AltiVate Reverse

Features & Benefits

Anatomic Basis

The AltiVate Reverse stem was designed using anatomic studies to optimize the shell-to-stem position and to match patient anatomy for both anatomic and reverse total shoulders. This stem features an anatomic humeral neck-shaft angle of 135°.

Biomechanical testing has shown that having a humeral neck-shaft angle in the range of normal anatomy reduces the potential for inferior scapular notching.¹

Enhanced Fixation

On both the glenoid and humeral side, expect short and long term fixation as a result of stable initial fixation as well as ideal conditions for bony ingrowth.

Our one piece, monolithic AltiVate Reverse glenoid baseplate design provides 2000N or 10X more compression than a pegged baseplate design,³ providing stable initial fixation. The coating options, P2 and 3D Matrix with hydroxyapatite, create ideal conditions for bony ingrowth for long-term fixation.

P2, backed by the largest porous coating animal study in the world, creates instant micro-fractures in the trabeculae upon initial bite to the bone, which causes an instantaneous bone in-growth reaction.²

Clinical Application

The AltiVate Reverse stem is indicated for a variety of applications:

• Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty
• Hemiarthroplasty
• Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
• Hemiarthroplasty for fracture
• Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for fracture

For each of these applications, the stem can be cemented or press-fit.

Glenospheres

A great deal of variability can be experienced in rotator-cuff-deficient shoulders. The AltiVate Reverse system offers unmatched versatility, in size and offset, of glenospheres to manage complex anatomy and surgical outcomes.

Socket Inserts

Both traditional and +4mm inserts are available in 32, 36, 40 and 44mm in standard and semi-constrained providing various options of height, diameter, and constraint.

8mm Spacer

This 8mm Spacer is screwed into the AltiVate Reverse Stem and with a traditional insert provides 8mm of humeral prothesis build-up.

Hemi-Adapter

This Hemi-Adapter is screwed into the AltiVate Reverse Stem and with a Turon humeral head converts the reverse stem to a hemi-arthroplasty prosthesis.
