Foundation Shoulder Fracture System

The Foundation^® Shoulder Fracture System's modular trials establish a stable trial reduction without the use of an external jig simultaneously determining canal size, stem height, and stem version all in one simple step.

Establishing proper head height in relation to the glenoid is critical to the outcome of arthroplasty for fractures of the proximal humerus. A prosthesis placed too high or too low will cause excessive forces on the glenoid and rotator cuff. The challenge has been how to determine the proper height when the final implant is cemented. The Foundation Shoulder Fracture System provides an easy answer for this challenge.

• Markings are present on the trial bodies so that height can be reproduced independent to the stem sizing.
• Prosthesis holes for suture attachment are available anterior, posterior, medial and lateral.
• Anterior fin allows for anatomical reconstruction of the tuberosities.
• A guide to ensure proper restoration of head to tuberosity height.
