GN VALIDATION
The humeral stem has medial and lateral fins to prevent
intramedullary rotation. The anterior flange accepts bone graft
to help prevent posterior migration. The posterior aspect of
the flange has a textured surface to enhance bone ongrowth
(fig. 04). The spool is secured to the stem with a cannulated
screw that allows for the passage of sutures to attach soft
tissues for initial stabilization.
Humeral spools have been designed with a concave barrel
shaped trochlea to preserve linear contact throughout 7° of
valgus/varus movement with the ulnar component (fig. 05).
