Patient is at least 18 years of age at the time of consent and skeletally mature.
Patient is undergoing a primary elective anatomic or reverse shoulder replacement surgery for one of the following indications:
Rheumatoid arthritis, and/or
Traumatic arthritis (Post Traumatic arthritis), and/or
Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, and/or
Correction of functional deformity.
Patient is willing and able to accommodate all study-related procedures and visits detailed in the protocol \& cooperate in the standard of care post-operative therapy.
