  • Page 8: Design Rationale

    DELTA XTEND REvERsE shouLDER sysTEm FEATuREs The DELTA XTEND Reverse shoulder system is a total semi-constrained shoulder arthroplasty that reverses the normal biomechanics between the scapular and humeral components. it moves the gleno-humeral joint centre of rotation medially and inferiorly, increasing the deltoid lever arm and the deltoid tension. This allows the muscles of the deltoid group to compensate for rotator cuff deficiency.
