Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A glenosphere-implant positioning device comprises a coupling body having a first portion adapted to contact a spherical portion of a glenosphere implant, and a second portion adapted to contact an underside portion of the glenosphere implant, such that the coupling body is configured to be releasably coupled to a glenosphere implant in a known manner. A guide is connected to the coupling body and is configured to be slidingly engaged to a guide pin representative of a desired implanting orientation of the glenosphere implant or to a periphery of an implanted baseplate. A method for installing a glenosphere implant on an implanted baseplate is also provided.
