How is the 5 stem in the TSA Univers described?

The 5 stem in the TSA Univers is characterized as a monoblock set at 132.5 degrees. This angle is crucial because it affects the geometry and positioning of the shoulder components during total shoulder arthroplasty. A proper stem angle helps to optimize the alignment and stability of the implant, which can significantly influence the overall function and range of motion for the patient post-surgery. The monoblock design also simplifies implantation by reducing the number of components that need to be managed during the procedure, allowing for a more streamlined installation process.
