CHAPTER 6 Indications and Contraindications Indications for unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty can be divided into arthroplasty performed for acute fracture and arthroplasty performed for chronic shoulder disease. This chapter focuses on…
CHAPTER 44 Future Directions in Shoulder Arthroplasty Shoulder arthroplasty has advanced immeasurably since the first shoulder replacement was implanted by Péan in 1893.1 Implant designs continue to evolve and improve,…
CHAPTER 7 Preoperative Planning and Imaging Although the majority of cases of unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty are routine, certain patients have unique characteristics that merit special consideration. Preoperative planning identifies patients…
CHAPTER 37 Surgical Approach All revision shoulder arthroplasty in our practice is performed through a deltopectoral approach. The utilitarian nature of this approach makes it ideal for use in revision…
CHAPTER 36 Preoperative Planning, Imaging, and Special Tests Revision shoulder arthroplasty is more challenging overall than primary shoulder arthroplasty. Preoperative planning for a revision arthroplasty case is critically important and…
CHAPTER 34 Biologic Glenoid Resurfacing Biologic resurfacing of the glenoid has been performed with various materials, including fascia lata autograft, fascia lata allograft, meniscal allograft, and Achilles tendon allograft.1 The…
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…
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….
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…
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…
