Biomet Comprehensive Shoulder Implant Complications
Over 50,000 Americans undergo shoulder replacement surgery each year to relieve joint pain and
restore arm movement. There are several types of shoulder replacement surgeries, including conventional and reverse shoulder replacement.
Reverse shoulder replacement is traditionally performed in patients who have completely torn rotator cuffs or previously failed shoulder surgeries. Reverse implants rely on different muscles to move the arm than traditional implants and can help restore some motion in the patients shoulder area.
The Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder System by Zimmer Biomet has been blamed for painful complications, including:
- bone loss
- device fracture

- repositioning / malpositioning
- need for additional surgeries
- death
