More Information
Summary:A glenoid component can include a base plate (110). A glenosphere (112) can be configured to be mountable to the base plate. The glenosphere can be adapted to operate with a complementary humeral component (102). The base plate can include a removable taper member (302) on a side of the base plate facing the glenosphere. The taper member can be configured to mount the glenosphere to the base plate. The removable taper member allows revision of the glenoid component without removal of the components fixed to the bone.
