Univers Revers^™ Surgical Technique

The Arthrex reverse shoulder platform is a modern inlay system that incorporates key design elements to facilitate improved stability and impingement-free range of motion while reducing intraoperative and postoperative complications.¹

A wide array of humeral stems is offered, including bone-sparing short stems for simplified implant insertion and removal. Paired with the SutureCup, the humeral construct features a 135° or 155° humeral inclination angle for optimal biomechanics. In a fracture setting, the 135° humeral cup orientation promotes anatomic tuberosity restoration while numerous suture eyelets allow for reproducible and reliable osteosynthesis, all resulting in improved range of motion.²

Two unique glenoid systems provide surgeons with unrivaled flexibility and adaptability. Incremental lateralization options up to 8 mm, vault fixation via central ingrowth screw or post, and an industry-leading scope of half- and full-wedge augments lead the way to effectively treating various types of glenoid pathology.
