Stryker introduced its Tornier shoulder arthroplasty franchise and launched its first Tornier product—the Perform humeral stem—in Europe.
“Stryker is pleased to offer our European customers access to the entire Tornier shoulder arthroplasty portfolio, including the new Perform Humeral Stem,” Mike Panos, president of Stryker’s Trauma & Extremities division told the press. “The product line will set Stryker apart from its competitors while we further advance our commitment to improving healthcare for both surgeons and their patients.”
The Tornier Perform humeral stem is used in anatomic, reverse, and hemiarthroplasty of the shoulder. It can also be converted from anatomic to reverse shoulder prosthesis in cases of revision.
It comes in four collar diameters with multiple lengths to optimize humeral fit. Smaller stem options facilitate addressing smaller patient anatomies. Perform is also compatible with the full line of standard and augmented Perform glenoid options. Finally, Blueprint planning software allows case planning in advance and real-time, precise virtual surgery prior to going into the operating room.
“The Tornier Perform Humeral Stem gives the ability to use Blueprint to confirm surgical plans and optimize the full range of glenoid options available,” said Dr. Gilles Walch, Lyon, FR, one of the designers of the system. “With Perform, surgeons are better able to address the needs of both highly complex and simple patient cases.”
