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…
Indications and Contraindications
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…
Future Directions in Shoulder Arthroplasty
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,…
Preoperative Planning and Imaging
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…
Surgical Approach
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…
