Abstract: A method for coupling a glenoid component to a scapula includes forming an anchor-receiving hole in a glenoid of the scapula; inserting a guide pin into the anchor-receiving hole; forming a first concave surface of the glenoid using a reaming device; forming a second concave surface of the glenoid using the reaming device; removing the guide pin; and connecting the glenoid component such that a base surface portion faces the first concave surface and an augmented surface portion faces the second concave surface.

Abstract: Provided is a glenoid implant for a shoulder prosthesis that includes: a baseplate including a proximal end, a distal end, an outer periphery, and one or more recesses that extend therethrough adjacent to the outer periphery and extending from the proximal end to the distal end; an internal member disposed in each of the one or more recesses, the internal member defining an aperture extending from the proximal end to the distal end through the internal member; and a screw for each of the at least one internal member, the screw configured to be placed through the aperture, the screw having an external threaded surface. The internal threaded surface of the internal member has more thread starts than the external threaded surface of the screw.

Abstract: A glenoid component for coupling to a scapula of a subject includes a body. The body includes an articulation surface adapted to articulate with a humeral component, and the body further includes a distal surface adapted to face the glenoid of the scapula. The distal surface includes a base surface portion adapted to face a first portion of the glenoid. The distal surface further includes an augmented surface portion adapted to face a second portion of the glenoid. The base surface portion and the augmented surface portion define an obtuse angle therebetween.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a convertible prosthesis that is capable of conversion from a humeral head replacement to a reverse reconstruction without any removal of parts integrated into the patient's bony anatomy (e.g. implant stems). A desired overall implant inclination angle may be achieved by matching various implant stems with various reverse inserts, thus permitting a resection surface to be matched with an implant stem selection while also permitting a desired overall implant inclination angle to be achieved through the selection of an appropriate insert.

Abstract: A glenoid implant of a shoulder prosthesis includes a baseplate having a shaft coupled to, and extending from a bottom surface, of its plate. The plate includes a peripheral ring extending downwardly away from, and circumferentially around, its bottom surface. The exterior surfaces of the peripheral ring have threads formed therein. A method of installing a glenoid implant during an orthopaedic surgical procedure is also disclosed.

Abstract: A glenoid implant includes a baseplate, a pair of bone screws, and an augmentation member. The baseplate includes a plurality of screw holes with the pair of bone screws being positioned in two of the screw holes and the augmentation member being positioned in a third screw hole. The augmentation member includes a non-threaded post configured to abut the bottom of a bone defect. A method of installing a glenoid implant during an orthopaedic surgical procedure is also disclosed.

Abstract: A shoulder assembly is provided which includes a base member including a collar; a helical structure extending from the collar in a distal direction; and a first pathway projecting distally of the collar and through the helical structure adjacent to an inner periphery thereof, the first pathway being generally transverse to the helical structure and extending in a space between successive portions of the helical structure; and a locking device comprising a proximal support and a first arm projecting distally of the proximal support, the first arm configured to be disposed in the first pathway projecting distally of the collar when the proximal support is disposed adjacent to the collar; where the first arm is disposed through bone in the space between successive portions of the helical structure when the shoulder assembly is implanted.

Abstract: A stemless humeral shoulder assembly having a base member and an anchor advanceable into the base member. The base member can include a distal end that can be embedded in bone and a proximal end that can be disposed at a bone surface. The base member can also have a plurality of spaced apart arms projecting from the proximal end to the distal end. The anchor can project circumferentially into the arms and into a space between the arms. When the anchor is advanced into the base member, the anchor can be exposed between the arms. A recess can project distally from a proximal end of the anchor to within the base member. The recess can receive a mounting member of an anatomical or reverse joint interface.

Abstract: A single-use handle is configured to attach to a working shaft that can support a sounder for measuring the medullary canal of a proximal radius, and a planarizer that is configured to planarize a proximal edge of the proximal radius after the proximal radius has been resected. The handle can further include a plurality of sizing cavities that are configured to receive the resected bone so as to determine the size of the resected bone. The handle can further include an ejector that is configured to decouple the planarizer from the working shaft.
