Abstract
A method of making a glenoid component for shoulder arthroplasty includes obtaining a model of a glenoid vault morphology normalized from a population of a plurality of scapulae, the model being defined by a plurality of mutually parallel, triangular cross-sections, and producing a stem portion of the glenoid component based on the model.
