Affinis Short: The First Shoulder Implant to Achieve a 10A* ODEP Rating
Do you know that Affinis Short has been the first Shoulder implant receiving a 10A* ODEP Rating in 2024?[1]
Featuring cutting-edge materials and technologies, in particular when coupled with Affinis RM Glenoid, Affinis Short is a top performer in the shoulder world. The great results proved by the ODEP rating are confirmed by registries as the AOANJRR [2] and NJR [3, 4], where Affinis Short is respectively the most implanted stemless prosthesis and the most implanted anatomic prosthesis in the 10 years results. As a forerunner of stemless shoulder prostheses, Affinis Short is defined by a ground-breaking implant design that combines the advantages of simple, anatomical reconstruction without major bone loss and, thanks to the coating of the component, allows completely cementless fixation in the humerus and glenoid.
The established, uncompromised designed is supported by a straightforward set concept and smart instrumentation that simplify the surgical steps, making them guided and reproducible.
