The Veritas Reverse Total Shoulder System standard components are indicated for primary, fracture and revision total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability due to gross rotator cuff deficiency. The system's patient specific components are only indicated for primary total shoulder replacement.
Glenoid components with porous surface are indicated for uncemented application with the addition of screw fixation.
Humeral components with porous surface are indicated for either cemented or uncemented applications.
