Exactech has announced the successful first surgical procedures using its new Equinoxe® Central Screw (CS) Baseplate implant.
This development represents a significant advancement in shoulder care, enhancing the options available for surgeons treating shoulder conditions.
The CS Baseplate leverages over 20 years of clinical experience from Exactech's Equinoxe Shoulder System. Designed with a curved, anatomical shape, the new baseplate prioritises bone preservation.
It has a cylindrical bone cage, central compression screw, and peripheral screws to improve fixation. The implant is suitable for use in both primary and revision shoulder procedures.
The initial procedures using the CS Baseplate were performed by leading orthopaedic surgeons.
The new implant has been developed to provide surgeons with more efficient options for addressing a range of patient needs, particularly on the glenoid side.
It is designed to support primary and complex revision cases, integrating innovative features such as a "One-Lock Plate" for simplified screw locking.
The CS Baseplate incorporates elements from its existing successful shoulder systems while introducing new features to address diverse patient anatomies and surgical challenges.
The combination of a central screw and bone cage is intended to optimise initial fixation and encourage bone growth through the implant. The full range of standard and augmented implants provides surgeons with versatile solutions for shoulder arthroplasty.
The device aims to improve the surgical experience while maintaining the robust clinical performance associated with the Equinoxe portfolio.
