Abstract
A medical implant for a human shoulder joint includes a first magnetic implant fixed to the non-articular surface of the greater tuberosity of the human shoulder joint, and a second magnetic implant fixed to an outer surface and underside of the acromion of the human shoulder joint. At least one of the first and second magnetic implants generates a magnetic field that urges the first and second magnetic implants away from each other and thereby distracts the humeral head of the human shoulder joint from the acromion.
