摘要：
Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and methodfor reverse shoulder arthroplasty (e.g., reverse total shoulder arthroplasty).In one specific example, a glenoid component used to resurface the scapula maybe provided. Of note, unlike traditional total shoulder arthroplasty the glenoidcomponent in a reverse shoulder is convex rather than concave； it acts as a physicalstop to prevent the superior migration of the humeral head - a typical occurrencein patients suffering from rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA).
