Shoulder Arthroplasty: Prosthetic Options and Indications
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 07/02/09
Wiater JM et al. - The disparate pathogenesis of these processes presents unique challenges to the treating surgeon and requires diagnosis-specific treatment options, whether involving hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty, or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Until recently, prosthesis options were limited to a stemmed humeral component with or without a polyethylene glenoid component. The array of prosthetic options currently available allows individualized treatment.
