Abstract:
A shoulder implant system includes a humeral stem implant, a humeral neck implant component, a humeral head implant component, and a glenoid implant. The humeral stem implant has a fin coupled to an exterior surface thereof that is inwardly tapered at an angle relative to vertical. At least a portion of the fin forms a wedge that directly engages and compacts cancellous bone during installation of the humeral stem implant. The humeral neck implant component is configured to be coupled with the humeral stem implant. The humeral head implant component is configured to be coupled to the humeral stem implant via the humeral neck implant component. The glenoid implant has a plurality of peripheral pegs. Each of the peripheral pegs has a plurality of sets of resilient lobes.

Claim (Index 60):
A method of installing a glenoid implant in a prepared glenoid of a patient, the prepared glenoid having a mating surface, a central bore, and a plurality of peripheral bores, the method comprising:\n providing a glenoid implant including:\n (i) a body having a first side with a concave surface and a second opposing side with a convex surface, the convex surface having a peripheral area surrounding a central area; \n (ii) a central peg extending from the central area of the convex surface; and \n (iii) a plurality of peripheral pegs extending from the peripheral area of the convex surface, each of the peripheral pegs having at least one radially extending feature; \n applying bone cement to at least a portion of the central peg; positioning, via at least one of one or more tools, the glenoid implant such that:\n (i) at least a portion of the convex surface directly engages the mating surface of the prepared glenoid, \n (ii) the central peg is positioned within the central bore of the prepared glenoid, and \n (iii) each of the plurality of peripheral pegs is positioned within a respective one of the peripheral bores of the prepared glenoid; \n disengaging the at least one of the one or more tools from the glenoid implant prior to the bone cement applied to the at least a portion of the central peg curing; and maintaining, while the bone cement cures, the position of the glenoid implant relative to the prepared glenoid via the at least one radially extending feature of the plurality of peripheral pegs.
