Read the full statement (142 words)
The Catalyst R1 Reverse Shoulder System is a reverse total shoulder replacement for patients with a functional deltoid muscle and a grossly deficient rotator cuff joint suffering from pain and dysfunction due to:
= Severe arthropathy with a grossly deficient rotator cuff;
* Previously failed joint replacement with a grossly deficient rotator cuff;
* Fracture of glenohumeral joint from trauma or pathologic conditions of the shoulder including humeral head fracture, displaced 3- or 4-part fractures of proximal humerus, or reconstruction after tumor resection;
* Bone defect in proximal humerus;
* Non-inflammatory degenerative disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis of the natural humeral head and/ or glenoid,
* Inflammatory arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis;
= Correction of functional deformity
The humeral stems are intended for cemented or uncemented applications.
The glenoid baseplate is intended for uncemented use with the addition of screws for fixation.
