Rotatable reverse metaglene
A metaglene assembly for use in a shoulder prosthesis includes a metaglene body, an augment, a void, at least one fastener hole, and at least one fastener. The metaglene body has a lateral, prosthesis-facing side, and a medial, bone-facing side. The augment extends medially from the medial, bone-facing side of the metaglene body. The void is defined by a portion of the medial, bone-facing side of the metaglene body and a lateral portion of the augment. The fastener hole extends from the void through the augment. The fastener is configured to extend within the fastener hole.
