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.

Method for surgical application of a glenoid prosthesis component of a shoulder joint prosthesis and relating surgical instruments
