Abstract

An apparatus including a prosthetic glenoid component for use in shoulder arthroplasty for articulation with a humeral head. The prosthetic glenoid component includes a bearing body, which is shaped so as to define (a) a concave bearing surface for articulation with the humeral head, and (b) a convex glenoid-contacting surface; and one or more superior cantilevers, which (a) jut out from a periphery of the bearing body, (b) are more flexible than the bearing body, and (c) resist, without preventing, superior migration of the humeral head. In shoulder arthroplasty, providing a prosthetic glenoid component for articulation with a humeral head, and implanting the prosthetic glenoid component such that the convex glenoid-contacting surface contacts a glenoid cavity, and the one or more superior cantilevers resist, without preventing, superior migration of the humeral head.
