A prosthetic glenoid component for attachment to a glenoid surface of a
scapula to replace a natural socket of a shoulder and to provide a
bearing surface for a head portion of an arm bone or humerus. The glenoid
component has a metal back with integrally formed attachment legs which
are cemented into corresponding holes formed in the glenoid surface, and
also has an opening for receiving a hollow metal cage which is screwed
into the glenoid surface.
