Abstract:
A novel method and instrumentation for insertion of humeral and glenoid total shoulder implant using arthroscopic visualization for bony preparation as well as insertion of components through small incisions. Mini instruments and cannulated guides and reamers are used in order to perform the procedure under direct arthroscopic visualization. For ease of insertion, the components are inserted separately and assembled in situ. Securing the humeral components in place is accomplished with bicortical screw transfixing the central peg of component.

Claim (Index 1):
A system configured for arthroscopically resecting a humeral head and glenoid fossa of a should joint and replacing it with an implant, the system comprising:\n a stemless humeral head component affixable to a cylindrical metallic portion having a metallic tapered peg having a threaded recess; a glenoid component comprising a base plate and articular insert; one or more cannulated reamers; one or more outriggers; a mechanical center locating device configured to be positioned against a flat surface of the humerus, the device comprising two claws attached to a spring which urges the claws together, and an attachment channel configured to be removably affixed to an end of an outrigger, another end of the outrigger having a hole for receiving a guide wire; a cannulated sliding sleeve containing a threaded rod having an end engageable with the threaded recess of the metallic tapered peg, the cannulated sliding sleeve removably affixable to an outrigger, and a central recess boring reamer.
