Abstract
A glenoid implant can include a body, a first fixation member, a second fixation member, and a third fixation member. The body can include an articular surface and a scapula-engaging surface opposite from the articular surface. The first, second and third fixation members can extend from the scapula-engaging surface. The third fixation member can include a porous titanium material and be disposed between the first and second fixation members, such that the first, second and third fixation members define a substantially linear configuration.
Claims21
(canceled)
A glenoid implant comprising:
- a body having an articular surface and a scapula-engaging surface opposite from the articular surface, the scapula-engaging surface including a plurality of teeth extending therefrom;
- an insert secured within a blind hole located in the body, the insert secured by mechanical fasteners or an adhesive;
- a first fixation member extending from the scapula-engaging surface;
- a second fixation member extending from the scapula-engaging surface;
- and
- a third fixation member configured to extend from the scapula-engaging surface and threadably connect to the insert, the third fixation member including a porous titanium material and being disposed between the first and second fixation members, such that the first, second and third fixation members define a substantially linear configuration.
An implant comprising:
- a body having an articular surface and a scapula engaging surface opposite from the articular surface, the body being at least partially formed from a first biocompatible material, the scapula-engaging surface including a plurality of teeth extending therefrom and arranged in a grid;
- an insert secured within a blind hole located in the body at a central portion of the scapula engaging surface, the insert secured by mechanical fasteners or an adhesive;
- first and second fixation members extending from the central portion of the scapula-engaging surface, such that the first and second fixation members define an axis of symmetry relative to the scapula-engaging surface, at least one of the first and second fixation members includes a second biocompatible material that is different than the first biocompatible material;
- and
- a third fixation member configured to extend from and threadably connect to the insert, the second fixation member being disposed between the first and third fixation members, such that the first, second and third fixation members define a substantially linear configuration.
A glenoid implant, comprising:
- a body having an articular surface and a scapula-engaging surface opposite from the articular surface, the body at least partially formed from a first biocompatible material, the scapula-engaging surface including a plurality of teeth extending therefrom and arranged in an array of orthogonally disposed rows;
- an insert secured within a blind hole located in body, the insert secured by mechanical fasteners or an adhesive;
- a first fixation member extending from the scapula-engaging surface;
- a second fixation member extending from the scapula-engaging surface;
- and
- a third fixation member configured to extend from and threadably connect to the insert, the third fixation member including a second biocompatible material different than the first biocompatible material, the first, second and third fixation members being disposed in a central portion of the glenoid implant, wherein the third fixation member is disposed between the first and second fixation members, such that the first, second and third fixation members define a substantially linear configuration.
