Total reverse shoulder systems and methods
A reverse shoulder system can include, for example, a glenoid baseplate comprising a longitudinal axis, the glenoid baseplate further including a stem and a central channel within a sidewall of the stem. The stem can include a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the glenoid baseplate can be angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem, wherein the longitudinal axis of the glenoid baseplate is not perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem. Other components including a glenosphere, tools, and methods of use are also disclosed.
1. A reverse shoulder implant, comprising:
a baseplate configured to be secured to a glenoid of a scapular bone of patient, the baseplate having a lateral end, a medial end, and a baseplate central channel extending through the baseplate from the lateral end to the medial end;
a central post configured to at least partially pass through the central channel;
a locking nut having a cylindrical shape, an external thread on an outside surface of the locking nut and an internal thread on an internal surface of the locking nut, the locking nut configured to engage the central post when the central post and baseplate are implanted within the medical patient, wherein the external thread is configured to couple the locking nut with the baseplate central channel;
a glenosphere, having a lateral, convex articular side, a medial side, and a glenosphere central channel extending from the convex articular side to the medial side and configured to interface with the baseplate; and
a glenosphere screw, sized to pass at least partially within the glenosphere central channel and having external threads sized to secure the glenosphere screw to the internal thread on the internal surface of the locking nut to secure the glenosphere to the locking nut.
