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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
