A resurfacing humeral head prosthesis is a surgical implant used to restore function in a severely damaged shoulder joint, typically caused by arthritis or trauma. It replaces the worn or diseased humeral head surface while keeping the natural bone intact, using a metallic cap secured over the prepared humeral head—often paired with a stem for stability.
These devices are typically regulated as implantable medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are designed for elective or trauma-driven orthopedic procedures and are supplied sterile, requiring surgical implantation by trained professionals.
