What is it indicated for?
The Titan™ Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for use in a grossly deficient rotator cuff joint with severe arthropathy or a previous failed joint replacement with a grossly deficient rotator cuff joint. The patient’s joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive the selected implants and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device.
The glenoid base plate is intended for cementless application with the addition of screws for fixation.
The humeral stem is indicated for cemented or uncemented use and the humeral body component is intended for cementless use.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
