Exactech Equinoxe Modular Shoulder Prosthesis

Exactech’s Equinoxe® modular shoulder prostheses, pictured, offer several key features:

Modularity: The system is designed to offer high flexibility. A platform humeral stem allows for conversion from a primary or hemifracture shoulder to a reverse shoulder without removing the humeral stem.

Glenoid Solutions: The system offers a wide range of glenoid solutions, including pear-shaped, pegged, keeled, and augmented options, designed to preserve bone and provide initial and biological fixation.

Reverse Biomechanics: The Equinoxe system design aims to lateralize the humerus to create a more anatomically correct deltoid shell, promoting stability and improving active rotation by tensioning the remaining cuff.

Humeral Head: The anatomical stem allows for surgical conversions (e.g., from a total shoulder to a reverse shoulder) without requiring stem removal. Glenoid curvatures allow for the combination of different head and glenoid sizes while maintaining optimal radial offset.

Stemless Technology (for select models): Some models, such as the Equinoxe stemless shoulder, utilize direct metal 3D printing for their manufacturing, providing primary stability.

Surgical Navigation (GPS): The Equinoxe system can be used with GPS navigation to guide the surgeon during implantation, enabling precise positioning of implants and screws.
