| BUECHEL-PAPPAS™
SHOULDER REPLACEMENT SYSTEM - PRIMARY |
Humeral
Stem
The Buechel-Pappas™
Total Shoulder is a time-tested System which is the result of
more than twenty-five years of development, clinical investigation,
and use. The Humeral Stem is a derivative of stems in successful
clinical use since 1978. The Glenoid Component has been in clinical
use in its present form since 1982.

- Three
Humeral Head sizes (44, 48, and 52mm), and four Humeral
Stem sizes (8, 10, 12, and 14mm) provide twelve combinations
for proper patient fit. Humeral Head Offsets in four sizes
(+2.5mm, 5mm, 7.5mm and 10mm) provide for proper tissue
tensioning.
- Titanium
alloy provides superior mechanical compatibility and eliminates
metal sensitivities. Use of similar materials for the head
and stem eliminates corrosion seen clinically with the use
of Cobalt Chrome (Co-Cr) head and Titanium stems.
- Straight,
cylindrical stem allows simple, accurate, humeral preparation
and tight component fit, with absence of distal torsional
restriction.
- Ceramic
UltraCoat® coating on the Humeral Head reduces joint
friction and both plastic and metallic wear debris resulting
from micro-motion at the implant interface.
- Optional
proximal BioCoat® porous coating provides enhanced fixation.
- Proximal
fins provide enhanced torsional resistance.
Glenoid
Component
- Anatomical
platform provides optimal coverage without overhang; Designs
are available in both metal backed and all-poly versions.
- Minimal
glenoid resection and disruption maintains maximum bone
stock for improved fixation. Thicker Glenoid Bearings (2.5mm
and 5mm) are available to aid in reconstructing the joint
line.
- Optional
screws enhance Glenoid Component stabilization.
- Flexible
projections provide secure retention of the Bearing in the
walled cavity of the metallic Glenoid Component.
- Simple
digital installation.
- Glenoid
sizes - size 1 to 4.
- Thicker
Glenoid Bearings (2.5 and 5mm) are available to aid in reconstructing
the joint line.
