Augmented Baseplate

Up to 50% of patients presenting with osteoarthritis and associated rotator cuff arthroplasty have bone erosion that must undergo reconstruction in order to achieve successful shoulder arthroplasty.The use of an augmented baseplate provides a simple, reproducible method to restore the glenoid for reconstruction in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty.  For patients with a lesser degree of bone loss or correction, an augmented baseplate can add benefits of less bone removal, preservation of cortical bone, and lateralization.*

Bone Preparation

Comprehensive® Augmented Baseplate instrumentation now features Off-Axis reaming technology, which allows for glenoid preparation to be executed at a broad range of angularity. A simplified, reproducible bone preparation solution designed to be exposure-friendly while facilitating control and visibility during the ream process.

Off-Axis reaming technology is intended to support reliable and consistent augment placement to facilitate stability for glenoid component fixation, which is critical to the long-term success of reverse shoulder arthroplasty.2,3

Key benefits and features of Off-Axis reaming:

  • Ball hex technology for reaming functionality at 30 degrees in any direction
  • Low-profile reamer guides designed to help fix rotational position
  • Modularity for intraoperative, in-situ assembly

Technology

  • Modular 6.5 mm central compression screw for enhanced stability
  • Central boss for sharing the sheer load being transferred to the glenoid
  • Specialized etch on baseplate face to facilitate accurate augment placement
  • Circular Baseplate allows augment to be positioned to any orientation around glenoid face 
  • HA/TCP over PPS® coating for fixation.
