Personalized Shoulder Reconstruction Implant
Your shoulder surgeons who repair extensive glenoid deficiencies
now have another treatment option besides bone grafting or hemi-
arthroplasties. This custom shoulder implant from Zimmer Biomet,
called the Vault Reconstruction System (VRS), is the first patient-
matched glenoid implant to treat patients with a severely deficient
rotator cuff and extensive bone loss that precludes the use of a stan-
dard glenoid baseplate. The VRS uses CT imaging and advanced 3D
reconstruction techniques to let surgeons personalize each patient's
implant in the hope of more predictable outcomes and results that
extend beyond pain relief, says the company.
