Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for surgical application of a glenoid anchor of a shoulder joint prosthesis and instruments advantageously used in the method. The method includes making a delto-pectoral incision providing a delto-pectoral access to a shoulder joint; with the delto-pectoral access being suitable for inserting at least one machining tool; and making a trans-deltoid incision providing a trans-deltoid access to the humeral head; with the trans-deltoid access being suitable for inserting a stem of a machining instrument to be mounted on the machining tool for machining the glenoid cavity.

Claim (Index 2):
The method according to  claim 1  further comprising:\n exposing the humeral head dislocating the humerus by means of an externally rotation of the arm; \n making a through trans-humeral hole into the humeral head extending in medio-lateral direction; \n returning the humeral head facing the glenoid cavity; \u2014providing a retractor instrument introduced through the delto-pectoral access for keeping a predetermined glenohumeral clearance between the humeral head and the glenoid cavity; the retractor instrument having an abutting element at least partially abutting against the humeral head and the shoulder blade keeping free the trans-humeral hole and the glenoid cavity; \n providing the machining tool in the glenohumeral clearance introduced through the delto-pectoral access; \n introducing the stem of a machining instrument through the trans-deltoid access and then the trans-humeral hole until a stem free end of the stem reaches the glenohumeral clearance; \n mounting the machining tool on the stem free end for machining the glenoid cavity.
