Is shoulder pain keeping you from your daily lifestyle?
The Tornier Pyrocarbon Humeral Head is a shoulder implant used in hemiarthroplasty (partial shoulder replacement). It replaces the damaged humeral head and leaves your own native glenoid intact. Pyrocarbon is an advanced bearing material that has surface properties more similar to bone than traditional orthopaedic metallic bearing surfaces.
Tornier Pyrocarbon Humeral Head may be an option for patients with:
Osteoarthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis (arthritis due to past injury)
Avascular necrosis (bone degeneration due to poor blood circulation)
