Read the full statement (131 words)

Prosthetic replacement with this device may be indicated for the treatment of severe pain or

significant disability in degenerative, rheumatoid, or traumatic disease of the glenohumeral joint;

un-united humeral head fractures of long duration; irreducible 3- 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 assembled humeral component

may be used alone for hemiarthroplasty or combined with the glenoid component for total shoulder

arthroplasty. Humeral heads with heights greater than 27 mm may be used for difficult clinical

management problems involving rotator cuff deficiency where arthrodesis or conventional non-constrained arthroplasty is not acceptable. In the USA, the device must be cemented under the base

(see surgical technique for details) or fully cemented in place.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
