Augmented glenoid workshop Zimmet biomet reverse shoulder

The Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder System Augmented Baseplate is designed to address glenoid bone deficiencies commonly encountered in reverse shoulder arthroplasty, particularly in patients with osteoarthritis and associated rotator cuff arthropathy. Up to 50% of these patients present with bone erosion that necessitates reconstruction for successful shoulder arthroplasty. Key Features: Versatile Augmentation: The circular baseplate allows placement of the augment in any orientation, providing flexibility to address various patterns of glenoid bone wear. Bone Preservation: In cases with minimal bone loss, the augmented baseplate facilitates less bone removal and preserves cortical bone, aiding in the restoration of the glenoid's natural anatomy. Simplified Surgical Technique: The system introduces only three additional steps to standard glenoid preparation, streamlining the surgical process. Enhanced Fixation: Features such as a modular 6.5 mm central compression screw and a central boss are designed to enhance stability and distribute shear loads effectively. By offering a reproducible method to restore the glenoid, the Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder System Augmented Baseplate aims to achieve stable and successful outcomes in reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
