The Zimmer Trabecular Metal Humeral Stem addresses key surgeon needs and is optimized for the patient’s anatomy.

The Zimmer Trabecular Metal Humeral Stem provides initial stability and is designed to provide long-term fixation,¹ enabling the healing of challenging fracture cases. Trabecular Metal Material supports biologic ingrowth to facilitate healing by enhancing vascularization and more normal bone remodeling.^2,3

The Trabecular Metal™ Technology construct provides better friction against bone when compared to alternative technologies, which increases implant stability.^1,2
