Glenoid augment and associated method

A augmented glenoid implant assembly (200) for use in performing shoulder arthroplasty cooperates with the glenoid fossa (115) of a scapula (116). The implant assembly includes a first component (202) for attachment to the scapula. The first component defines a support surface (204) for cooperation...

Zusammenfassung:	A augmented glenoid implant assembly (200) for use in performing shoulder arthroplasty cooperates with the glenoid fossa (115) of a scapula (116). The implant assembly includes a first component (202) for attachment to the scapula. The first component defines a support surface (204) for cooperation with the glenoid fossa, a second surface (206) positioned adjacent a buttress formed in the glenoid fossa and an assembly surface (210). The implant assembly also includes a second component (212) removably secured to the first component. The second component includes an assembly surface (214) of the second component. The assembly surface of the second component is in close approximation to the assembly surface of the first component. The second component further includes an articulating surface (216) opposed to the assembly surface.
