Affinis^® Short

A mini prosthesis with great assets. Affinis^® Short is part of an innovative system and combines the benefits of both the modern resurfacing and the proven stemmed implants:

Biological and anatomical reconstruction of the glenohumeral geometry through guided surgical technique and anatomic ceramic heads
Six stem sizes for an individual optimal fit
Metaphyseal anchorage
Bone saving and less invasive
Calciumphosphate coating enhances the ingrowth
Simple Glenoid access for an accurate total prosthesis provision
Easy, secure and precise instrumentation

The shorter operation times and the reduced post-operative pain experienced by the patient, explainable by the bone preserving approach, are other advantages of the Affinis^® Short.

Anatomical ceramic head and stem

The Affinis^® Short, with a total of eight different head and six different stem sizes, is not only anatomically correct, but also extremely precise.

Head

Anatomically shaped with an optimal offset
Inert bio ceramic
Geometry of heads allow a smooth and seamless bone-implant transition
Ceramic-PE – the long lasting pairing

Stem

4 wings: secure metaphysial anchorage
Easy to implant
Window design
Bone sparing
Rough porous titanium structure
High primary stability

Glenoid

The short stem principle simplifies the implantation and correct positioning of the glenoid component decisively and leads to less overstuffing in the shoulder.

Two peg fixation
High stability
Bone sparing, convex backside
Cement pockets allow a smooth cement distribution for an enhanced long term fixation

Retractors

Along with the new Affinis^® Short, new hooks have been developed, for the implantation of all Affinis^® Shoulder Prosthesis. They allow an optimal access and support the surgical progress decisively. Read more about the new retractors.
