Implant selection depends on anatomy, pathology, and surgical objectives.
Common options include:
● Total shoulder replacement systems;
● Reverse shoulder implants;
● Shoulder hemiarthroplasty implants;
● Revision shoulder systems;
● Anatomical shoulder prostheses;
● Modular implant systems.
Each solution is designed to address specific clinical conditions.
Shoulder replacement may be indicated for a variety of disorders.
Common indications include:
● Shoulder osteoarthritis;
● Rheumatoid arthritis;
● Complex proximal humerus fractures;
● Avascular necrosis;
● Post-traumatic joint degeneration;
● Rotator cuff arthropathy;
● Failed previous shoulder procedures.
Early surgical intervention often helps preserve function and improve long-term outcomes.
Implant selection should be tailored to each patient's clinical situation.
