Glenoid Component
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…
Humeral Component
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…
Humeral Stem Removal and Glenoid Exposure
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…
Humeral Surface Replacement
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…
Humeral Component
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…
Indications and Contraindications
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…
Indications and Contraindications
CHAPTER 35 Indications and Contraindications Just as with hip and knee arthroplasty, as the volume of shoulder arthroplasties performed each year increases, so will the number of patients requiring revision…
Results and Complications
CHAPTER 32 Results and Complications Reports on the results of reverse shoulder arthroplasty are becoming more common as implantation of this type of shoulder arthroplasty increases. The results vary predominantly…
Humeral Prosthetic Positioning
CHAPTER 20 Humeral Prosthetic Positioning Humeral prosthetic positioning remains the most difficult step in performing unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty for fracture. Placing the humeral component excessively proud or in excessive retroversion…
Humeral Component
CHAPTER 11 Humeral Component For unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty, both cemented and uncemented humeral stemmed components are available (Figs. 11-1 and 11-2). The incidence of aseptic loosening of cemented humeral stems…
