Humeral prosthesis shoulder surgery, illustration. This operation is replacing the shoulder socket and head of the humerus, the two key components of the shoulder joint. The joint is exposed (top left) and then the head of the humerus is removed. A base plate is screwed to the socket in the scapula (shoulder blade), and a shaft implant is placed in the humerus. The rounded hemisphere (blue) is attached to the scapula, and rotates against the implant in the humerus (bottom right). | |
