Clinical Challenge
Patients presenting with an
irreparable, rotator cuff deficient
shoulder joint with severe arthropathy
typically show evidence of an
upward displacement of the
humeral head with respect to the
glenoid and a loss of glenohumeral
joint space. Unfortunately, the
functional outcomes using conventional
surgical methods are severely limited
and typically fail.
Clinical Solution
The Reverse® Shoulder
Prosthesis is a semiconstrained
design concept
that reverses the shoulder
anatomy by lateralizing the
shoulder joint to effectively
resist the superior pull of the
deltoid muscle and optimize
soft tissue balancing.
Indications
Grossly rotator cuff deficient shoulder joint with severe arthopathy;
A previously failed joint replacement with a grossly rotator cuff deficient shoulder joint;
Evidence of upward displacement of the humeral head with respect to the glenoid;
Loss of glenohumeral joint space;
