Important Safety Information

Which Treatment Option Is Right for You?

Based on the condition of your shoulder joint and rotator cuff, your surgeon will determine the best type of shoulder replacement for you: anatomic total shoulder replacement or reverse total shoulder replacement.

Anatomic Total Shoulder Replacement

You may be a candidate for anatomic total shoulder replacement if you have a healthy rotator cuff and good-quality bone.

Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement

Reverse total shoulder replacement may be the option for you if you have issues with rotator cuff function, poor bone quality, or if you have had unsuccessful shoulder surgeries in the past.
