Glenoid Component
CHAPTER 12 Glenoid Component Historically, the glenoid component has been the “weak link” of shoulder replacement. In addition to being the most difficult part of the surgical procedure, the glenoid…
Preoperative Planning and Imaging
CHAPTER 25 Preoperative Planning and Imaging Reintroduction of the reverse-design prosthesis has allowed surgeons to treat complicated shoulder pathology for which no good solution existed before availability of this implant….
Results and Complications
CHAPTER 16 Results and Complications The results of unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty have been reported by multiple investigators. The results vary predominantly according to the underlying indication for which the arthroplasty…
Preoperative Planning and Imaging
CHAPTER 18 Preoperative Planning and Imaging Preoperative planning is important for all shoulder arthroplasty indications, but it is most crucial for fracture cases. Although proximal humeral anatomy may be somewhat…
Anesthesia, Patient Positioning, and Patient Preparation
CHAPTER 4 Anesthesia, Patient Positioning, and Patient Preparation This chapter reviews the anesthesia used for shoulder replacement surgery. Additionally, proper patient positioning and surgical preparation and draping are described. ANESTHESIA…
Tuberosity Reduction and Fixation
CHAPTER 21 Tuberosity Reduction and Fixation Greater and lesser tuberosity complications are primary obstacles to achieving a satisfactory result after unconstrained arthroplasty for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.1 Tuberosity…
Reduction and Deltoid Tensioning
CHAPTER 30 Reduction and Deltoid Tensioning Perhaps the most important and yet most subjective portion of the surgical technique for implantation of a reverse prosthesis is proper tensioning of the…
Rehabilitation after Shoulder Arthroplasty
CHAPTER 43 Rehabilitation after Shoulder Arthroplasty The goal of rehabilitation after shoulder arthroplasty is restoration of functional shoulder mobility in timely fashion. Biologic factors impose limitations in achieving mobility after…
Results and Complications
CHAPTER 42 Results and Complications The results of revision shoulder arthroplasty are as variable as the indications for which it is performed. In general, outcomes after revision shoulder arthroplasty are…
Wound Closure and Postoperative Orthosis
CHAPTER 31 Wound Closure and Postoperative Orthosis The final steps in the operative procedure are wound closure and placement of the postoperative orthosis. Wound closure after implantation of a reverse…
