Ascension Orthopedics Announces Market Release of TITANâ„¢ Inset Mini Glenoid

July 6, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

AUSTIN, Texas, July 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Ascension
Orthopedics, Inc., a world leader in PyroCarbon orthopedic devices,
announces the market release of the TITAN Inset Mini Glenoid. The
Mini Glenoid is yet another addition to the TITAN Modular Shoulder
System, which can now provide a unique way to address glenoid
arthritis.

“The Mini Glenoid prosthesis is designed to resurface the
central portion of the glenoid as well as load-share with the
peripheral glenoid bone, which allows for minimal forces to be
transmitted on the edge of the Mini Glenoid prosthesis,” commented
Mark Ross, MB.BS.FRACS,FA(ORTHO)A. “These edge forces have been
shown to lead to loosening in a standard glenoid.”  

“Another great advantage of the Mini Glenoid is that it allows
for retention of soft tissues that would normally be resected with
a standard glenoid, such as a healthy labrum,” stated Phillip Duke,
MB.BS.FRACS,FA(ORTHO)A.

The TITAN shoulder line now offers an inset Mini Glenoid option
that is available in round and oval designs.  The modularity
of the TITAN line allows for one system to be used in a number of
different applications including: humeral resurfacing arthroplasty,
hemi or total shoulder arthroplasty, and press-fit or cemented
fracture arthroplasty.  Less instrumentation is needed in the
operating room and the ease of reproducibility helps provide for
consistent patient outcomes.

“We are striving to continually release innovative products into
the market place,” commented Guy Mayer, President and CEO of
Ascension Orthopedics. “Today we show this commitment with the Mini
Glenoid prosthesis, which offers an option for glenoid replacement
unlike any other currently available.  We are excited to build
on the clinical success of the TITAN shoulder line with another
unique addition.”

Ascension Orthopedics was founded in Austin, Texas in 1992. The
company’s first product was an innovative pyrolytic carbon implant
