Abstract
A prosthetic shoulder implant system includes a prosthetic humeral implant and a version device. The humeral implant includes a catch member aperture and a first locking pin aperture. The version device includes a rotatable member with a body and a flexure member, and a plate with a catch member and a projection contacting the flexure member. A first locking pin extends from the version device and is adapted to mate with the first locking pin aperture. In an unlocked condition of the system, the rotatable member has a first rotated position in which the flexure member is in an uncompressed state and the plate is in a first position, and in a locked condition of the system, the rotatable member has a second rotated position in which the flexure member is in a compressed state and the plate is in a second position proximal of the first position.
