Intended purpose
A component of a reversed shoulder prosthesis intended to replace the shoulder joint in order to both relieve pain and to improve the mobility of the shoulder joint with respect to the health condition in preoperative.
Functional description
When the glenoid bone stock appears to be insufficient during a primary shoulder joint replacement surgery or a revision, the use of the adaptor (in conjunction with the adaptor metaphysis union screw) allows the transformation of a reversed shoulder prosthesis into a non-reversed hemi-prosthesis.
