Abstract
A kit for implanting a glenoid component in one embodiment includes a retroversion glenoid component including a generally flat glenoid bone contacting surface defining a first plane, a first offset peg extending away from the glenoid bone contacting surface, a concave articulating surface, an upper surface extending about the concave articulating surface and generally opposite to the glenoid bone contacting surface, the upper surface defining a second plane, the second plane angled with respect to the first plane, and a drill guide configured to guide a drill in forming a bore in a scapula to receive the first offset peg.
Claims17
A kit for implanting a glenoid component comprising:
- a retroversion glenoid component including a generally flat glenoid bone contacting surface defining a first plane, a first offset peg extending away from the glenoid bone contacting surface, a concave articulating surface, an upper surface extending about the concave articulating surface and generally opposite to the glenoid bone contacting surface, the upper surface defining a second plane, the second plane angled with respect to the first plane;
- and
- a drill guide configured to guide a drill in forming a bore in a scapula to receive the first offset peg.
A kit for implanting a glenoid component comprising:
- a retroversion glenoid component including a generally flat glenoid bone contacting surface defining a first plane, a glenoid peg extending away from the glenoid bone contacting surface and defining a glenoid peg axis, the glenoid peg axis forming an angle other than 90 degrees with the first plane, and a concave articulating surface;
- and
- a drill guide configured to guide a drill in forming a bore in a scapula, the drill guide including a generally flat drill guide bone contacting surface defining a second plane and a drill guide peg extending away from a bottom portion of the drill guide and defining a drill guide peg axis, the drill guide peg axis forming an angle other than 90 degrees with the second plane, wherein a first minimum angle defined by the center peg axis and the first plane is the same as a second minimum angle defined by the drill guide peg axis and the second plane.
