Abstract
A method of implanting a revision glenoid component in one embodiment includes accessing a previously implanted glenoid component in a scapula, removing the previously implanted glenoid component, identifying an inferior glenoid circle center of the scapula, preparing a glenoid fossa of the scapula to receive a revision glenoid component, selecting a revision glenoid component, and implanting the selected revision glenoid component based upon the identified inferior glenoid circle center in the prepared glenoid fossa.

A method of implanting a revision glenoid component comprising:
- accessing a previously implanted glenoid component in a scapula;
- removing the previously implanted glenoid component;
- identifying an inferior glenoid circle center of the scapula;
- preparing a glenoid fossa of the scapula to receive a revision glenoid component;
- selecting a revision glenoid component;
- and
- implanting the selected revision glenoid component based upon the identified inferior glenoid circle center in the prepared glenoid fossa.
A method of implanting a revision glenoid component comprising:
- obtaining an image of a scapula;
- identifying an inferior glenoid circle center of the scapula based upon the image;
- selecting a revision glenoid component;
- removing a previously implanted glenoid component from the scapula;
- preparing a glenoid fossa of the scapula to receive a prosthesis;
- and
- implanting the selected revision glenoid component in the prepared glenoid fossa based upon the identified inferior glenoid circle center.
A kit for use in revision shoulder arthroplasty comprising:
- a first revision glenoid base component including a lip defining a first circular outer periphery and a bottom surface defining a second circular outer periphery;
- a first revision glenoid articulation component configured to couple with the first revision glenoid base component;
- and
- a reamer for preparing a cavity in a glenoid, the reamer including a reamer portion shaped complementary to, and slightly larger than, the first revision glenoid base component such that when a cavity is formed in the glenoid with the reamer, the first revision glenoid base component fits within the cavity without being press-fit into the cavity.
