INSET/ONLAY GLENOID, POROUS COATED CONVERTIBLE GLENOID, AND HUMERAL HEADS WITH TEXTURED UNDERSIDES

Abstract: disclosed are prosthesis systems and methods that provide porous fixation rings by which the articulating surfaces of the implant can be exchanged such that the anatomic surfaces can be converted to reverse surfaces, while not exchanging the fixation components. also disclosed herein are methods by which the surgeon can implant an inset anatomic articulating glenoid implant whereby at a later date, can remove the anatomic articulating surface and replace it with a reverse articulating surface such that the primary means of fixation remains well fixed in the glenoid fossa at the moment of articular exchange.
