Shoulder arthroplasty systems and configurations for components thereof

A convertible shoulder arthroplasty system comprising:

• a baseplate comprising a baseplate body, the baseplate body comprising a lateral side and a medial side, wherein the medial side extends outward in the medial direction to form a substantially convex medial side surface of the baseplate body;
• a tapered recess positioned in a central region of the baseplate body, wherein the tapered recess opens to the lateral side of the baseplate body and extends in the medial direction from the lateral side of the baseplate body toward the medial side of the baseplate body;
• a fixation component that is fixedly attached, removably attached, integral with, or separate from the baseplate body, wherein the fixation component is attached or is configured to be attached to the central region of the baseplate body and to extend in the medial direction when attached to the baseplate body for securing the baseplate body to a patient's scapula;
• a glenoid component for use in an anatomical shoulder arthroplasty, the glenoid component comprising a concave articulating surface and a tapered extension extending from a medial side thereof, wherein the tapered extension is configured to mate with the tapered recess positioned in the central region of the baseplate body for securing the glenoid component to the baseplate body;
• a humeral head for use in the anatomical shoulder arthroplasty, the humeral head comprising a convex articulating surface that is configured to mate with the concave articulating surface of the glenoid component;
• a glenosphere for use in a reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the glenosphere comprising a convex articulating surface and a tapered recess in a bottom portion thereof;
• a double trunnion connector for use in the reverse shoulder arthroplasty that is separate from the baseplate body and the fixation component, wherein the double trunnion connector is configured to attach to both the tapered recess in the baseplate body and to the tapered recess in the bottom portion of the glenosphere for securing the glenosphere to the baseplate body;
• a humeral socket for use in the reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the humeral socket comprising a concave articulating surface;
• wherein the glenosphere and the glenoid component both comprise a metal or ceramic articulating surface;
• wherein the humeral head and the humeral socket both comprise a polymer articulating surface;
• and
• a humeral component comprising a distal stem and a proximal portion defining a cavity, wherein a lateral side of the humeral head and a lateral side of the humeral socket are both configured to mate with the cavity of the humeral component.
