Medacta announced the company has received FDA clearance for its lateralized glenosphere implant for total shoulder arthroplasty.

The lateralized glenosphere, which received CE marking in 2019, is another option to Medacta’s shoulder system. The lateralized glenosphere has a more lateralized center of rotation compared to the standard glenosphere offered with the Medacta Shoulder System. According to a company press release, the potential benefits of a more lateralized construct include an improved range of motion and a reduced risk of scapular notching.
