ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic glenoid for use in the shoulder is comprised of a cup having three flanges. To prepare the shoulder for implantation of the cup, the glenoid fossa is reamed to a depth at which the acromion, coracoid, and lateral portion of the scapula form a tri-flanged configuration. The cup is proportioned to be positioned in the reamed glenoid fossa such that each of the three flanges of the cup corresponds to one of the three bones forming the tri-flanged configuration of bone.
