A glenoid implant includes a body, a plurality of fins, a collet, and a plug. The body has a central aperture therethrough and a plurality of slots. Each of the plurality of fins are coupled with a respective one of the plurality of slots of the boss of the body such that each of the plurality of fins is configured to move from a first generally inward position towards a second generally outward position. The collet including an interior threaded bore and a plurality of deflectable arms. The plug includes a threaded portion and a tip portion configured to engage with and cause the plurality of deflectable arms of the collet to move and cause the plurality of fins to move from the first generally inward position towards the second generally outward position, thereby aiding in securing the body to a scapula of a patient.

The instrumentation aims at improving the implantation of a glenoidal prosthetic component which is both provided with a convex articular surface defining a joint axis and intended to articulate with a humeral prosthetic component, and which is adapted so as to be fixedly assembled with a plate to be anchored to the glenoid, the assembly between the glenoidal prosthesis component and the plate being centered on an implantation axis which is both parallel and shifted relatively to the joint axis, the relative position of the glenoidal prosthesis component and of the plate being adjustable around the implantation axis before fixing the assembly. The instrumentation comprises a tool for positioning the glenoidal prosthetic component and the plate relatively to each other angularly around the implantation axis, this tool comprising a body, which, in use, extends transversely to the implantation axis and which is provided with localization elements for localizing an implantation angle centered on the implantation axis, so that the tool is able to intra-operatively protract the implantation angle with respect to the glenoid.

An orthopedic prosthesis includes a joint replacement portion that has a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a screw hole that extends through the joint replacement portion from the first side and through the second side. The prosthesis also includes a peg that extends from the second side and that has a concave relief surface that partially defines the screw hole.

Disclosed are prosthesis systems and methods that provide ways by which the articulating surfaces of the implant can be exchanged such that the anatomic surfaces can be converted to reverse surfaces, while not exchanging the fixation components. Also disclosed herein are methods by which the surgeon can implant an inset anatomic articulating glenoid implant whereby at a later date, can remove the anatomic articulating surface and replace it with a reverse articulating surface such that the primary means of fixation remains well fixed in the glenoid fossa at the moment of articular exchange.

A reverse shoulder system can include, for example, a glenoid baseplate comprising a longitudinal axis, the glenoid baseplate further including a stem and a central channel within a sidewall of the stem. The stem can include a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the glenoid baseplate can be angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem, wherein the longitudinal axis of the glenoid baseplate is not perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem. Other components including a glenosphere, tools, and methods of use are also disclosed.

A joint replacement system for repairing an articular surface of a first bone of a joint includes an anchor portion and an implant portion. The anchor portion includes an anchor to be secured to the bone, and an anchor fixation head including a bone-facing surface (BFS) extending radially outward from the anchor and an implant facing surface (IFS) extending from a periphery of the BFS. The implant portion is formed from a material (e.g., CoCr) more dense than the material of the anchor portion (e.g., Ti) and includes a fixation cavity to receive at least a portion of the anchor fixation head (AFH), the fixation cavity includes an anchor facing surface (AFS) configured to form a frictional connection with the IFS, and a load bearing surface having a contour for articulating against a cooperating articulating surface of a second bone of the joint.

This shoulder prosthesis glenoid component (2) has on one of its faces an articulation surface (S.sub.A) adapted to cooperate with a humeral head and having, on an opposite face (S.sub.G) adapted to be immobilized on the glenoid cavity (G) of a shoulder, a keel (4) for anchoring it in the glenoid cavity (G). This keel (4) comprises a body (5) that extends from the opposite face (S.sub.G). The keel (4) comprises at least one fin (6) projecting from the body (5) 2 which runs over at least a part of the perimeter of the body (5).
