Bipolar partial shoulder prosthesis

A bipolar partial shoulder prosthesis is a sterile implant designed to replace the humeral component of the shoulder joint. These devices are primarily used to restore joint function following severe injuries, such as fractures, by providing a prosthetic humeral head and stem.

These systems feature a bipolar component that articulates with both the prosthetic head and the patient's natural glenoid fossa. They are typically constructed from metal and polyethylene, and they may be secured using bone cement or specialized fixation hardware like screws.
