ABSTRACT:
Affixation of a glenoid component of a prosthetic shoulder implant is enhanced and forces exerted upon the glenoid component during service are managed by the location and orientation of affixation pegs on the glenoid component, and especially the location of a medially extending superior affixation peg closely adjacent the superior edge of the glenoid component, and the offset orientation of an inferior affixation peg, relative to the superior affixation peg, the glenoid component including intermediate affixation pegs extending medially and spaced from one another in the anterior-posterior direction intermediate the superior affixation peg and the inferior affixation peg.
