  • AUGMENTED GLENOID COMPONENTS AND DEVICES FOR IMPLANTING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20250090340
    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.

  • Augmented glenoid components and devices for implanting the same
    Patent number: 12186197
    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.
