GLENOID PROSTHESIS AND METHOD OF IMPLANTATION

摘要

A glenoid prosthesis for implantation on a scapula bone. The glenoid prosthesis includes a base portion having an articular bearing surface configured to articulate against a humeral head or prosthetic implant, an elongated body portion extending axially from the base portion and configured for positioning within a cavity in the scapula bone, at least one cross bore or through hole extending across the elongated body portion, and a fastener configured for placement in the scapula bone and passing through the through hole in the elongated body portion to thereby attach the glenoid prosthesis to the scapula bone. A method of implanting the glenoid prosthesis on a scapula bone is also provided.
