Treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy with a reversed Delta shoulder prosthesis.
The treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy is still a matter of debate. Up to now a hemiarthroplasty was usually used. We report the results obtained with a reversed shoulder prosthesis (Delta prosthesis, De Puy) in seven patients with severe rotator cuff arthropathy. The mean Constant score increased from 17.9/100 preoperatively to 56.7/100 postoperatively. The mean follow-up was 16 months. Loo...
متن کاملPolyethylene Wear in Anatomic and Reversed Shoulder Prostheses
INTRODUCTION: Polyethylene wear is a recurrent problem in joint arthroplasty. In addition to permanent deformation or complete destruction of the component, small debris particles are also associated to inflammation reaction of the surrounding bone, eventually leading to the failure of the bound between the implant and the host bone, and implant loosening. In anatomic total shoulder arthroplast...
متن کاملRevision of shoulder replacement with a reversed shoulder prosthesis (Delta III): report of five cases.
The authors report on their experience in revision total shoulder arthroplasty using the Delta III shoulder prosthesis, a reversed constrained prosthesis which is known to give good functional results in the rotator cuff-deficient shoulder. It was implanted in patients with a failed total or hemishoulder prosthesis. The Constant-Murley score was used to assess the functional outcome. The prelim...
متن کاملComparison of polyethylene wear in anatomical and reversed shoulder prostheses.
Wear of polyethylene is associated with aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants and has been observed in hip and knee prostheses and anatomical implants for the shoulder. The reversed shoulder prostheses have not been assessed as yet. We investigated the volumetric polyethylene wear of the reversed and anatomical Aequalis shoulder prostheses using a mathematical musculoskeletal model. Movemen...
متن کاملReversed Revised: What to do when it goes wrong?
UNLABELLED Reversed total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has well known indications and good to excellent results are described in the literature. When the arthroplasty fails however, revision remains a technical challenge with many questions unanswered. To analyse retrospectively and consecutively the indications and results of primary RTSA-revision. All patients that underwent revision RTSA bet...
