Abstract
Disclosed is a wedge for use during a reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The wedge can comprise a body having a proximal surface and a distal surface. The proximal surface and the distal surface can each extend from a distal end of the body to a proximal end of the body. The distal end can have a distal length and the proximal end can have a proximal length. The distal length can be shorter than the proximal length. The proximal surface can have a proximal curvature and the distal surface can have a distal curvature. The proximal curvature or the distal curvature can approximate a curvature of a deltoid muscle.
