Prepare tuberosities for later fixation
Determine stem height and select trial head
Open medullary canal and determine retrotorsion
– Pass stay-sutures through the subscapularis, supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons – Pass two 1.0 mm cables through drill holes in the greater tuberosity
– Measure the medial metaphyseal extension on the retrieved head – Use the measurement to determine prosthetic height – Determine head size
– Open the medullary canal and insert rasps of increasing size until self-locking is obtained – The shaft will generally self-rotate – Median retrotorsion is 25°
– The distance between the deepest point in the bicipital groove and the center etch of the rasp should be approximately 8 mm
