Abstract
A glenoid implant system, for example, includes a glenoid implant and a glenoid cutting guide. The glenoid implant includes a body having a concave surface with a first curved edge portion and a second curved edge portion, and an attachment surface having a concave edge portion joined to the second curved edge portion of the concave surface. The concave surface and the attachment surface are disposed at an angle. The glenoid cutting guide includes a body having a convex surface engageable with a surface of a glenoid cavity and a cutting guide surface for resecting a cutout in a glenoid cavity, the cutout having a curved edge portion corresponding to the second curved edge portion of the glenoid implant.
Claims28
A glenoid implant system for repair of a glenoid cavity of a patient, the glenoid cavity having a surface, said glenoid implant system comprising:
- a glenoid implant comprising a body having:
- a concave surface with a first curved edge portion and a second curved edge portion;
- an attachment surface having a concave edge portion joined to said second curved edge portion of said concave surface;
- and
- wherein said concave surface and said attachment surface are disposed at an angle;
- and
- a glenoid cutting guide having a body having a convex surface configured to be engageable with the surface of the glenoid cavity and a cutting guide surface configured for resecting a cutout in the glenoid cavity;
- and
- said second curved edge portion of said glenoid implant configured to correspond to a curved edge portion of the cutout in the glenoid cavity, and said attachment surface of the glenoid implant configured to correspond to a surface of the cutout in the glenoid cavity.
A glenoid implant comprising:
- a glenoid implant comprising a body having:
- a concave surface having a first curved edge portion and a second curved edge portion;
- an attachment surface having a concave edge portion joined to said second curved edge portion of said concave surface;
- and
- wherein said concave surface and said attachment surface are disposed at an angle;
- wherein said body of said glenoid implant comprises an outwardly-extending cantilevered portion and a flange;
- wherein said outwardly-extending cantilevered portion and said flange comprising a metallic material;
- wherein said body of said glenoid implant comprising a polymeric material supported by said outwardly-extending cantilevered portion, said polymeric material defining said concave surface.
