Patent number: 9713533Abstract: A glenoid implant can include a body, a first fixation member, a second fixation member, and a third fixation member. The body can include an articular surface and a scapula-engaging surface opposite from the articular surface. The first, second and third fixation members can extend from the scapula-engaging surface. The third fixation member can include a porous titanium material and be disposed between the first and second fixation members, such that the first, second and third fixation members define a substantially linear configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Robert Taylor, Benjamin I. Joseph, Thomas M. Vanasse

Patent number: 9345581Abstract: The present teachings provide a modular glenoid prosthesis for replacing a portion of the anatomy. The prosthesis can comprise a platform having a coupling portion, a base and a central bore that extends from the coupling portion through the base. The central bore can define a tapered region, and the coupling portion can include a plurality of bores. The prosthesis can include a glenoid component having a plurality of pegs. Each of the plurality of pegs can be coupled to a respective one of the plurality of bores. The prosthesis can include a glenosphere including a tapered stem couplable to the tapered region. The glenoid component and the glenosphere are selectively couplable to the platform for replacing the portion of the anatomy.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: BIOMET MANUFACTURING, LLCInventors: Nathan A. Winslow, Clinton E. Kehres, Benjamin I. Joseph, Bryce A. Isch, Russell F. Warren
