摘要：
#$%^&*AU2013216664A120130905.pdf#####ABSTRACT Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (e.g., reverse total shoulder arthroplasty). In one specific example, a glenoid component used to resurface the scapula may be provided. Of note, unlike traditional total shoulder arthroplasty the glenoid component in a reverse shoulder is convex rather than concave it acts as a physical stop to prevent the superior migration of the humeral head - a typical occurrence in patients suffering from rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA).
