This investigation is a prospective, multi-center clinical investigation. It is anticipated that a total of one hundred (100) subjects will be enrolled at approximately 5-10 sites. The clinical investigation has been designed to follow the surgeon's standard of care for joint arthroplasty patients, which entails clinical evaluation on a regular ongoing basis, or as needed should the patient become symptomatic in the treated joint.
The objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy/performance of the ReUnion RFX System. Efficacy/performance of the procedure will be measured by the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Score. Safety of the ReUnion RFX System will be demonstrated through reporting of device-related intraoperative and postoperative Adverse Events (AEs). Enrolled subjects will be assessed at Pre-Operative, Operative/Discharge, and at 6 Weeks, 6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months and annually thereafter up to 10 years following the index procedure.

The ReUnion RFX System includes a Reversible Fracture Stem (RFX Stem) that can utilize either the ReUnion Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) or ReUnion Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) humeral and glenoid components and is indicated for use as a hemi, total or reverse shoulder replacement. The ReUnion RFX stem is intended for cemented use only.

24-month Mean ASES Shoulder Score: Arm B (Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty)
This is a mixed outcome reporting measure, applicable for use in patients with shoulder pathology regardless of diagnosis and consists of a pain visual analog scale (VAS) and 10 functional questions. The primary endpoint of the clinical investigation is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the device to the selected literature controls, as measured by the ASES Shoulder Score at 24 Months post-operative. Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating a worse shoulder condition and 100 indicating a better shoulder condition.
Time frame: 24 months
12-month Mean ASES Shoulder Score: Arm B (Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty)
This is a mixed outcome reporting measure, applicable for use in patients with shoulder pathology regardless of diagnosis and consists of a pain visual analog scale (VAS) and 10 functional questions. The primary endpoint of the clinical investigation is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the device to the selected literature controls, as measured by the ASES Shoulder Score at 24 Months post-operative. Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating a worse shoulder condition and 100 indicating a better shoulder condition.
Time frame: *12 months (reporting 12mth as more data available)
Device-related Adverse Events
Incidence of intraoperative and post-operative adverse events related to the device will be collected and reported. Time to earliest device-related incident will be analyzed.
Time frame: 24 mths
Implant Survivorship
Time to mortality or last available assessment will be measured and reported.
Time frame: 10 years
