The method includes making an incision into a shoulder area of a patient and passing a cutting instrument through a rotator cuff interval of the patient. A central portion of the native humeral head is resected and removed so that a central void remains. The same or another cutting instrument is inserted through the rotator cuff interval and into the central void. Medial and lateral portions of the native humeral head adjacent the central void are resected and removed. A base of a prosthesis is implanted into a proximal portion of the humerus after passing the base through the rotator cuff interval, and two humeral head portions may be inserted through the rotator cuff interval and coupled to the base and to one another. The disclosure also extends to a prosthetic stemless shoulder implant. FIG. 10 for publication10/12 70 30 40 150a 22 20 20 150b 10 10 50 FIG.10
