What is it indicated for?

The Arthrex Univers II Shoulder Prosthesis is indicated in replacements(s) when conditions include severe pain or significant disability resulting from degenerative, rheumatoid, traumatic disease, or injury of the glenohumeral joint; non-union humeral head fractures of long duration; irreducible 2- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures; avascular necrosis of the humeral head; or, other difficult clinical management problems where arthrodesis or resectional arthroplasty is not acceptable.

The glenoid components are designed for cemented fixation in the joint and must only be used with an appropriate bone cement.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
