One of the Most Studied Shoulder Systems

Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System provides several first-to-market implant solutions designed to solve unmet clinical challenges for reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Its groundbreaking design philosophy lateralizes the humerus, which is intended to create a more anatomic deltoid wrap, which aids stability, and better tensions the remaining cuff to improve active rotation.1-2

The Equinoxe Reverse System has been helping patients for almost 20 years. From straightforward to challenging and everything in between, the Equinoxe Reverse System offers biomechanically designed rTSA solutions.

Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System Features and Benefits

Humeral Options

Equinoxe® Reverse Shoulder System Humeral Options Preserve Stem, Humeral Reconstruction Prosthesis, Platform Stem and Humeral Augmented Tray
Equinoxe Preserve Stem
  • Shorter platform stem designed to preserve distal humeral bone
  • Polished distal tip designed to facilitate stem removal if necessary
  • Full length fins designed for rotational stability
Platform Stem
  • Original stem design provides intraoperative flexibility and ability to convert a well-fixed stem to a reverse without stem removal
Equinoxe Humeral Reconstruction Prosthesis**
  • First-to-market biomechanically designed humeral reconstruction system
  • Designed to provide a unique and stable solution for complex and challenging cases with humeral bone loss
  • A two-year outcomes study showed significant improvements in range of motion, pain and outcome scores, with no cases of
    humeral component loosening.7
Humeral Augmented Tray
  • Our second solution for proximal humeral bone loss
  • Designed to increase humeral lateralization and deltoid wrapping and improve joint mechanics and stability

Glenoid Options

Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System Glenoid Options - Central Screw Baseplate, Small Reverse and Superior and Posterior Augments
Central Screw Baseplate
  • Used in primary and revision cases
  • Curved, anatomic shape designed for bone preservation8
  • Central screw designed to achieve initial fixation1
  • Unique bone cage is designed to promote bone-through growth
  • 25% smaller than our standard baseplate design
Small Reverse Baseplates
  • Based on a proprietary CT analysis
  • Designed to treat patients with small glenohumeral anatomy
  • 25% smaller than our standard baseplate design
Superior and Posterior Augments
  • First to offer reverse augments
  • Designed to preserve bone10 and avoid medializing the joint line by building up the eroded side rather than reaming to correct the deficiency

  • Features unique bone cage designed to provide initial fixation and allow for bone through-growth 11-12
