ODEP 5A Stemmed Verso
Innovative Design Orthopaedics (IDO) is proud to announce that the Stemmed VERSO® shoulder joint replacement has recently been awarded by the Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) in the UK a 5A ODEP Rating.
The 5A ODEP rating of the Stemmed version of the Verso® Reverse Shoulder replacement with uncemented Metaphyseal fixation (Metal Metaphyseal Shells combinations/ Metal Baseplate / Glenospheres and Polyethylene Liners) has been approved at the latest ODEP shoulder meeting, published on 31 July 2025 (https://www.odep.org.uk/product/verso-stemmed/).
The Stemmed Reverse version, designed mainly for fractures and revisions had initially a limited use and therefore couldn’t be accepted for ODEP rating but now it reached the required number of operations and follow-up period which lead to this rating.
Shoulder ratings are provided at benchmarks of 3, 5, 7 and 10 years of follow-up alongside an ‘A’ or ‘B’ rating dependent upon the strength of evidence and quality of the data provided. ODEP ratings provide a simple, independently verified assessment of the performance of an implant, assessed against clinical best practice guidelines. (ODEP ratings can be found on odep.org.uk).
Innovative Design Orthopaedics is proud to remark that the Stemmed VERSO® has been used in the UK health system since 2014 and it has also been successfully distributed and implanted in other major international markets including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Australia, Israel, Greece, S. Africa and others.
This latest achievement, together with the increased awareness of the system and its acceptance by leading surgeons around the world, acknowledges the outstanding clinical results that the system has enjoyed.
The Verso® system was launched on the market in 2005 and was actively marketed from 2014 following its acquisition by Innovative Design Orthopaedics.
