A coated shoulder humeral stem prosthesis is an implant used in shoulder arthroplasty to replace damaged or diseased humeral bone. It provides structural support and attachment for the humeral head or body, with coatings like porous materials or hydroxyapatite to enhance bone integration and stability during healing.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring pre-market approval or conformity assessment depending on the jurisdiction. They may be supplied sterile and packaged for single-use, though some include optional fixation hardware like screws, and may be used with or without bone cement during surgery.
