Abstract
A glenoid implant is provided and may include a body portion and a stem portion. The stem portion may extend from the body portion along a longitudinal axis. The body portion may include an articular side and a bone-engaging side opposite the articular side. At least a portion of the bone-engaging side may be disposed at a non-parallel angle relative to at least a peripheral edge of the articulation side.
Claims9
A glenoid implant comprising:
- a body portion;
- and
- a stem portion formed separately from the body portion and attachable to the body portion such that when attached, the stem portion extends from the body portion along a longitudinal axis,
- the body portion having an articular side and a bone-engaging side opposite the articular side,
- at least a portion of the bone-engaging side disposed at a non-parallel angle relative to at least a peripheral edge of the articular side,
- the bone-engaging side including a bone-engaging surface that is convex at each location on the bone-engaging surface,
- the bone-engaging surface extending fully around a periphery of the bone-engaging side,
- the bone-engaging surface including a first portion and a second portion,
- the first portion having a first peripheral edge disposed at a first angle α1 relative to at least the peripheral edge of the articular side,
- the second portion having a second peripheral edge disposed at a second, different angle α2 relative to at least the peripheral edge of the articular side,
- the body portion including a plurality of apertures extending through the body portion between the articular side and the bone-engaging side,
- the stem portion including a concavely radiused surface adjacent the bone-engaging side and encircling the stem portion, the concavely radiused surface extending radially outward and intersecting at least one of the apertures.

A glenoid implant comprising:
- a stem portion having a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a body portion formed separately from the stem portion and attachable to the stem portion such that when attached, the body portion is carried at a proximal end of the stem portion,
- the body portion including an articular side, a bone-engaging side opposite the articular side, and a peripheral sidewall extending between the articular side and the bone-engaging side,
- the peripheral sidewall having a depth parallel to the longitudinal axis,
- at least a portion of the peripheral sidewall increasing in depth in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis,
- the bone-engaging side including a bone-engaging surface that is convex at each location on the bone-engaging surface,
- the bone-engaging surface extending fully around a periphery of the bone-engaging side,
- the body portion including a plurality of apertures extending through the body portion between the articular side and the bone-engaging side,
- the stem portion including a concavely radiused surface adjacent the bone-engaging side and encircling the stem portion, the concavely radiused surface extending radially outward and intersecting at least one of the apertures.
