METHOD OF IMPLANTING A REVERSE SHOULDER ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT HAVING A METAGLENE COMPONENT WITH A SCREW LOCKING CAP

摘要

A method of surgically implanting a reverse shoulder orthopaedic implant, the method comprises the step of installing a glenosphere component having a bore formed therein over a metaglene component implanted within bone tissue of a glenoid surface of a scapula, capturing a screw cap within the bore of the glenosphere component, the screw cap positioned with a shaft of the screw cap located within a bore formed in an elongated stem of the metaglene component and an upper surface of a locking flange opposite the shaft of the screw cap flush with an upper surface of a platform of the metaglene component opposite the elongated stem of the metaglene component.
