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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
