Complications of shoulder arthroplasty

TL;DR: Failed shoulder arthroplasty can be successfully managed with revision surgery, but the technically challenging surgery and the overall results are inferior compared with other diagnostic categories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complications in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

TL;DR: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was initially used to manage complex shoulder problems, but indications have been expanded to include rotator cuff arthropathy, massive rotators cuff tear, failed shoulder ar Throplasty, and fracture sequelae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complications of Shoulder Arthroplasty.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed articles published between 1996 and 2005 pertaining to anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and revealed 414 complication events after 2,810 total shoulder replacements (a rate of 14.7%).
Journal ArticleDOI

The incidence of shoulder arthroplasty: rise and future projections compared with hip and knee arthroplasty.

TL;DR: The number of shoulder arthroplasties has been increasing in recent years, largely because of the exponential increases in RSA, and the overall incidence is increasing at a greater rate than TKA or THA, with projections continuing to rise over the next decade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in patients aged younger than 60 years

TL;DR: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty can improve shoulder function in a younger, complex patient population with poor preoperative functional ability, and longer-term studies are required to determine whether similar results are maintained over time.

Fatty muscle degeneration in cuff ruptures. Pre- and postoperative evaluation by CT scan

TL;DR: A preoperative computed tomography scan grading muscular fatty degeneration in five stages was done in 63 patients scheduled for repair of a torn rotator cuff, finding that infraspinatus degeneration had a highly negative influence on the outcome of suprasp inatus repairs.

Radiographic Evaluation of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Related Conditions by Standard Reference Films

TL;DR: Standard reference films are introduced for evaluation of rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions in the extremity joints and numerical evaluation of arthritis is given for individual joints in a patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fatty degeneration of the muscles of the rotator cuff: Assessment by computed tomography versus magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: The degree of fatty degeneration was significantly related to the amount of atrophy of the respective muscles and the classification system was simplified with only a 3- rather than a 5-grade scale as originally proposed.

Grammont reverse prosthesis: design, rationale, and biomechanics.

TL;DR: The Grammont reverse prosthesis offers a true surgical option in several situations where only limited possibilities were previously available: cuff tear arthrosis, persistent shoulder pseudo-paralysis due to a massive and irreparable cuff tear, severe fracture sequelae, prosthetic revision in a cuff-deficient shoulder, and tumor surgery.
