Tornier Simpliciti™ Shoulder System

Edward V. Fehringer, MD, of Columbus Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Clinic, is one of only a handful of U.S. orthopedic surgeons replacing shoulders with the first FDA-approved, bone-sparing implant: the Tornier Simpliciti™ Shoulder System.

He and four other shoulder surgeons created and designed the device with a team of engineers. Now, Dr. Fehringer is bringing this innovative surgery to Columbus.

The Tornier Simpliciti™ Shoulder System is the only bone-preserving shoulder replacement option available in the United States and it redefines surgical results and improves patient outcomes.

The new Simpliciti system uses a simple, clinically proven restoration approach that closely resembles a shoulder’s natural anatomy. Compared to the traditional “stem” replacement device, which must be inserted deeply into the bone of the upper arm, surgeons can now capitalize on a more straightforward approach, with the benefit of simpler implantation.

Simpliciti saves precious bone for potential revision surgeries and also avoids a number of risks associated with the stemmed approach. For these reasons, Simpliciti is quickly redefining total shoulder replacement — and providing great outcomes to patients.

The innovative system spares bone and offers countless benefits to patients. These include:

Less time in the operating room
Less overall recovery time
Less chance for fractures or other complications

Dr. Fehringer is board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is an active member of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and has been selected as one the Best Doctors in America for 10 straight years.
