Copeland implant

Copeland implant from Biomet unlike a total shoulder implant, is designed to cap only the top of the humerus. The implant requires much less bone and cartilage removal, which makes it more conservative than total joint implants. The Copeland implant’s design and minimally invasive approach allow patients to potentially recover more quickly and with less pain. It is also potentially less complicated to replace should a future total shoulder replacement become necessary. Shoulder Resurfacing - Biomet - Copeland - Healthbase
