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…
CHAPTER 42 Results and Complications The results of revision shoulder arthroplasty are as variable as the indications for which it is performed. In general, outcomes after revision shoulder arthroplasty are…
CHAPTER 31 Wound Closure and Postoperative Orthosis The final steps in the operative procedure are wound closure and placement of the postoperative orthosis. Wound closure after implantation of a reverse…
CHAPTER 2 Becoming a Shoulder Arthroplasty Surgeon Shoulder arthroplasty is much less frequently performed than hip and knee arthroplasty and accounts for only 3.1% of inpatient joint replacements in the…
CHAPTER 9 Subscapularis After the deltopectoral surgical approach is completed, the next step in performing unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty is management of the subscapularis musculotendinous unit. Various techniques for obtaining anterior…
CHAPTER 19 Surgical Approach and Handling of the Tuberosities SURGICAL APPROACH When performing shoulder arthroplasty for fracture, operating room setup, anesthesia, patient positioning, surgical site preparation, and sterile draping (Chapters…
CHAPTER 22 Wound Closure and Postoperative Orthosis The final steps of the operative procedure are wound closure and placement of the postoperative orthosis. The major difference from patients undergoing unconstrained…
CHAPTER 17 Indications and Contraindications The use of unconstrained humeral head replacement in acute fracture cases represents perhaps the most difficult indication for shoulder arthroplasty. Patients who are candidates for…
