Product Overview
The patented GLOBAL® Anchor Peg Glenoid Implant achieves immediate stability with the three cemented peripheral pegs, and provides long-term fixation through an interference fit of the central peg. The central peg facilitates bony integration around the flutes for increased fixation strength and resists “rocking horse” loosening. A study by Wirth et al. showed that mean fixation strength increased significantly within three months and remained strong six months postoperatively in a weight-bearing animal study. Improved fixation of the central fluted peg was confirmed radiographically and histologically in all cases.1
GLOBAL®APG+ is an advanced cannulated instrumentation system that provides accurate placement, orientation, and precise bone preparation for optimal implantation of the GLOBAL® Anchor Peg Glenoid Implant. The instruments were designed for ease of use and heightened efficiency in the operating room by incorporating features that enhance versatility, simplicity, and precision through a streamlined surgical approach. GLOBAL® APG+ Implant is designed to be used with either the GLOBAL® ADVANTAGE® or GLOBAL® AP® Shoulder Arthroplasty Systems. Both arthroplasty systems combine innovative designs and durable materials with almost 20 years of clinical history. (https://www.depuysynthes.com/)
