Abstract: A kit for use in shoulder arthroplasty includes a tamp configured to form a generally oval cavity in grafting material in a glenoid vault, the tamp including a body and a forming portion shaped complementary to the oval cavity, and a glenoid component including a body having a stem portion with an oval cross section for inserting at least partially into the generally oval cavity, the stem portion configured to substantially fill the glenoid vault.

Abstract: A glenoid component for use with a prosthetic humeral component for use in performing shoulder arthroplasty is provided. The glenoid component may be fitted at least partially into a cavity formed in the glenoid vault. The glenoid component includes a body having a stem portion for inserting at least partially into the cavity formed in the glenoid vault. The stem portion cooperates with the interior wall of the cavity formed in the glenoid vault. The body has a bearing portion for articulating cooperation with the prosthetic humeral component.

Abstract: A glenoid component (100) for use with a prosthetic humeral component (102) for use in performing shoulder arthroplasty is provided. The glenoid component (100) may be fitted at least partially into a cavity (104) formed in the glenoid vault (106). The glenoid component (112) includes a body (112) having a stem portion (114) for inserting at least partially into the cavity (104) formed in the glenoid vault (106). The stem portion (114) cooperates with the interior wall (116) of the cavity (104) formed in the glenoid vault (106). The body (112) has a bearing portion (120) for articulating cooperation with the prosthetic humeral component (102).

Abstract: A kit (10) for resection of bone (12) for use in implantation of a joint prosthesis (14) is provided. The kit (10) includes a guide (16), a tool (26) and a stop (32). The guide (16) defines an opening (20) through the guide (16). The guide (16) is in cooperation with the bone (12). The tool (26) may be constrained within the opening (20) of the guide (16). The tool (26) includes a cutting edge (30) for resection of bone (12). The stop (32) cooperates with the guide (16) and the tool (26) to limit the movement of the tool (26) within the guide (16) so that the position of the cutting edge (30) with respect to the bone (12)m may be controlled. The stop (32) includes a plurality of positions (34) with respect to the tool (26) and the guide (16).
