Abstract
A selection system comprises a ring, a plurality of shims, a measurement device, and at least one glenoid component. The ring is configured to couple to a humerus. A shim of the plurality of shims is configured to couple to the ring. The measurement device is configured to couple to the shim. Each shim of the plurality of shims has a different height when coupled to the ring. The selection system generates measurement data to support the selection of at least one prosthetic component for a shoulder joint in a surgical environment. The shoulder joint geometry can be adjusted by changing shims, changing glenoid component or both. The selection system is removed after the selection of the final prosthetic components for the shoulder joint. The final prosthetic components are installed in the shoulder joint. The measurement device is placed in the shoulder joint and measurement data is generated to verify performance.
