Enhanced Glenoid Fixation

 Minimized Torque on the Glenoid

• The larger diameter glenospheres result in a medialized center of rotation, thereby minimizing the torque on the glenoid. This medialized center of rotation has a long history of clinical success.¹
• The curved back of the glenoid baseplate further enhances fixation by converting destabilizing shear forces into stabilizing compressive forces.

Strong Initial Fixation

• Strong initial fixation can be achieved with the press-fit bone cage of the glenoid baseplate, while the six-hole baseplate design provides up to 30 degrees of screw variability to ensure optimal compression screw placement and purchase, even in poor quality bone.²
• Locking caps are provided to secure the compression screws to the glenoid baseplate at the desired variable angle.
• Bench testing conducted on the Equinoxe® reverse quantified micromotion values at approximately half of those published with other systems measuring fixation using similar testing methodologies.^2,3,4,5

Long-Term Biologic Fixation

• Unique to the Equinoxe, bone graft can be inserted into the cage to promote bone through-growth, which enhances the probability of long-term biologic fixation.
