The Titan Modular Total Shoulder System Keeled Glenoid is used in conjunction with metaphyseal bodies, humeral stems, and humeral heads in the TITAN™ Modular Total Shoulder System for total replacement Arthroplasty and provide stable fixation, proximal bone loading, and proper head placement. The glenoid component is intended for use of correction of humeral joint due to severely painful and/or disabled joint resulting from osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The component is also used in repairing fracture-dislocations of the proximal humerus where the articular surface is severely comminuted, separated from its blood supply or where the surgeon’s experience indicates that alternative methods of treatment are unsatisfactory as well as other difficult clinical problems where shoulder arthrodesis or resection arthroplasty are not acceptable (e.g. – revision of a failed primary component).
An implantable, prefabricated component of a total shoulder prosthesis (glenoid component) designed to replace or repair the glenoid fossa; it is not a custom-made device. It is cup-like in shape and typically made of polyethylene (PE), but may be made of metal or a combination of PE and metal; it may include fixation devices (e.g., screws) for attachment to the scapula.
