of the hemispherical head 18 and the glenoid component 24 can be achieved using the method of the invention in one non limiting example method of the invention eleven measurements are obtained using ct slices the eleven measurements are as follows 1 glenoid version 2 anterior posterior ap diameter at the articular surface 3 anterior posterior width at a neutral face plate 4 depth of the glenoid vault from a neutral face plate 5 depth of the glenoid vault from a neutral face plate with a diameter of the center post an example center post diameter being five millimeters 6 superior inferior glenoid height 7 determination of the anterior posterior width fourteen millimeters from the inferior border of the glenoid 8 humeral head diameter 9 humeral head thickness 10 greater tuberosity length of the humerus 11 greater tuberosity width of the humerus and 12 humeral inclination various combinations of these measurements are used for manufacturing a prosthetic component for replacing a part of a bone of a joint in a subject e g mammal the prosthetic component may be formed from for example i a metal or metal alloy such as a titanium alloy e g titanium 6 aluminum 4 vanadium a cobalt alloy a stainless steel alloy or tantalum ii a nonresorbable ceramic such as aluminum oxide or zirconia iii a nonresorbable polymeric material such as polyethylene or iv a nonresorbable.
