AltiVate Reverse®

AltiVate Reverse® is built solely on the first-to-market and only 135° stem to be backed by 10 years of proven clinical data showing no decline in patient outcomes.8 With streamlined instrumentation and fully interchangeable stem and glenosphere sizing, the AltiVate Reverse system is the simple choice to meet the needs of today’s surgical environments.

These design principles include a center of rotation lateral to the glenoid, the first to market humeral neck angle of 135°, and a humeral stem inlaid within the humeral bone. The 48mm stems are the first short, convertible, inlay stems on the market.

With indications for reverse TSA, anatomic TSA, and hemiarthroplasty (including proximal humerus fractures), AltiVate Reverse® is one platform to treat your arthroplasty patients. With four different stem length options (48mm, 108mm, 175mm, and 220mm) and two different shell sizes (36mm and 42mm), the AltiVate Reverse® system has options to meet the needs of patients across a wide spectrum of humeral anatomies.

The AltiVate Reverse® Glenoid System incorporates the central screw fixation and lateralization of the RSP® Glenoid System and adds modularity to provide options for a wider variety of patients. Our multiple central screw lengths and diameters offer more flexibility, while the 15 degree wedge provides a metallic augment in addition to bone grafting. With five baseplates, eleven glenospheres, and ten years of clinical follow-up⁹ on our philosophy, the AltiVate Reverse is one system to treat a broad spectrum of patients with varying anatomy.

Anatomic Basis

The AltiVate Reverse® stems were designed using anatomic studies to optimize the shell-to-stem position and to match patient anatomy for both anatomic and reverse total shoulders. This design features an anatomic humeral neck-shaft angle of 135°.

Biomechanical testing has shown that having a humeral neck-shaft angle in the range of normal anatomy reduces the potential for inferior scapular notching.⁶

Socket Inserts

Both traditional and +4mm inserts are available in 32, 36, 40 and 44mm in standard and semi-constrained providing various options of height, diameter, and constraint.

These options are also available in our highly-crosslinked, Vitamin E-blended e+™ poly. Learn more about it here.

Metal Spacers

This 8mm Spacer is screwed into the standard AltiVate Reverse® Stem and with a traditional insert provides 8mm of humeral prothesis build-up.

The AltiVate Reverse® Small Shell Stem has both 8mm and 12mm metal spacers for additional build-up options.

Hemi-Adapter

This Hemi-Adapter is screwed into the AltiVate Reverse® Stem and with a Turon® or AltiVate® Anatomic humeral head converts the reverse stem to a hemi-arthroplasty prosthesis.

This implant is available with both the Standard and Small Shell versions of the AltiVate Reverse® stem.

Precision Instrumentation

The AltiVate Reverse® instrumentation was designed for two different surgical approaches, catering to different surgical preferences. The instruments simplify prosthesis positioning and implantation, and specialized revision instruments allow for stem removal with minimal bony disruption.
