Three-Part Fractures and Fracture-Dislocations KENNETH A. EGOLAND KENNETH J. KOVAL Proximal humerus fractures are common fractures and account for 10% of fractures in patients over age 65.1 Understanding the anatomy…
One-Part Fractures STEVEN S. SHIN AND JOSEPH D. ZUCKERMAN Fractures about the shoulder make up 5% of all fractures.1 Among patients aged 15 to 64, proximal humerus fractures make up…
CHAPTER 40 Glenoid Component Problems with the glenoid are a common indication for revision arthroplasty. Such problems include failure of previously implanted glenoid components from total shoulder arthroplasty and osseous…
CHAPTER 3 Operating Room Setup This chapter outlines the organization of the operating room used for shoulder arthroplasty. Organization of the arthroplasty surgical suite focuses on the cor-rect position of…
CHAPTER 29 Glenoid Component Unlike cases of unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty, in which placement of a glenoid component is optional, the glenoid component must be placed during reverse shoulder arthroplasty. As…
CHAPTER 39 Humeral Component Reconstruction of the proximal humerus can be a very difficult aspect of revision shoulder arthroplasty. During extraction of the previous humeral stem, every effort should be…
CHAPTER 38 Humeral Stem Removal and Glenoid Exposure Humeral stem removal can be simple or one of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of revision shoulder arthroplasty. Preoperative planning becomes…
CHAPTER 33 Humeral Surface Replacement The advantage of complete surface replacement of the humeral head lies mainly in preservation of subchondral bone.1 In our practice, few situations exist in which…
CHAPTER 28 Humeral Component Humeral preparation and implantation of the humeral component of a reverse prosthesis are in some ways easier than with unconstrained arthroplasty. In many cases for which…
CHAPTER 24 Indications and Contraindications Reintroduction of reverse-design shoulder arthro-plasty has added a powerful device to the shoulder surgeon’s armamentarium. Reverse ball-and-socket shoulder prostheses were initially introduced in the 1960s…
