Read the full statement (188 words)
Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Products are indicated for use in patients whose shoulder joint has a grossly deficient rotator cuff with severe arthropathy and/or previously failed shoulder joint replacement with a grossly deficient rotator cuff. The patient must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive the implants and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary.
The Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Products is indicated for primary, fracture, or revision reverse total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability due to gross rotator cuff deficiency.
Titanium glenospheres are intended for patients with Cobalt Alloy material sensitivity. The wear of these devices has not been tested but, based on pin on disk testing, the wear rate is inferior to that of cobalt alloy glenospheres. A Cobalt Alloy glenosphere is the recommended component for reverse shoulder arthroplasty for patients without material sensitivity to cobalt alloy.
Glenoid components with Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating applied over the Ti6Al4V coating are indicated only for uncemented applications. The Glenoid Baseplate components are intended for cementless application with the addition of screw fixation.
Humeral stem components are indicated for either cemented or uncemented biological fixation applications.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
