Reverse shoulder arthroplasty in recent proximal humerus fractures - 27/09/18
Abstract |
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is now the standard treatment for displaced, three- or four-part, proximal humeral fractures in patients older than 70 years. Inadequate tuberosity repair or inappropriate humeral stem position are associated with poorer outcomes, notably regarding rotation and stability. Strict operative technique during prosthesis implantation is therefore crucial to obtain reliable and reproducible outcomes. The objective of this article is to describe the surgical technique for reverse shoulder arthroplasty used to treat recent proximal humerus fractures.
