Indications for Use
Traumatic or pathologic conditions of the shoulder resulting in fracture of the glenohumeral joint. Including humeral head fracture and displaced 3-or 4-part proximal humeral fractures.
Device Story
The AEQUALIS Shoulder Fracture System is a modular orthopedic prosthesis designed for total or hemi-shoulder replacement to treat glenohumeral joint fractures. The system allows for primary hemiarthroplasty with the option for later conversion to total shoulder replacement. The modification adds a long stem option to the existing range. The device is implanted by a surgeon in a clinical setting to replace damaged bone, aiming to restore joint function and eliminate pain.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium alloy (6Al-4V-Ti) per ISO 5832-3; Cobalt-Chromium alloy per ISO 5832-7 or ISO 5832-12. Design: Modular shoulder prosthesis with grit-blasted proximal stem. Classification: Class II, 21 CFR 888.3660, Product Code KWS.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with traumatic or pathologic conditions of the shoulder resulting in glenohumeral joint fractures, specifically humeral head fractures and displaced 3- or 4-part proximal humeral fractures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).
