1. A glenoid implant system comprising:
a main body defining an articulating surface configured to articulate with a humeral head, and an opposite bone-contacting surface adapted to contact the glenoid of a patient and defining a periphery of the main body, the main body being formed from a polymer material;
a base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body; and
an anchor having a main section and an anti-rotation feature disposed on a base of the anchor, the anti-rotation feature adapted to contact the base formed in the bone-contacting surface of the main body when the anchor is coupled to the base; and
an augment portion positioned on the main body, formed separately from the main body, and formed from a metal material, the augment portion having a bone-contacting surface defining a first convexity adapted to contact a neoglenoid portion of the glenoid, the bone-contacting surface of the main body having a second convexity adapted to contact a paleoglenoid portion of the glenoid, the first convexity being different than the second convexity,
wherein the main body portion is overmolded on the augment portion, and
wherein the bone-contacting surface of augment portion and bone-contacting surface of the main body portion intersect at an interface, the interface extending from a first location at the periphery of the main body to a second location remote from the first location.
