
