Embodiments of devices, apparatuses, kits, and methods for repairing a human joint by suturing biological tissue to the articular surface of a bone at the joint (e.g., repairing defects in the humerus at the glenoid joint after an anterior shoulder dislocation) are described herein. Biological tissue may include hard tissue such as bone or a joint socket or soft tissue such as cartilage, ligaments, tendons, or muscle tissue.

A method of resurfacing a glenoid according to an according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes resurfacing a first section of a glenoid surface with and implant while leaving a second section of the glenoid surface uncovered by the implant.

A glenoid implant is provided and may include a body portion and a stem portion. The stem portion may extend from the body portion along a longitudinal axis. The body portion may include an articular side and a bone-engaging side opposite the articular side. At least a portion of the bone-engaging side may be disposed at a non-parallel angle relative to at least a peripheral edge of the articulation side.

Augmentation material having a wire and, in axial alignment along the wire, a plurality of groups of axially adjacent connecting elements that extend radially from the wire, wherein the connecting elements are designed such that, when a first group from the plurality of groups is pressed together with a further group from the plurality of groups, the connecting element of the two groups can be connected to one another in a positive-locking and/or friction-locking manner.

An orthopaedic joint replacement system is shown and described. The system includes a number of prosthetic components configured to be implanted into a patient's knee. The system also includes a number of surgical instruments configured for use in preparing the bones of the patient's knee to receive the implants. A method or technique for using the surgical instruments to prepare the bones is also disclosed.
