The present invention discloses an improved shoulder joint implant
assembly including a plastic ball secured to a first joint defining bone
end face and a plastic receiver secured to a second joint defining bone
end face. Each of the ball and receiver implants are constructed of a
composite hardened plastic with a softened cartilage wear surface
plastic. A fastener is secured to the first joint defining bone end face
