Abstract
The prosthesis has a blade with a roof-ridge shaped shoulder at the proximal end adjacent to the neck. In addition, a bore is disposed in the shoulder on a medial plane so that a hook-shaped instrument can be inserted in to the bore from a direction of the neck. Movement and alignment of the blade via the insertion instrument is performed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the blade.
