Zusammenfassung:A glenoid implant for an inverted shoulder prosthesis includes a base, a glenosphere having a central orifice and mounted on the base by mutual wedging between conical bearing surfaces, a main anchoring screw crossing the base and including an anchor rod having a tapped end segment, and an inner hole having a threaded intermediate portion, and a tip portion. A locking screw crosses the central orifice and includes a proximal head and a locking rod having an end segment intended to slide in the tip portion of the inner hole and a tapped intermediate segment intended to cooperate by screwing with the intermediate portion of the inner hole to lock the mutual wedging of the conical bearing surfaces, the proximal head abutting on an annular bearing surface in the central orifice.
