Definitions
- Eccentric glenoid erosion occurs in as much as 40% of shoulder arthroplasty candidates. Wear can present anteriorly, superiorly and posteriorly, with superior being most common in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (“RSA”) candidates, and posterior being most prevalent in total shoulder arthroplasty (“TSA”) candidates. As the articular surface of the glenoid wears or degrades over time, the glenoid surface may take a biconcave shape. The worn or degraded portion of the glenoid may be referred to as the neoglenoid and the original portion of the glenoid may be referred to as the paleoglenoid.
- neoglenoid As the neoglenoid is developed, it may begin to form a pseudo-articular surface that has cortical-type bone.
- Glenoid prostheses that are designed to fit the neoglenoid preferably closely approximate the surfaces of both the neoglenoid and the paleoglenoid, in order to transfer stress to the bone in a manner that replicates the pre-operative state.
- Any glenoid implant that does not have a biconvex design to match the concave surface of a glenoid with eccentric glenoid erosion may also require removal of a relatively large amount of bone stock, including portions of the paleoglenoid, which may be undesirable.
- an augmented glenoid implant that is capable of being implanted onto a glenoid with eccentric glenoid erosion to minimize the amount of native bone stock that needs to be removed.
- glenoid prostheses require cement to fix the prosthesis to the native glenoid.
- a prosthetic glenoid implant that includes polymeric materials while also including features to enhance fixation of the glenoid prosthesis to the native glenoid.
- a glenoid implant system includes a main body, a base, and an anchor.
- the main body may be formed of a polymer, the main body defining an articulating surface configured to articulate with a humeral head, and an opposite bone-contacting surface adapted to contact the glenoid of a patient.
- the base may be formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body.
- the base may include a hole (which may be threaded) formed therein.
- the anchor may have a main section and a threaded post extending from the main section.
- the anchor may include a plurality of ribs extending in a longitudinal direction of the main section, the plurality of ribs being spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the main section.
- the anchor may further include an anti-rotation feature, which in some embodiments may be a plurality of wedges, disposed on a base of the anchor.
- the anti-rotation feature may be adapted to contact the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body when anchor is coupled to the base and/or when the threaded post is received within the hole.
- the anchor may be at least partially formed of metal, such as titanium, including porous titanium.
- the polymer may be polyethylene.
- the system may also include an augment portion positioned on the main body.
- the augment portion may have a bone-contacting surface having a first convexity adapted to contact a neoglenoid portion of the humerus, and a second convexity adapted to contact a paleoglenoid portion of the humerus, the first convexity being different than the second convexity.
- the augment portion may be formed of metal, such as titanium, including porous titanium.
- the augment portion may include an augment anchor adapted to engage the neoglenoid portion of the humerus.
- the augment anchor may be integral with the augment portion.
- the anchor may include a center anchor and at least one peripheral anchor, and the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body may include a center base and at least one peripheral base, the center base being positioned in a central area of the bone-contacting surface of the main body.
- Each of the plurality of wedges may include a first edge extending a first distance from the base of the anchor, and a second edge opposite the first edge extending a second distance from the base of the anchor, the second distance being greater than the first distance.
- Each of the plurality of wedges may be oriented so that, upon rotation of the anchor (and/or the threaded post) in a first direction to couple the anchor (and/or the threaded post) to the hole, the first edges of the plurality of wedges lead the rotation, and the second edges of the plurality of wedges trail the rotation.
- the anchor may be coupled to the main body so that when the base of the anchor is in contact with the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body, the plurality of wedges extend a distance into the main body to prevent rotation of the anchor (and/or the threaded post) in a second direction opposite the first direction.
- a method of manufacturing a glenoid implant system may include molding a polymer into a main body of the glenoid implant system, the main body defining an articulating surface configured to articulate with a humeral head, and an opposite bone-contacting surface adapted to contact the glenoid of a patient, a base being formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body.
- the method may further include forming a hole in the base of the main body.
- the method may additionally include forming an anchor from metal via additive manufacturing.
- the anchor may have a main section.
- the anchor may also have a threaded post extending from the main section.
- the anchor may include a plurality of ribs extending in a longitudinal direction of the main section, the plurality of ribs being spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the main section.
- the anchor may also include an anti-rotation feature, which in some embodiments may be a plurality of wedges, disposed on a base of the anchor.
- the anti-rotation feature may be adapted to contact the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body when the threaded post is received within the hole.
- the method my also include coupling the anchor to the base of the main body by threading the threaded post of the anchor into the hole of the base of the main body.
- Coupling the anchor to the base of the main body may include threading the threaded post of the anchor into the hole of the base of the main body until the base of the anchor contacts the base of the main body, and until the anti-rotation feature digs into the bone-contacting surface of the main body.

- Glenoid implant 100 may include a lateral articulating surface 102 and a medial bone-contacting surface 104 .
- the articulating surface 102 is intended for articulating with a corresponding humeral head of the shoulder joint, whether a native or prosthetic humeral head.
- the bone-contacting surface 104 is intended for being in contact with the patient's glenoid upon implantation.
- a first portion 106 of the implant 100 is located on a generally anterior portion of implant 100 .
- the first portion 106 has a first convexity sized and shaped to match or substantially match the concavity of the paleoglenoid.
- a second portion 108 of the implant 100 is located on a generally posterior portion of implant 100 .
- the second portion 108 has a second convexity sized and shaped to match or substantially match the concavity of the neoglenoid.
- the convexity of the first portion 106 is different from the convexity of the second portion 108 .
- the different convexities of the first portion 106 and the second portion 108 results in the bone-contacting surface 104 having a biconvex shape.
- the biconvex shape is configured to better match the degradation of the glenoid in the case of eccentric glenoid degradation that produces a neoglenoid in addition to the paleoglenoid. In such circumstances, the glenoid does not degrade evenly, thereby forming the neoglenoid and the paleoglenoid as noted above.
- the neoglenoid is the portion that is worn or degraded such that it becomes a secondary-articular surface formed of cortical-type bone. The portion of the glenoid that is not (or is less significantly) degraded or worn is the paleoglenoid.
- the biconvexity of the implant 100 allows the implant to have better contact with the eccentrically-worn glenoid upon implantation.
- the first portion 106 and the second portion 108 meet or intersect at different locations on implant 100 depending on the degree or severity of degradation found in the native glenoid being replaced.
- the glenoid implant 100 of FIGS. 1 A-B has a relatively small neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 and a relatively large paleoglenoid component (or first portion) 106 compared to the other embodiments.
- the glenoid implant 100 of FIGS. 1 E-F has a relatively large neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 and a relatively small paleoglenoid component (or first portion) 106 compared to the other embodiments.
- FIGS. 1 A-B has a neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 and a paleoglenoid component (or first portion) 106 with a size generally in-between the other two embodiments.
- the differences in the size and position of the neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 may generally correspond to an increasing progression in eccentric glenoid degradation, with FIGS. 1 A-B corresponding to a relatively early progression of eccentric degradation and FIGS. 1 E-F corresponding to a relatively late progression of eccentric degradation.
- the first portion 106 and the second portion 108 meet at an angle transverse from the anterior-posterior axis of the implant 100 . In the view of FIGS.
- the anterior direction generally corresponds to the left side of the page, while the posterior direction generally corresponds to the right side of the page.
- the angle may be about 30 degrees from the anterior-posterior axis such that the first portion 106 and the second portions 108 intersect at a 30 degree posterior bias of the neoglenoid.
- the angle may be about 10 degrees below the anterior-posterior axis.
- angles are merely exemplary, and unless noted otherwise, other angles, including angles of between about 10 degrees and about 30 degrees may be appropriate. While it is described that the first portion 106 and second portion 108 meet at an angle, that angle is descriptive of the direction of the line of intersection.

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 17/180,942, filed Feb. 22, 2021, which claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/984,336, filed Mar. 3, 2020, and titled “Glenoid Implant with Additively Manufactured Fixation Posts,” the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- Eccentric glenoid erosion occurs in as much as 40% of shoulder arthroplasty candidates. Wear can present anteriorly, superiorly and posteriorly, with superior being most common in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (“RSA”) candidates, and posterior being most prevalent in total shoulder arthroplasty (“TSA”) candidates. As the articular surface of the glenoid wears or degrades over time, the glenoid surface may take a biconcave shape. The worn or degraded portion of the glenoid may be referred to as the neoglenoid and the original portion of the glenoid may be referred to as the paleoglenoid.
- As the neoglenoid is developed, it may begin to form a pseudo-articular surface that has cortical-type bone. Glenoid prostheses that are designed to fit the neoglenoid preferably closely approximate the surfaces of both the neoglenoid and the paleoglenoid, in order to transfer stress to the bone in a manner that replicates the pre-operative state. Any glenoid implant that does not have a biconvex design to match the concave surface of a glenoid with eccentric glenoid erosion may also require removal of a relatively large amount of bone stock, including portions of the paleoglenoid, which may be undesirable. As eccentric glenoid erosion progresses, the relative sizes and shapes of the paleoglenoid and the neoglenoid may also change. It would thus be preferable to have an augmented glenoid implant that is capable of being implanted onto a glenoid with eccentric glenoid erosion to minimize the amount of native bone stock that needs to be removed.
- Still further, most glenoid prostheses require cement to fix the prosthesis to the native glenoid. In at least some scenarios, it is preferable to fix a glenoid prosthesis to the native glenoid without the use of cement. For such glenoid implants, it may be preferable to form the prosthesis at least partially of a polymeric material to provide reduced stiffness of the implant, and at least partially of metal with ingrowth features to help provide long-term fixation of the glenoid prosthesis to the glenoid. Thus, it would be desirable to have a prosthetic glenoid implant that includes polymeric materials while also including features to enhance fixation of the glenoid prosthesis to the native glenoid.
- According to one aspect of the disclosure, a glenoid implant system includes a main body, a base, and an anchor. The main body may be formed of a polymer, the main body defining an articulating surface configured to articulate with a humeral head, and an opposite bone-contacting surface adapted to contact the glenoid of a patient. The base may be formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body. The base may include a hole (which may be threaded) formed therein. The anchor may have a main section and a threaded post extending from the main section. The anchor may include a plurality of ribs extending in a longitudinal direction of the main section, the plurality of ribs being spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the main section. The anchor may further include an anti-rotation feature, which in some embodiments may be a plurality of wedges, disposed on a base of the anchor. The anti-rotation feature may be adapted to contact the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body when anchor is coupled to the base and/or when the threaded post is received within the hole. The anchor may be at least partially formed of metal, such as titanium, including porous titanium. The polymer may be polyethylene. The system may also include an augment portion positioned on the main body. The augment portion may have a bone-contacting surface having a first convexity adapted to contact a neoglenoid portion of the humerus, and a second convexity adapted to contact a paleoglenoid portion of the humerus, the first convexity being different than the second convexity. The augment portion may be formed of metal, such as titanium, including porous titanium. The augment portion may include an augment anchor adapted to engage the neoglenoid portion of the humerus. The augment anchor may be integral with the augment portion. The anchor may include a center anchor and at least one peripheral anchor, and the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body may include a center base and at least one peripheral base, the center base being positioned in a central area of the bone-contacting surface of the main body. Each of the plurality of wedges may include a first edge extending a first distance from the base of the anchor, and a second edge opposite the first edge extending a second distance from the base of the anchor, the second distance being greater than the first distance. Each of the plurality of wedges may be oriented so that, upon rotation of the anchor (and/or the threaded post) in a first direction to couple the anchor (and/or the threaded post) to the hole, the first edges of the plurality of wedges lead the rotation, and the second edges of the plurality of wedges trail the rotation. The anchor may be coupled to the main body so that when the base of the anchor is in contact with the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body, the plurality of wedges extend a distance into the main body to prevent rotation of the anchor (and/or the threaded post) in a second direction opposite the first direction.
- According to another aspect of the disclosure, a method of manufacturing a glenoid implant system may include molding a polymer into a main body of the glenoid implant system, the main body defining an articulating surface configured to articulate with a humeral head, and an opposite bone-contacting surface adapted to contact the glenoid of a patient, a base being formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body. The method may further include forming a hole in the base of the main body. The method may additionally include forming an anchor from metal via additive manufacturing. The anchor may have a main section. The anchor may also have a threaded post extending from the main section. The anchor may include a plurality of ribs extending in a longitudinal direction of the main section, the plurality of ribs being spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the main section. The anchor may also include an anti-rotation feature, which in some embodiments may be a plurality of wedges, disposed on a base of the anchor. The anti-rotation feature may be adapted to contact the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body when the threaded post is received within the hole. The method my also include coupling the anchor to the base of the main body by threading the threaded post of the anchor into the hole of the base of the main body. Coupling the anchor to the base of the main body may include threading the threaded post of the anchor into the hole of the base of the main body until the base of the anchor contacts the base of the main body, and until the anti-rotation feature digs into the bone-contacting surface of the main body. The method may also include forming an augment portion to include a bone-contacting surface with a first convexity adapted to contact a neoglenoid portion of the humerus. Molding the polymer into the main body may also include forming a second convexity in the bone-contacting surface of the main body, the second convexity being adapted to contact a paleoglenoid portion of the humerus, the first convexity being different than the second convexity. Molding the polymer into the main body portion may include overmolding the main body onto the augment portion. Forming the augment portion may include additively manufacturing the augment portion.

FIGS. 1A-1F depict an exemplary prosthetic glenoid implant for a right shoulder of a patient. It should be understood that a left glenoid implant may be provided that is substantially identical to the right glenoid implants described herein, although the left glenoid implants may be a substantially mirror image to the right glenoid implants described.FIGS. 1A, 1C, 1E depict side perspective views, whileFIGS. 1B, 1D, 1F depict corresponding perspective views.Glenoid implant 100 may include alateral articulating surface 102 and a medial bone-contactingsurface 104. The articulatingsurface 102 is intended for articulating with a corresponding humeral head of the shoulder joint, whether a native or prosthetic humeral head. The bone-contactingsurface 104 is intended for being in contact with the patient's glenoid upon implantation. Afirst portion 106 of theimplant 100 is located on a generally anterior portion ofimplant 100. Thefirst portion 106 has a first convexity sized and shaped to match or substantially match the concavity of the paleoglenoid. Asecond portion 108 of theimplant 100 is located on a generally posterior portion ofimplant 100. Thesecond portion 108 has a second convexity sized and shaped to match or substantially match the concavity of the neoglenoid. The convexity of thefirst portion 106 is different from the convexity of thesecond portion 108. - The different convexities of the
first portion 106 and thesecond portion 108 results in the bone-contactingsurface 104 having a biconvex shape. The biconvex shape is configured to better match the degradation of the glenoid in the case of eccentric glenoid degradation that produces a neoglenoid in addition to the paleoglenoid. In such circumstances, the glenoid does not degrade evenly, thereby forming the neoglenoid and the paleoglenoid as noted above. The neoglenoid is the portion that is worn or degraded such that it becomes a secondary-articular surface formed of cortical-type bone. The portion of the glenoid that is not (or is less significantly) degraded or worn is the paleoglenoid. Thus, the biconvexity of theimplant 100 allows the implant to have better contact with the eccentrically-worn glenoid upon implantation. - The
first portion 106 and thesecond portion 108 meet or intersect at different locations onimplant 100 depending on the degree or severity of degradation found in the native glenoid being replaced. For example, theglenoid implant 100 ofFIGS. 1A-B has a relatively small neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 and a relatively large paleoglenoid component (or first portion) 106 compared to the other embodiments. On the other hand, theglenoid implant 100 ofFIGS. 1E-F has a relatively large neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 and a relatively small paleoglenoid component (or first portion) 106 compared to the other embodiments. Thus, as should be understood, theglenoid implant 100 ofFIGS. 1C-D has a neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 and a paleoglenoid component (or first portion) 106 with a size generally in-between the other two embodiments. The differences in the size and position of the neoglenoid component (or second portion) 108 may generally correspond to an increasing progression in eccentric glenoid degradation, withFIGS. 1A-B corresponding to a relatively early progression of eccentric degradation andFIGS. 1E-F corresponding to a relatively late progression of eccentric degradation. Moreover, thefirst portion 106 and thesecond portion 108 meet at an angle transverse from the anterior-posterior axis of theimplant 100. In the view ofFIGS. 1B, 1D, and 1F , the anterior direction generally corresponds to the left side of the page, while the posterior direction generally corresponds to the right side of the page. In one example, the angle may be about 30 degrees from the anterior-posterior axis such that thefirst portion 106 and thesecond portions 108 intersect at a 30 degree posterior bias of the neoglenoid. In some embodiments, the angle may be about 10 degrees below the anterior-posterior axis. However, it should be understood that such angles are merely exemplary, and unless noted otherwise, other angles, including angles of between about 10 degrees and about 30 degrees may be appropriate. While it is described that thefirst portion 106 andsecond portion 108 meet at an angle, that angle is descriptive of the direction of the line of intersection. The line of intersection between thefirst portion 106 and thesecond portions 108 may be a curved line that follows a typical progression of degradation, which starts posterior to the midline and moves anterior of the midline as the glenoid wears away. Thus, as noted above,FIGS. 1A and 1B depictimplant 100 for instances in which there is a relatively small amount of degradation of the glenoid whereasFIGS. 1E, 1F depictimplant 100 for instances in which there is a relatively large amount of degradation of the glenoid. - As depicted in
FIGS. 1B, 1D, and 1F , the bone-contactingsurface 104 of thesecond portion 108 may be inclined with respect to the bone-contactingsurface 104 of thefirst portion 106. Therefore, the apex of thesecond portion 108 may extend past the apex of the convex bone-contactingsurface 104 of thefirst portion 106. In some embodiments, the angle of inclination a may be about 15 degrees. However, it should be understood that such an angle is merely exemplary, and unless noted otherwise, other angles, including angles of between about 5 degrees and about 30 degrees may be appropriate. -
FIGS. 2A-B depict another embodiment of an augmented glenoid implant. Implant 200 has a medial articulatingsurface 202 and a bone-contactingsurface 204. The bone-contactingsurface 204 has a biconvex shape and may be comprised of two different portions. The implant 200 may include amain body 206 that defines the entire articulatingsurface 202, and a portion of the bone-contactingsurface 204 having a first convexity and intended to contact the paleoglenoid, similar to thefirst portion 106 ofimplant 100. An augment 208 of implant 200 is positioned on the rear ofmain body 206, and has a second convexity sized and shaped to match or substantially match the concavity of the neoglenoid, similar tosecond portion 108 ofimplant 100. The medial surface of themain body 206 in combination with augment 208 creates the complete bone-contactingsurface 204. Themain body 206 may be formed of a biocompatible polymer, such as polyethylene, and augment 208 may be formed of a biocompatible metal, such as titanium, including porous titanium. As noted above, the polymeric material of themain body 206 may help to provide reduced stiffness of the implant 200, while the metal portions, described in greater detail below, may help provide long-term fixation of the implant 200 to the glenoid. - Augment 208 may be a molded inlay. Thus,
main body 206 may be overmolded on augment 208. In other words, themain body 206 may be formed from an injection molding type of process in which the material that will form the main body is placed in a mold (or similar device) in a soft or liquid state and allowed to harden or solidify on the augment 208 to form the desired composite shape. The lateral surface of augment 208 may include a pattern that allows for a better bond or adhesion to the medial surface ofmain body 206, particularly during the molding process. The pattern may be etched into, engraved into, or built into augment 208, for example in the case of additive manufacturing of the augment 208. The pattern may be a waffle pattern or any other mesh type pattern that may enhance the bond between augment 208 andmain body 206. - Augment 208 may include at least one anchor or peg 214 extending from its medial, bone-contacting
surface 204. As shown inFIGS. 2A-B , augment 208 may include twoanchors 214 extending from its medial, bone-contactingsurface 204.Anchors 214 are intended to stabilize the augment against the neoglenoid cortical wall.Anchors 214 may be integral with augment 208 such that augment 208 and pegs 214 are provided as a single piece, for example during additive manufacturing. Thus, anchors 214 may also be formed of biocompatible metal, such as titanium, and may be a porous metal (including porous titanium) to enhance bone ingrowth into augment 208.Anchors 214 may have various shapes. In the illustrated embodiment, anchors include a generally cylindrical body that transitions into a conical or frustoconical tip, but other shapes may be suitable. - One or more pegs or anchors 210, 212 may also extend from the medial or bone-contacting
surface 204 of themain body 206. In the illustrated embodiment, these anchors include acenter anchor 210 and twoperipheral anchors 212, although other numbers and positions of these anchors may be suitable. In the illustrated embodiment, thecenter anchor 210 and theperipheral anchors 212 have a substantially identical shape, although thecenter anchor 210 may be slightly larger than the peripheral anchors 212. However, in other embodiments, thecenter anchor 210 may be a similar size or smaller than one or bothperipheral anchors 212, and in some embodiments thecenter anchor 210 may have a different shape than the peripheral anchors 212. -
FIGS. 2C-D illustrate perspective views ofcenter anchor 210, although it should be understood that the description of thecenter anchor 210 may apply similarly or identically to one or both of the peripheral anchors 212.Center anchor 210 may include abase 220 and a body portion. Similarly,peripheral anchors 212 may each include abase 222 and a body portion.Bases main body 206. Thebases main body 206. In other words, themain body 206 andbases main body 206. The body portions ofanchors anchors anchors anchors anchors anchors -
Center anchor 210 may be located substantially in the center of implant 200, for example a substantially equal distance between the superior and inferior ends of the implant 200, and a substantially equal distance between the anterior and posterior ends of the implant 200. AlthoughFIGS. 2A-B illustratemain body 206 as including twoperipheral anchors 212, it may include oneperipheral anchor 212, three or moreperipheral anchors 212, or in some embodiments, no peripheral anchors 212. Depending on the size of augment 208, the augment 208 may be provided with one or more cutouts or recesses to accommodate thecenter anchor 210 and/or one or more of the peripheral anchors 212. If augment 208 is relatively small, similar to that shown inFIGS. 1A-B , no cutout or recess may be necessary. If augment 208 is relatively large, similar to that shown inFIGS. 1E-F , cutouts or recesses may be included to accommodate thecenter anchor 210 and peripheral anchors 212 (and in particular thecenter base 220 and peripheral bases 222). - Center anchors 210 and
peripheral pegs 212 may each be removably coupled tobases Center anchor 210 may have acoupling member 230 extending from the body portion ofcenter anchor 210. In one embodiment, thecoupling member 230 is a threaded component, andbase 220 may have a complementary threaded aperture for receiving thecoupling member 230 therein. However, in alternative embodiments,coupling member 230 may have a press fit connection, interference fit, or any other suitable connection mechanism withbase 220. Thepolymeric base 220 ofmain body 206 may assist in performing a revision procedure to remove implant 200 during a later procedure. For example, compared to metal components that have had bone ingrowth occur, the polymer material may be relatively easily cut away with a tool, such that the base 220 could be relatively easily cut and removed from the metal augment 208 component and the metal body portion ofcenter anchor 210, with the metal portions being more precisely removed from the bone after the polymer portions of implant 200 are cut away. In this scenario, the amount of bone stock that would need to be removed in a revision procedure may be minimized or otherwise reduced. The above description of thecoupling member 230 andbase 220 ofcenter anchor 210 may apply similarly or identically to the peripheral anchor(s) 212 and corresponding base(s) 222. - Still referring to
FIGS. 2A-D , although thecenter anchor 210 andperipheral anchors 212 are illustrated with male threaded posts while thebases anchors bases anchors bases main body 206 may be molded or otherwise formed from a polymer, with the threaded sockets in thebases anchors bases bases anchors - Referring in particular to
FIGS. 2C-D , additional features may be provided oncenter anchor 210, although it should be understood that the same or similar features may also be provided on the peripheral anchors 212. For example, thecenter anchor 210 may include a plurality of friction-enhancements or texturizations to assist with a user manipulating thecenter anchor 210. In use, thecenter anchor 210 may be manually connected to thebase 220 via rotation to thread thecoupling member 230 into the female socket of thebase 220, either by the end user (e.g. a surgeon), by the manufacturer, or by some third party. However, it may be preferable for the manufacturer to couple thecenter anchor 210 to thebase 220, for example to help ensure that appropriate locking torques and assembly forces are uses. With such manual coupling of thecenter anchor 210 tobase 220, gripping features may be helpful. In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of splines orridges 240 extend in a longitudinal direction of thecenter anchor 210, eachridge 240 being spaced apart from another ridge around the circumference of thecenter anchor 210. The particular number ofridges 240 may be varied as desired, but preferably are numbered and spaced relative to one another to help enhance a user's grip on thecenter anchor 210, particularly during rotation of thecenter anchor 210 during coupling tobase 220. However, even if thecenter anchor 210 is not coupled tobase 220 via manual rotation,ridges 240 may help a tool to drive thecenter anchor 210 intobase 220. For example, a torque-limiting driver may be engaged with (or adapted to actuate against) theridges 240 of thecenter anchor 210 in order to assist with screwing thecenter anchor 210 into thebase 220. In addition, once thecenter anchor 210 is coupled tobase 220, and the implant 200 is implanted into a native glenoid, theridges 240 may assist in preventing thecenter anchor 210 from rotation, which could tend to disconnect or loosen thecenter anchor 210 from thebase 220 of implant 200. For example, after insertion of the implant 200 into the bone, theridges 240 may insert into the bone, with native bone stock being positioned between circumferentiallyadjacent ridges 240, helping to prevent any further rotation of thecenter anchor 210, particularly before long term fixation occurs, for example via bone-ingrowth. It should be understood that theridges 240 may provide additional and/or alternative functionality. For example, theridges 240 may assist in centering thecenter anchor 210 into (and/or providing a press-fit with) a hole drilled in the bone to receive thecenter anchor 210, during and after thecenter anchor 210 is advanced into the corresponding hole in the bone. In some embodiments, theridges 240 are formed of a solid metal, such as solid titanium, while the main body of thecenter anchor 210 is formed of a porous metal, such as porous titanium. - Another additional feature that may be provided on
center anchor 210 iswedges 250. Similar or identical wedges may be provided on one or more of the peripheral anchors 212. Still referring toFIGS. 2C-D ,center anchor 210 may include a substantiallycircular base 260 where the main body of thecenter anchor 210 transitions into connectingmember 230, shown in this embodiment is a threaded post. Thebase 260 ofcenter anchor 210 may be sized and shaped to substantially match thecorresponding base 220 inmain body 206, so that when thecenter anchor 210 is screwed into, or otherwise coupled to, thebase 220 of themain body 206, the outer surface of thebase 220 of themain body 206 is substantially flush with the outer surface of theanchor 210, excludingridges 240.Wedges 250 may be positioned onbase 260 so that, upon coupling ofcenter anchor 210 to thebase 220 ofmain body 206, thewedges 250 confront and eventually contact thebase 220 ofmain body 206. The plurality ofwedges 250 may be provided spaced apart from one another aroundbase 260, so that the threaded post or connectingmember 230 is positioned radially within the plurality ofwedges 250. Eachwedge 250 may have a substantially square or rectangular profile, with a first edge of each wedge positioned at the same level or height asbase 260, with the opposite second edge positioned at a greater height from thebase 260, so that the remaining two sides ofwedge 250 have a substantially triangular shape, forming a traditional wedge shape. With this configuration, the second edge of eachwedge 250 may form a shoulder or abutment at substantially a right angle withbase 260. Eachwedge 250 preferably has the same directionality of incline, and the directionality of that incline is preferably oriented so that, as thecenter anchor 210 is rotated to couple thecenter anchor 210 to thebase 220 of themain body 260, the first edge of thewedges 250 lead in the direction of rotation, while the opposite second edges forming the shoulder or abutment trail in the direction of rotation. With this configuration, ascenter anchor 210 is coupled tobase 220 by rotating thecenter anchor 210 to thread the connectingmember 230 into the corresponding female socket of thebase 220, themetal wedges 250 will begin to dig into thepolymeric base 220, with the first edge leading the digging motion. Once thecenter anchor 210 is fully threaded into thebase 220 and thebase 260 of thecenter anchor 210 is in contact with thebase 220 of themain body 206, the shoulders or abutments defined by the second edges of thewedges 250 provide resistance against unintentional rotation of thecenter anchor 210 in a direction that would tend to unthread the connectingmember 230 from the corresponding female socket ofbase 220. Thus, thewedges 250 may provide an anti-backout or anti-rotation functionality to help maintain the threads of connectingmember 230 secured to thebase 220 of themain body 206. In one embodiment, it may be preferable to form the connectingmember 230 and/or the plurality ofwedges 250 from a solid metal, such as solid titanium. Althoughwedges 250 are one example of an anti-rotation feature, it should be understood that other anti-rotation features with similar functionality may be suitable. Although the various components ofcenter anchor 210 may be formed from any combination of solid and porous metal (including only porous metal, or only solid metal), in one embodiment, the main body ofcenter anchor 210 is formed of a porous metal, such as porous titanium, while theridges 240,wedges 250, and connectingmember 230 are all formed from a solid metal, such as solid titanium. - It may be difficult or impossible to
machine center anchor 210 to have threads on the connectingmember 230,wedges 250 on thebase 260, andridges 240 on the main body ofcenter anchor 210 using traditional subtractive manufacturing or casting. The below discussion applies equally to the peripheral anchors 212. For example, because of the small size of thecenter anchor 210, and the small size and positions ofridges 240,wedges 250, and threads of connecting member 230 (including the existence of small, recessed gap spaces), tools may not effectively be able to access the requires areas to form these features by subtractive manufacturing. This may be especially true for thewedges 250 and the threads of connectingmember 230, due to their positions relative to one another. Thus, it is preferable to form center anchor 210 (and peripheral anchors 212) using additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing. As noted above, it is preferable to form the center anchor 210 (and peripheral anchors 212) from a metal, some or all of which is preferably a porous metal such as porous titanium, to enhance bone ingrowth and long-term fixation of implant 200 into the glenoid. In one embodiment, laser rapid manufacturing (LRM) techniques may be used to form the desired geometry of the porous metal, such as porous titanium, forming thecenter anchor 210. Casting and subtractive manufacturing methods may be unable to provide the desired porous metal ingrowth surfaces. - According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing prosthetic glenoid implant 200 may include first forming augment 208 having a first convexity adapted to substantially match a neoglenoid surface of a patient's native glenoid. The augment 208 may be formed of metal, including titanium, including porous titanium, via any suitable method, including additive manufacturing. The
main body 206 may be overmolded onto the augment 208, and themain body 206 may be formed of a polymer, such as polyethylene. Themain body 206 may be molded so that a medial surface includes a second convexity adapted to substantially match a paleoglenoid surface of a patient's native glenoid, and so that a lateral surface has a concavity or other suitable shape adapted to articular with a native or prosthetic humeral head of the patient. The one ormore bases bases central anchor 210 andperipheral anchors 212 may be configured to self-tap into the smooth hole. Before, during, or after forming the augment 208 and/or themain body 206, thecenter anchor 210 and one or moreperipheral anchors 212 may be formed by additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing, preferably using a metal such as titanium, including porous titanium. The manufacturer, an end user, or some third party may couple each of thecenter anchor 210 andperipheral anchors 212 to thecorresponding bases - According an embodiment, a method of implanting glenoid implant 200 into a native glenoid of a patient may include first preparing the native glenoid, for example by remaining or otherwise preparing the paleoglenoid surface and the neoglenoid surface for implantation of implant 200. The
central anchor 210 andperipheral anchors 212 may be coupled to themain body 206 of implant 200 at any time prior to implanting the glenoid implant 200 on to the glenoid. If desired, one or more holes may be created in the native glenoid to receive any one or more ofcentral anchor 210,peripheral anchors 212, and anchors 214. The glenoid implant 200 may be driven into the native glenoid using any suitable method, including via impaction, to drive the various anchors into the bone. Upon drivingcentral anchor 210 andperipheral anchors 212 into the glenoid, as noted above,ridges 240 may help prevent unintentional rotation of the anchors by friction with the bone, whilewedges 250 may help prevent unintentional rotation of the anchors by friction with thepolymeric bases main body 206 of glenoid implant 200. It should be understood that this method may be performed without using any bone cement or other similar adhesives to couple the glenoid implant 200 to the glenoid. However, bone cement may be used if desired, for example by placing a small amount of bone cement in holes in the glenoid formed to receive the various anchors. - Although glenoid implant 200 is described as including a biconvex medial surface for implantation onto a glenoid with eccentric glenoid erosion, it should be understood that the implant 200 is not so limited. For example, glenoid implant 200 may instead be formed as a glenoid implant for use in a patient without eccentric glenoid erosion, so that the medial bone-contacting surface of the glenoid has substantially only one convexity. In this scenario, the augment 208 and anchors 214 may be omitted, with the entire medial bone-contacting surface of the glenoid implant being formed by the main body. In this scenario, the
anchors 214 may be replaced by anchors similar toperipheral anchors 212, and thus the main body of the glenoid implant may include additional bases to receive the additional peripheral anchors. - Although the invention herein has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it is to be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and applications of the present invention. It is therefore to be understood that numerous modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments and that other arrangements may be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
