Univers™ Apex Surgical Technique

In this animation, we will show a shoulder replacement surgery due to arthritis using the Universe Apex total shoulder system. The shoulder joint or ball and socket joint is made up of two bones the humerus or arm bone, and the glenoid or socket. In shoulder arthritis, the cartilage on the end of the bones slowly wears away, causing pain and irritation, making daily activities difficult. First, your surgeon removes the damaged parts of the bone and prepares the two bones for the implants. Starting with the humerus and followed by the glenoid. Next, your surgeon will secure the plastic glenoid implant into place using bone cement. Then your surgeon will place the final implant into the humerus. A metal ball is used to replace the damaged bone. Sutures are used to repair the surrounding tendons. This completes shoulder replacement surgery with the universe apex.
