## Indications for use
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 Titan Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for primary, fractures including proximal humeral, or revision total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability due to gross rotator cuff deficiency. 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.
