A glenoid component for securement to a glenoid surface of a scapula so as to
provide
a bearing surface for a head portion of a humerus includes a body portion having
a first surface configured to contact the glenoid surface of the scapula and a
second surface configured to receive the head portion of the humerus. The glenoid
component also includes an anchor peg extending from the first surface of the body
portion for penetrating the glenoid surface of the scapula so as to secure the
body portion to the glenoid surface of the scapula. The anchor peg has a first
end portion and a second end portion with the first end portion of the anchor peg
being secured to the first surface of the body portion, and the second end portion
of the anchor peg having a number of fins secured thereto. The glenoid component
also includes a first stabilizing peg extending from the first surface of the body
portion for penetrating the glenoid surface of the scapula so as to prevent movement
of the body portion relative to the glenoid surface of the scapula. A method of
securing a glenoid component to a glenoid surface of a scapula so as to provide
a bearing surface for a head portion of a humerus is also disclosed.
