Indications for Use
The Reverse Shoulder is indicated for use in patients with grossly rotator cuff deficient shoulder joints and for patients with a previously failed joint replacement with a grossly rotator cuff deficient shoulder joint. The patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive the selected implant(s), and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device. The glenoid baseplate is intended for cementless application with the addition of screws for fixation. The humeral stem is intended for cemented use only.
Device Story
The Encore Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis is a total shoulder replacement system designed for patients with non-functional rotator cuffs. Unlike traditional shoulder prostheses, this device features an 'inverted' articulation: the ball component attaches to the glenoid baseplate, and the cup component attaches to the humeral stem. The glenoid baseplate is designed for cementless fixation using a central 6.5mm cancellous screw and four peripheral screws (3.5mm non-locking and/or 5.0mm locking/non-locking). The humeral stem is designed for cemented fixation. The device is implanted by an orthopedic surgeon in a clinical/surgical setting. By reversing the joint mechanics, the device relies on the deltoid muscle rather than the rotator cuff to provide shoulder function, potentially restoring mobility and reducing pain in patients who are otherwise unsuitable for standard total shoulder arthroplasty.
Technological Characteristics
Total shoulder prosthesis; semi-constrained; metal/polymer construction. Features inverted ball-and-socket geometry. Glenoid baseplate: porous coated, cementless, fixed with one 6.5mm cancellous screw and four peripheral screws (3.5mm/5.0mm). Humeral stem: cemented. Designed for patients with non-functional rotator cuffs requiring deltoid-driven articulation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with grossly rotator cuff deficient shoulder joints or failed joint replacements with rotator cuff deficiency. Requires anatomically/structurally suitable joint and functional deltoid muscle.
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).
