IMPLANTS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
Implants, device, systems and methods for replacing an articulation surface in a joint, for example, a reverse glenoid implant with a baseplate, a central screw, a peripheral screw, a modular taper, and a post. Methods for implanting the glenoid implant are also disclosed.
1 . A method of assembling a shoulder implant, the method comprising:
inserting a central screw to a baseplate;
screwing a coupling member into a central bore of the baseplate;
placing a glenosphere onto the coupling member;
inserting a post through the glenosphere and the coupling member; and
threading the post into a recess of the central screw.
2 . An implant, comprising:
a baseplate;
a central screw extending through a central bore in the baseplate, wherein the central screw comprises:
a head portion;
a proximal non-threaded section extending away from a second end of the head portion;
a distal threaded section extending away from a second end of the proximal non-threaded section; and
a recess extending into the central screw from a first end through the head portion and into the proximal non-threaded section, wherein the recess comprises:
a first section extending from the first end of the central screw towards a second end of the central screw; and
a second portion extending from a second end of the first section towards the second end of the central screw, and wherein the second portion is threaded;
a coupling member engaging a portion of the central bore of the baseplate; and
a glenosphere coupled to the coupling member.
