Replacement arthroplasty of the rotator cuff deficient shoulder.
نویسنده
چکیده
The rotator cuff is often severely damaged in arthritis of the shoulder and there is no satisfactory technique for its repair. patients with a ruptured cuff and an eroded glenohumeral joint may have intractable pain, and standard methods of joint replacement are then inappropriate. A ball and socket prosthesis has been designed to replace the function of both the rotator cuff and the glenohumeral joint. Mechanical testing has shown that the scapular cup can be securely fixed. The outcome in 71 shoulders operated upon since 1973 is reported.

Characteristics of Rotator Cuff Repairs Revised to Shoulder Arthroplasty
Background: Successful repair of a torn rotator cuff may prevent progression to rotator cuff arthropathy. However,previous studies have shown a substantial rate of failure after rotator cuff repair and characteristics of surgicallyrepaired rotator cuffs that go on to shoulder arthroplasty have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study wasto determine the patient cha...

Treatment of rotator cuff deficient shoulders continues to evolve. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has proven effective for restoring forward elevation and abduction in patients who suffer from pseudoparalysis secondary to rotator cuff insufficiency. Unfortunately, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is less effective at restoring lost external rotation function in patients with deficient p...
متن کاملThe rotator cuff-deficient arthritic shoulder: diagnosis and surgical management.
The symptomatic rotator cuff-deficient, arthritic glenohumeral joint poses a complex problem for the orthopaedic surgeon. Surgical management can be facilitated by classifying the disorder in one of three diagnostic categories: (1) rotator cuff-tear arthropathy, (2) rheumatoid arthritic shoulder with cuff deficiency, or (3) degenerative arthritic (osteoarthritic) shoulder with cuff deficiency. ...
متن کاملA Finite Element Modeling Approach to Understanding Critical Mechanical Trade-offs in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
INTRODUCTION Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) holds increasing attraction as a means to reliably restore pain-free function to patients with glenohumeral arthritis who are rotator cuff-deficient [1]. RSA utilizes a reverse ball-in-socket design, with the humeral component as the socket and the glenoid component the ball (glenosphere), to medialize and distalize the humeral center of rotation...
متن کاملUncommon Indications for Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Total shoulder arthroplasty and shoulder hemiarthroplasty have been the traditional method for treating a variety of shoulder conditions, including arthritis, cuff tear arthropathy, and some fracture types. However, these procedures did not provide consistently good results for patients with torn rotator cuffs. The development of the reverse prosthesis by Grammont in the late 20th century revol...
