Bigliani/Flatow® The Complete Shoulder Solution

At Zimmer, we design implants with a primary goal in mind: to replicate as nearly as possible the natural mobility, balance, and stability of the joint.

Backed by the clinical expertise of surgeons and decades of development experience, our new shoulder system reflects this philosophy.

Designed to enhance cement fixation and minimize polyethylene wear, the glenoid component employs innovative variable conformity to help ensure stability through range of motion, while reducing edge loading and associated wear.

Reproducible surgical technique, maximum bone stock preservation, and durable materials help you to optimize the outcome of primary or revision surgery for your patients.

Precise, low-profile instrumentation, designed by shoulder surgeons for shoulder surgeons, makes reproducible results a reality.

Instruments pressurize cement for excellent interdigitation into cancellous bone. The resulting highly conforming cement mantle is intended to provide an intimate contact with the prosthetic component, thereby reducing the potential for early postoperative radiolucencies.

A range of sizes matches patient anatomy, thus preserving bone stock. In comparison to smaller keel/pegs found on other glenoid components, the proportionally sized keel/pegs of the Bigliani/Flatow Shoulder glenoid help to enhance initial fixation.¹

The glenoid articular surface provides a central conforming zone surrounded by a nonconforming zone. This patented variable conformity helps ensure stability throughout the range of motion, while reducing edge loading and associated wear.

Well-marked instrumentation helps you select the humeral head size and position that provide maximum bone coverage. This combination also helps to re-create anatomical relationships.

A comprehensive and convenient set of instruments lets you precisely align implants for consistent, reproducible results.

The proof is in the details-every important surgical step is supported by instruments specifically designed to help ensure reproducible results.
