Gelenkpfanne Explanation: The humeral component is made of metal. The glenoid component is usually made up of two parts - a metal tray that is attached directly to the bone and a plastic cup that provides the bearing surface. The plastic used is very tough and very slick - (so slick and tough that you can ice skate on a sheet of the plastic with out much damage to the material). [...] Each prosthesis is made up of two parts: - The humeral component is the portion of the artificial joint that replaces the ball on top of the upper arm bone - the humerus. - The glenoid component replaces the socket of the shoulder that actually is part of the scapula.
