DELTA XTEND™ Reverse Shoulder System

The DELTA XTEND System is a total semi-constrained shoulder arthroplasty. It reverses the normal relationship between the scapular and humeral components, moving the scapulo-humeral joint center of rotation medially and inferiorly.

Features & Benefits

Cementless Modular Humeral Implant

Fluted stem design based on the GLOBAL™ Shoulder Stem Design - positioned in anatomic version for optimal press-fit fixation¹
Hydroxyapatite (HA) coated titanium alloy for cementless application^2,3
Centered and eccentric options to suit anatomy and optimize press-fit fixation
155° neck shaft angle for optimal joint stability⁴
Reduced proximal geometry for bone preservation

Cemented Monobloc Humeral Implant

Polished Cobalt Chromium alloy for optimised cemented fixation⁵
Reduced proximal geometry for bone preservation
Standard and long monobloc stems with suture hole fins and proximal height laser markings on the trial stem for use in proximal bone loss cases

Polyethylene Humeral Cups

Three cup thicknesses (+3, +6 and +9mm) to balance soft tissue for optimal deltoid function based on clinical heritage⁶

Glenoid Component

Centre of rotation on glenoid bone surface for high resistance to loosening shear forces⁴
Two locking cannulated variable angle screws (compress and lock) and two compression screws with +/- 10 degrees adjustable angulation for metaglene primary fixation, designed to enhance resistance to loosening shear forces⁴
Curved back and smaller metaglene, for bone preservation and low positioning on the glenoid to reduce risk of scapular bone erosion7
Standard (13.5mm) and Long Peg (+10mm and +15mm) Metaglenes allow for primary, revision and bone grafting

DELTA XTEND CTA Heads

Hemi-heads available in two diameters and two head heights to facilitate revision from reverse to hemi-arthroplasty if required
Extended articular surface for articulation against acromion

Lateralized Glenospheres

In cases of substantial glenoid bone erosion, lateralization of the metaglene/glenosphere construct may be beneficial.⁸ This may be accomplished by autograft or through the lateralization of the glenosphere.
With 16 lateralization implant options to choose from, the surgeon can accurately re-approximate the patient’s
natural joint line and may help to gain impingement-free range of motion⁹
