Product Information Prosthesis of shoulder for complex fractures DUOCENTRIC® Trauma

Trauma Indications Shoulder arthroplasty for complex fractures of the proximal humerus (3 or 4 part fractures). Raw materials : ■ Stainless steel (Iso 5832-9) Principles : The geometry of the proximal humerus should be reconstructed to restore normal joint kinematics. Changes in ligament tension and rotator cuff balance due to malplacement of tuberosity fixation may lead to stem migration, shoulder dysfunction and progressive wear of the bearing surface. ■ The optimal position for tuberosity fixation is therefore a determining factor in the stability and longevity of a trauma shoulder prosthesis.
