AETOS Stemless is designed to maximize metaphyseal fixation and stability with an inlay collar, cruciate fins, and porous titanium coating to encourage biological fixation, according to a Dec. 16 news release. 

The stemless implant expands the AETOS Shoulder System, which was introduced last year.
