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 13):
A system configured for arthroscopic resection of a humeral head and of a glenoid fossa of a should joint and replacement with an implant, the system comprising:\n a stemless humeral head component; a glenoid component comprising a base plate and articular insert; one or more cannulated reamers; a cannulated sliding sleeve; a mechanical center locating device; one or more outriggers; reciprocating mini saw blades; and a central recess boring reamer, wherein said one or more outriggers and said mechanical center locating device are secured to a sliding sleeve, wherein the stemless humeral head component comprises a cylindrical metallic portion with flat surface at one end to be introduced into said stemless humeral head component and a metallic tapered peg portion at the opposite end comprising a threaded recess, said metallic tapered peg having a thin circular flange between said cylindrical metallic portion and said metallic tapered peg partition, said metallic tapered peg extends away from said flat surface, wherein said threaded recess is configured to receive a threaded used with an outrigger during the insertion and the compression of said metallic tapered peg into the bony recess of the humerus; and, said outrigger is configured to apply compression of the metallic humeral component into a central humeral recess wherein said outrigger is secured to a cannulated sliding sleeve configured to be pushed through a lateral stab wound to abut a lateral cortex of the humerus further wherein; said threaded rod further comprises a compression knob at an opposite end of the threaded rod configured to provide compression of the metallic humeral component into the central recess of the humerus.
