Evolution Meets Revolution

By combining the proven clinical results of Trabecular Metal Technology and flexibility to convert from a reverse configuration to a Hemi/TSA configuration, the Zimmer Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System offers a revolutionary combination of technology and versatility for the surgeon.

The Zimmer Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System aids in the restoration of normal function for patients suffering from severe distortion of osseous anatomy and loss of rotator cuff function.  The Zimmer Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System offers several innovative features:

  • Trabecular Metal Technology on the stem delivers a scaffold for biological ingrowth potential
  • Utilizes polyaxial locking screws, variable angulations to a maximum of 30º in all directions
  • Cone geometry for initial stability and minimal bone removal
  • Inclination angle of 53º allows for conversion to a Hemi/TSA configuration and provides better access to glenoid
  • Stem design provides various suture attachment options
  • Morse taper on Glenosphere avoids use of central screw in middle of articulation
  • Compatible with Bigliani/Flatow® Heads and Glenoids in the Hemi/TSA configuration
