1. A glenoid implant, comprising:
a body defining an articular surface and a bone-engaging surface opposite the articular surface, the bone-engaging surface defining only a single groove that separates a first section of the bone-engaging surface from a second section of the bone-engaging surface, the groove extending to a peripheral edge of the bone-engaging surface; and
a plurality of fixation pegs extending from the bone-engaging surface,
wherein:
a fixation peg of the plurality of fixation pegs extends along a central axis;
the fixation peg includes a cylindrical peg body that extends along the central axis;
the fixation peg further includes a plurality of fixation elements that each protrude radially from the cylindrical peg body; and
the central axis is a three-fold axis of rotational symmetry for each fixation element of the plurality of fixation elements.
