A glenoid implant, comprising:
- a circular body, having a medial surface, an articulating surface, a peripheral edge, and a central axis;
- a peg on the medial surface, disposed concentrically on the central axis;
- wherein the medial surface extends radially outwardly to become a portion of the peripheral edge, wherein the portion of peripheral edge is concentric to and surrounds the peg;
- and
- a channel located on the peripheral edge and separating the portion of the peripheral edge that becomes the medial surface from a remaining portion of the peripheral edge, wherein the channel extends circumferentially around the peripheral edge and wherein the channel is concentric with the center of the circular body;
- and
- wherein a diameter of the circular body between the channel and the articulating surface is larger than a diameter of the circular body at the channel.
