CAPICA® Shoulder Resurfacing System
The CAPICA® resurfacing system
The CAPICA® resurfacing system has been designed to treat young patients with or without rotator cuff insufficiencies:
• Where a cuff insufficiency is present the deltoid is activated by increased implant thickness to optimise the distance between the acromion and the centre of rotation. This produces a similar effect to implanting inverse geometry options but with the added advantage of preserving the glenoid.
• Where there is no cuff insufficiency standard neutral resurfacing implants are available. The articulating surface features a ceramic titanium nitride (TiN) coating to optimise the tribological properties. The implaFix® commercially pure titanium (cpTi) coating promotes osteointegration.
The AGILON® glenoid components can be combined with CAPICA® caps.
