  • Summary
    • AETOS Shoulder System is a metaphyseal, in-lay humeral platform that recenters on the anatomic neck cut, uses concentric humeral heads, and is delivered with a streamlined tray workflow for efficient anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
    • It is used for anatomic TSA with an anatomic 4-peg glenoid and for reverse RSA via the Meta Stem.
  • Indications
    • Indications
      • primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty using AETOS anatomic glenoid with Meta Stem or Stemless humeral components
      • reverse shoulder arthroplasty using AETOS reverse baseplate/glenosphere constructs with the AETOS Meta Stem
    • Contraindications
      • active infection
      • insufficient bone stock
      • neuromuscular disorders
  • Approach
    • Standard deltopectoral incision centered on the coracoid/anterior shoulder axis
  • Technical Specifications
    • Humeral Meta Stem
      • four sizes (1–4) with an in-lay collar geometry for flush seating on the resection
      • cruciate fins in A/P and M/L planes for metaphyseal stability
