A glenoid implant system for a reverse shoulder implant system, comprising:
- a glenoid implant having a center post;
- an angled baseplate comprising a bone facing surface to face an implant site prepared in a glenoid region of a patient, and an implant facing surface to face and engage the glenoid implant and receive the center post of the glenoid implant, wherein the implant facing surface being at an angle with respect to a centerline of the bone facing surface, wherein the bone facing surface defines a first slot configured to slidably receive a head portion of an anchor so as to affix the angled baseplate to the anchor, and wherein the first slot extends radially from an outer periphery of the bone facing surface to a center region of the bone facing surface.
A glenoid implant system for a reverse shoulder implant system, comprising:
- an angled baseplate comprising a bone facing surface to face an implant site prepared in a glenoid region of a patient, and an implant facing surface to face and engage a glenoid implant, wherein the implant facing surface being at an angle of approximately 1 degree to 40 degrees, inclusive, with respect to a centerline of the bone facing surface, wherein the bone facing surface defines a first slot configured to slidably receive a head portion of an anchor so as to affix the angled baseplate to the anchor, wherein the first slot extends radially from an outer periphery of the bone facing surface to a center region of the bone facing surface.
