The
SBi rHead™ proximal radial head prosthesis is an anatomic
design. The prosthesis is available in multiple sizes that
accommodate the anthropomorphic variations in radial head size.
The concave articular surface of the radial head component is designed
to anatomically articulate with the convexity of the capitellum.
The radial stem is curved to match the intramedullary contour of
the proximal radius and can be used with or without bone cement.
The head and stem components are coupled together using a Morse
taper and are modular to accommodate patient anatomy. The rHead™ matches
the normal proximal radioulnar joint articulation, preserves the
annular ligament and minimizes release for exposure of the important
lateral ulnar collateral ligament.
