The anatomically-based, data-driven AltiVate Reverse® system incorporates enhanced fixation technologies and precision instrumentation for exceptional fit in more of your patients.1
With indications for reverse TSA, anatomic TSA, and hemiarthroplasty (including proximal humerus fractures), AltiVate Reverse® is one platform to treat your arthroplasty patients.
With four different stem length options (48mm, 108mm, 175mm, and 220mm) and two different shell sizes (36mm and 42mm), the AltiVate Reverse® system has options to meet the needs of patients across a wide spectrum of humeral anatomies.
The AltiVate Reverse® is based on the design principles of the RSP®, which are backed by 10-year clinical data showing no decline in patient outcomes.2 These design principles include a center of rotation lateral to the glenoid, a humeral neck angle of 135°, and a humeral stem inlaid within the humeral bone. The 48mm stems are the first short, convertible, inlay stems on the market.
Our one piece, monolithic AltiVate Reverse® glenoid baseplate design provides 2000N or 10X more compression than a pegged baseplate design,7 providing stable initial fixation. On both the glenoid and humeral components, our proprietary coating, P²™, aids in the apposition of bone for superior bony ingrowth.
P2, backed by the largest porous coating animal study in the world also creates instant micro-fractures in the trabeculae upon initial bite to the bone, which causes an instantaneous bone in-growth reaction.2
The AltiVate Reverse® is indicated for a variety of applications:
For each of these applications, the stem can be cemented or press-fit.
The AltiVate Reverse® stems were designed using anatomic studies to optimize the shell-to-stem position and to match patient anatomy for both anatomic and reverse total shoulders. This design 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.6
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.
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.
These options are also available in our highly-crosslinked, Vitamin E-blended e+™ poly. Learn more about it here.
This 8mm Spacer is screwed into the standard AltiVate Reverse® Stem and with a traditional insert provides 8mm of humeral prothesis build-up.
The AltiVate Reverse® Small Shell Stem has both 8mm and 12mm metal spacers for additional build-up options.
This Hemi-Adapter is screwed into the AltiVate Reverse® Stem and with a Turon® or AltiVate® Anatomic humeral head converts the reverse stem to a hemi-arthroplasty prosthesis.
This implant is available with both the Standard and Small Shell versions of the AltiVate Reverse® stem.
The AltiVate Reverse® instrumentation was designed for two different surgical approaches, catering to different surgical preferences. The instruments simplify prosthesis positioning and implantation, and specialized revision instruments allow for stem removal with minimal bony disruption.
Implant position is based on the fit in the metaphysis.
Implant position is based on the fit in the humeral canal.
