  2. Reverse shoulder replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_shoulder_replacement

    Originally considered a salvage procedure, the combination of improved design features and excellent clinical outcome data has led to reverse shoulder replacement largely replacing shoulder hemiarthroplasty for most indications, [3] and even challenging conventional anatomic shoulder replacement in many countries as the most commonly performed ...

    The development of safer, more effective techniques have led to the increased use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. [4] Reverse total shoulder arthroplasties are typically indicated when the rotator cuff muscles are severely damaged. [14] There are a few major approaches for reverse total shoulder arthroplasties. The first is the ...

    Depending on the condition of the shoulder and the specific expectations of the patient, surgical options include total shoulder joint replacement arthroplasty, ‘ream and run’ (humeral hemiarthroplasty with non prosthetic glenoid arthroplasty , and reverse (Delta) total shoulder joint replacement arthroplasty. Research has shown similar ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear

    People diagnosed with glenohumeral arthritis and rotator cuff anthropathy have the alternative of total shoulder arthroplasty, if the cuff is largely intact or repairable. If the cuff is incompetent, a reverse shoulder arthroplasty is available and, although not as robust a prosthesis, does not require an intact cuff to maintain a stable joint.
