DePuy Orthopaedics' ismaking the broadcast available for free via www.OR-Live.com."The Global AP Shoulder has made a big difference in the way we treatshoulders because it can be adapted based on the patient's anatomy," saidDr. Williams. "The Global AP gives us the option to choose either a fixedor adjustable neck. This means we can replicate a patient's naturalanatomical requirements."
As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. Only an orthopaedicsurgeon can determine whether an orthopaedic implant is anappropriate course of treatment. There are potential risks, and recoverytakes time. The performance of the new joint depends on weight, activitylevel, age and other factors. These need to be discussed with a doctor.
