Abstract
A humeral implant system, for example, includes an implant and a cutting guide system. The implant is a spherical wedge having an elongated curved upper surface having a first edge and a spaced apart second edge, a first surface having a curved upper edge joined to the first edge of the elongated curved upper surface, and a second surface having a curved upper edge joined to the second edge of the elongated curved upper surface. A lower edge of the first surface is joined to a lower edge of the second surface. The first surface and the second surface are disposed at an angle. The cutting system has a body having a first guide and a second guide for resecting a cutout in a humeral head, in which the cutout has a first surface and a second surface corresponding to the first surface and the second surface of the implant.
