AGILON

The AGILON® shoulder system follows a logical modular approach so that the surgeon can optimize implant-patient fit intra-operatively in a stepwise manner as an array of possibilities is available at each stage. There are six implatan® (TiAl6V4) metaphyseal components altogether (i.e. four omarthrosis versions in two lengths of 30mm or 40mm and two CCD angles of 135° or 155° plus two 30mm long trauma options which also come with CCD angles of 135° or 155°). As this choice is made just prior to closing the fine-tuning of rotation (relative to the diaphyseal elements via the stable 10° spur gearing connection) as well as CCD angle can be utilized to great effect.

The trauma components have been kept very slim to facilitate reconstruction after fracture and offer three eyelets for fixation of the tuberosities. The porous surface is smoothened in certain strategic areas to minimize damage to the suture materials due to micro motion.

Cementless stems are used more frequently than cemented stems in the absence of trauma hence the arthritis metaphyseal components have been designed with cementless fixation in mind. They feature longitudinal fins for increased rotational stability and are generally implanted pre-assambled with their diaphyseal counterparts to enhance press fit. The components are equipped with a collar to ensure better fit and to minimize subsidence. It is recommended that a 40mm long metaphyseal component is used for primary anatomical reconstruction as this can be replaced by a 30mm option very easily should conversion / revision to an inverse be necessary.
