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 10):
A system for guiding a reciprocating mini saw during a humeral head cutting process comprising:\n an external humeral cutting guide having a guiding slot tilted between 45\u00b0 and 55\u00b0 for guiding the reciprocating mini saw during said humeral head cutting process, said external humeral cutting guide further secured by a pin inserted to the humeral bone under direct arthroscopic control, wherein external humeral cutting guide further comprises a centralizing mechanical device using palpable bony landmarks such as the medial and lateral epicondyles and olecranon process.
