A shoulder implant system includes a humeral stem implant, a humeral neck implant component, a humeral head implant component, and a glenoid implant. The humeral stem implant has a fin coupled to an exterior surface thereof that is inwardly tapered at an angle relative to vertical. At least a portion of the fin forms a wedge that directly engages and compacts cancellous bone during installation of the humeral stem implant. The humeral neck implant component is configured to be coupled with the humeral stem implant. The humeral head implant component is configured to be coupled to the humeral stem implant via the humeral neck implant component. The glenoid implant has a plurality of peripheral pegs. Each of the peripheral pegs has a plurality of sets of resilient lobes.

Shoulder implant components

A method and apparatus for proper sizing and centralization of a shoulder humerus implant are provided. The method and apparatus replicate the proper stem height and position for a shoulder humerus implant, and may be used during trialing and maintaining the proper height and orientation during implantation. The apparatus further assists in maintaining the shoulder humerus implant stem at the center of the humeral canal to allow for proper cementing technique, and facilitates selection of the appropriate humeral head replacement.
