Abstract
A glenoid component includes a laterally facing bearing surface configured to engage a bearing surface of an element associated with a humerus, and a stem portion extending medially away from the bearing surface. The stem portion is configured such that when implanted in a scapula the stem portion includes three cross-sections parallel to a medial lateral plane. The middle cross-section has a length in the medial-lateral direction which is shorter than the lengths of the other two cross-sections in the medial lateral direction.
