US Patent 11957566 Implants and methods for shoulder joint reconstruction

A method of implanting a graft onto a proximal humerus includes securing a first suture anchor to a first portion of the proximal humerus and securing a second suture anchor to a second portion of the proximal humerus. The first suture anchor includes a first suture and the second suture anchor includes a second suture. The graft is inserted over the proximal humerus. The method further includes positioning the graft relative to the proximal humerus such that a lateral portion of the graft is oriented over a greater tuberosity of the proximal humerus and a medial portion of the graft is oriented over the medial greater tuberosity. The graft is secured to the proximal humerus via the first suture member and the second suture member. The method may also include securing the graft anteriorly to the subscapularis and/or posteriorly to the infraspinatus.
