Abstract
A shoulder arthroplasty kit includes a combination sizer and guide device with a base portion including a rim configured to be positioned against a resected surface of a humerus. A cavity which is configured to receive a mounting portion of a humeral base component extends proximally from the base portion, the cavity. The combination sizer and guide device includes a convex outer surface which replicates at least a part of an outer bearing surface of a humeral head component. A bore which is perpendicular to the distal plane extends between the cavity and the convex outer surface. The kit further includes a guide pin with a maximum diameter sized to fit within the bore such that the guide pin is guided by the bore during insertion of the guide pin into the resected surface of the humerus.
