Claim 10:
11. A scapular anchor for fixing a glenoid component of a shoulder joint prosthesis to a patient's scapula with compromised anatomy, comprising:
a glenoid support including a flange and a pin integral with the flange for fixing said glenoid component to said scapular anchor;
said flange having a distal surface structured to be at least partially in contact with a glenoid cavity of said scapula and an opposite proximal surface;
said scapular anchor comprising at least one customized portion specifically shaped to match a bone morphology of a scapula of a single patient with compromised anatomy;
said at least one customized portion comprises at least one coracoid support projection having a substantially tubular shape integrally formed with said glenoid support and structured to abut at a coracoid process of said scapula;
a proximal end of said at least one coracoid support projection being adjacent to said glenoid support;
a distal end of said at least one coracoid support projection being structured to abut to said coracoid process of said scapula;
a through-hole extending between said proximal end and said distal end for inserting a stabilization bone screw into said coracoid process of said scapula.
