Abstract: An oscillating surgical rasp for use in the surgical preparation of a glenoid of a patient prior to implantation of an augmented glenoid prosthesis comprises an attachment head and a cutting head secured to the attachment head. The attachment head has a body that extends along a longitudinal axis from a first end configured to be secured in a chuck of an oscillating tool to a second end secured to the cutting head. The first end of the body of the attachment head defines an axis of oscillation that extends orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the oscillating surgical rasp. Surgical methods for the use of such oscillating rasps are also disclosed.

Abstract: An orthopedic implant comprises an articulation head comprising a bearing surface and a reverse surface and a securement disk. The securement disk comprises an attachment surface attached to at least a portion of the reverse surface of the articulation head, a securement surface opposite the attachment surface and adapted for coupling to a fixation plate secured to a bone, and at least one opening formed in the securement surface of the securement disk and adapted to accept fasteners therein. The securement disk comprises a porous material.

Abstract: An orthopaedic assembly. The orthopaedic assembly includes a first member adapted to be coupled to a bone and an adjustable connector assembly including an adjuster having a threaded end and a tapered end. The assembly also includes an articulation component including a bearing surface and adapted to be coupled to the tapered end of the adjustable connector assembly. The threaded end is adapted to engage the fixation plate.

Abstract: Oscillating rasps for the surgical preparation of the bone prior to the implantation of a glenoid or acetabular component with complex geometry are disclosed. Surgical methods for the use of such oscillating rasps are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of surgically implanting a glenoid component into the glenoid of a patient is disclosed. The method includes securing a rasp guide into the glenoid of the patient. The method also includes oscillating a surgical rasp over the rasp guide to form a cavity that is shaped to receive the glenoid component. The method also includes implanting the glenoid component in the cavity.

Abstract: A method of implanting a shoulder prosthesis in a scapula of a patient includes the step of placing a guide over a primary glenoid component previously implanted within the scapula of the patient. The method further includes the steps of removing the primary glenoid component from the scapula and preparing the scapula for implantation of a secondary glenoid component, wherein the removing and preparing steps occur simultaneously.
