A glenoid orthopaedic reamer is a surgical tool used during shoulder arthroplasty to precisely shape and prepare the glenoid fossa—the socket portion of the shoulder joint—so it can properly fit a prosthetic component. It removes damaged cartilage and bone while ensuring a stable base for the implant, improving long-term joint function and reducing wear over time.
These devices are typically reusable, requiring sterilization between uses, and are classified based on their design and risk profile. They are supplied as part of shoulder replacement systems or as standalone instruments, often with interchangeable heads to accommodate different patient anatomies.
