Proper Positioning
Ideally position the retractor tip at a 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock position depending on addressing a right or left shoulder reconstruction respectively.
Position the retractor tip curved dome 50/50 on the glenoid neck and lip, creating a reliable fixation and a two-point leverage off of the humeral cut plane/protective plate pulls the glenoid inferior and positions the retractor for optimized exposure, access and implantation.
