2. The kit of claim 1 , wherein each individual prosthetic augment within the plurality are monolithic.
3. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the humeral adapter tray portion and the augment portion of each individual prosthetic augment within the plurality are modular and are configured to lockingly engage each other.
4. The kit of claim 1 , wherein each individual prosthetic augment within the plurality is further configured to include suture bores for soft tissue fixation.
5. The kit of claim 1 , wherein each individual prosthetic augment within the plurality is coated to facilitate muscle reattachment.
6. The kit of claim 1 , wherein an individual augment portion within the plurality of prosthetic augments is further configured to include at least one of additional anterior coverage or additional posterior coverage, wherein the additional anterior coverage or additional posterior coverage is configured to reconstitute the lateral tuberosity.
7. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the humeral stem is a revision humeral stem.
8. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the humeral stem is a fracture humeral stem.
9. The kit of claim 1 , wherein at least one screw hole extends through the augment portion.
10. The kit device of claim 1 , wherein the augment portion of each individual prosthetic augment within the plurality further comprises a medial face opposite the lateral face, and wherein the medial face of each individual prosthetic augment within the plurality is adapted for contacting the humeral stem.
