Abstract
According to one aspect of the disclosure, a glenoid implant for replacing a native glenoid includes an articulating surface configured to articulate with respect to a humeral head. A bone-facing surface may be opposite the articulating surface, the bone-facing surface having a first area configured to contact a paleoglenoid of the native glenoid. An augment portion may be coupled to the bone-facing surface, the augment portion being configured to contact a neoglenoid of the native glenoid. The augment portion may be transitionable between a first configuration in which the augment portion has a first convexity and a second configuration in which the augment portion has a second convexity different than the first convexity.
