Shoulder glenoid fossa prostheses are prefabricated implants designed to replace or restore the glenoid cavity in the shoulder joint, often used in total shoulder arthroplasty. These cup-shaped devices help restore stability and function after conditions like arthritis, fractures, or degenerative joint disease damage the natural glenoid surface.
These devices are typically regulated as implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are generally prefabricated rather than custom-made, meaning they come in standardized sizes to fit most patients, though some may include fixation hardware for secure attachment to the scapula.
