Abstract

Disclosed is a central augment. The central augment can include a body and a protrusion. The body can include a first curved surface shaped to interface with a central portion of a bone and a second surface opposite the first curved surface and defining a recess sized to receive a portion of a prosthetic component. The protrusion can extend from the second surface within the recess.

Claims (25)

1. A glenoid prosthesis central augment for use in a shoulder replacement procedure, the central augment comprising:

a body including a glenoid engagement surface having a continuous hemispherical shape to interface with a central portion of a reamed glenoid and a second surface opposite the glenoid engagement surface and defining a recess sized to receive a boss of a glenoid component;

a protrusion extending from the second surface within the recess, the protrusion including an externally threaded surface operable to be received within a bore and engage an internally threaded surface defined by the boss of the glenoid component; and

a post extending from the glenoid engagement surface, the post sized to be received in a bore formed in the central portion of the glenoid,

wherein the body, the protrusion, and the post are monolithic,

wherein at least one of the body and the post includes a porous metal coating.

2. The central augment of claim 1 , wherein the post includes a threaded portion.

3. The central augment of claim 1 , wherein the post includes a barbed portion.

4. The central augment of claim 1 , wherein the post is a fluted peg.

5. The central augment of claim 1 , wherein the recess includes a tapered profile complementary to the portion of the glenoid component.

6. A modular glenoid system for use in a shoulder replacement procedure, the modular glenoid system comprising:

a glenoid component including:

an articulation surface,

a glenoid engaging surface opposite the articulation surface, and

a boss extending from the glenoid engaging surface, the boss defining a bore having an internal thread; and

a monolithic modular augment including:

a first outer surface having a continuous hemispherical shape,

a second internal surface opposite the first outer surface and defining a recess sized to receive the boss,

a post, the first outer surface forming a dome and shaped to interface with a reamed portion of a glenoid, the post extending from the first outer surface and sized to be received in a bore created in the glenoid, and

a protrusion extending from the second internal surface and having an externally thread sized to be received within the bore and engage the internal thread of the boss.

7. The modular glenoid system of claim 6 , wherein the glenoid component includes a plurality of pegs spaced about the boss.

8. The modular glenoid system of claim 6 , wherein the monolithic modular augment is selected from a plurality of monolithic modular augments, each of the plurality of modular augments sized to complement a different sized central defect.

9. The modular glenoid system of claim 6 , wherein the first outer surface has a spherical shape.

10. The modular glenoid system of claim 6 , wherein the post includes a threaded portion.

11. The modular glenoid system of claim 6 , wherein the post and the first outer surface each include a porous metal coating.
