Abstract
Methods of implanting a prosthesis to repair a joint include exposing a first bone of the joint; resecting an end portion of the first bone to form a resected end defining a resection plane; forming a concavity in the resected end portion of the first bone using a shaping tool, the concavity extending at least through a full hemispherical arc; selecting a diameter of the prosthesis to be implanted; and implanting a prosthesis having the selected diameter in the concavity.
