Arthroplasty Shoulder

Product

Procedure

The Univers Apex system represents the evolution of Arthrex total shoulder arthroplasty systems. While maintaining all of the in situ variable adjustment capabilities of the Univers II total shoulder system (inclination, version, head offset), the Apex introduces advanced features important in the treatment of all total shoulder patients. The reduced diaphyseal stem length, rectangular stem body, and removable trunnion optimize stem removal and therefore revisability. In addition, strategically incorporated suture holes allow for unique subscapularis repair options. The system is compatible with Univers VaultLock®, pegged, and keeled glenoid systems, the Univeral Glenoid™ convertible baseplate with polyethelene inlays as well as with the Univers II humeral head options. In keeping with the Arthrex focus on intraoperative adaptability, the Apex restores normal patient glenohumeral anatomy in a stable, press-fit solution while allowing for bone-conserving stem revision.

Univers™ Apex Total Shoulder System

Child (D)

The Univers II humeral component was designed to account for anatomical variations of the proximal humerus commonly encountered by the surgeon. Variable adjustment with respect to the inclination angle, version and head offset are features critical to reconstruction of the proximal humerus. The simplified design of the Univers II humeral component allows for the adaptation of the humeral stem and articular surface to the position that best represents the patient’s normal anatomy. All of the adjustments can be made intraoperatively with the implant in the humeral canal. This unique feature allows the surgeon to more accurately recreate the normal anatomical relationships of the shoulder joint.

The simplified design of the Univers II humeral component enables for adapting the humeral stem and articular surface to the position that best represents the patient’s normal anatomy. Implant adjustments can be made intraoperatively within the humeral canal. This unique feature allows more accurate recreation of the normal anatomical relationships of the shoulder joint. With anatomic restoration of the humerus and glenoid, soft-tissue balancing of the rotator cuff is more accurate, allowing for improved functional outcome.1
