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 12):
The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the peg and the baseplate are two separated pieces; the baseplate having a lug adapted to be inserted into an internal cavity of the peg; the baseplate having a baseplate passage extending through the lug; the impactor stem having a impactor stem guide passage therethrough and the impactor head having a impactor head guide passage therethrough; the impactor stem guide passage and the impactor head guide passage being in communication when the impactor head is mounted to the impactor stem free end; before providing an impactor, the method further comprises partially inserting the lug into the peg; and before the step of fitting the peg into the peg hole, the method comprises:\n providing a tightening rod having a rod threaded end and a rod coupling end; inserting the rod threaded end through the impactor stem guide passage, the impactor head guide passage and the baseplate passage; threading the rod threaded end into an internal thread of the internal cavity of the peg leaving the rod coupling end outside of the impactor stem; providing a torque wrench mounted to the rod coupling end; fitting the lug of the baseplate into the peg tightening the rod threaded end of the tightening rod into the peg; wherein the tightening of the rod threaded end is achieved applying a torque to the rod coupling end with the torque wrench using the impactor has counter torque.
