A prosthetic scapular device is provided having a generally cup-shaped member, normally of a hemispherical form at least internally, and intracancellous fixation means extending from approximately one half only of the outer surface of the cup. The fixation means, normally in the form of mutually divergent spikes, include long members extending from points adjacent the central radial plane of the relevant cup half and diverge in the same sense from such plane, together with short members on opposite sides of such plane. Preferably, the long members increase in length and divergence from said plane as they approach the cup rim.
