| Sumario: | The history of humeral component design has evolved from prostheses with relatively long stems and limited anatomic head options to a contemporary platform with short stems and stemless implants with shared instrumentation and the ability to provide optimal shoulder reconstruction for both anatomic and reverse configurations. Contemporary humeral components aim to preserve the bone, but they are potentially subject to malalignment. Modern components are expected to favorably load the humerus and minimize adverse bone reactions. Although there will likely continue to be further refinements in humeral component design, the next frontiers in primary shoulder arthroplasty will revolve around designing an optimal plan, including adequate soft tissue tension and providing computer-assisted tools for the accurate execution of the preoperative plan in the operating room. |
