A glenoid prosthesis and method for affixing the same. The glenoid prosthesis has a lateral surface for articulating with a humeral head and a flat medial surface which engages a flat resected surface on the scapula head. In a first embodiment, an integral plastic prosthesis has a pair of pegs extending from a flat medial surface which are positioned in a pair of holes drilled in the bone. The mating flat surfaces and pegs and holes are bonded with cement. The flat mating surfaces resist rocking under applied superior-inferior loading and resection is simplified by providing a flat resected surface and holes drilled substantially perpendicular thereto. Grooves are provided in the pegs to provide an increased area for bonding and the grooves are of graduated depth to provide greater strength at the proximal end of the pegs where the highest stresses occur. In a second embodiment, the glenoid component consists of a metal base and plastic insert, wherein snap-fit locking means are provided for intra-operatively attaching the insert to the base. A central boss and screw fixation of the base to the bone provides stability and allows reconstruction with bone grafts.

A glenoid prosthesis and method for affixing the same to a resected portion of a glenoid cavity on the head of the scapula. Th glenoid prosthesis has a lateral surface for articulating with the humeral head and a flat medial surface which engages a flat surface resected from the glenoid cavity. In a first embodiment, a pair of pegs extend medially from the flat medial surface of the glenoid prosthesis which are positioned in a pair of holes and the mating flat surfaces and pegs and holes are bonded with cement. The flat mating surfaces resist rocking under applied superior-inferior loading. Resection of the bone is simplified by providing a flat resected surface and holes drilled substantially perpendicular thereto. Preferably, grooves are provided in the pegs to provide an increased area for bonding, and preferably the grooves are graduated in depth to provide greater strength at the proximal end of the pegs where the highest stresses occur. In a second embodiment, the glenoid component consists of a metal base and plastic insert, wherein snap-fit locking means are provided for attaching the insert to the base and a central boss and screw fixation of the base to the bone provides stability and allows reconstruction with bone grafts.

A water therapy system, including a therapy chair with a tiltable backrest portion, and a foot tub, including a water bucket and an inclined ramp, such that a patient can be lying in the therapy chair with lower legs and feet extended into the water bucket, such that an inclination angle of the inclined ramp ensures a comfortable seating position. Also disclosed is an inclined ramp for holding a water bucket for use in reflexology therapy, including an inclined surface and a base, such that the inclined surface is configured to hold a water bucket.

The hybrid paintbrush is a paintbrush with characteristics ideal for trim work. The hybrid cross-sectional shape creates a narrow trailing edge, resulting in a fine line for working close to corners and other edges. The wide leading edge acts as a storage location for paint due to its large quantity of bristles. The synergistic result is a paintbrush that has the narrow trailing line of a trim brush, but with the paint-carrying capacity of a larger brush. This allows the novice, who lacks the ability to control the large number of bristles in a larger brush, to effectively cut in a room in a short period of time, minimizing the quantity of times he must reload the brush with paint, or wipe off areas unintentionally painted.
