An uncoated shoulder humeral stem prosthesis is a metal implant used in shoulder arthroplasty to replace damaged humeral bone and provide stability for a shoulder joint replacement. It fits into the upper arm bone (humerus) and serves as an anchor for the humeral head or body component, restoring function and mobility after conditions like arthritis or trauma.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring sterile packaging and compliance with orthopedic implant standards. They may be supplied as part of a full shoulder system or as standalone stems, with fixation sometimes aided by bone cement during surgery.
