Open Unconstrained Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Revision shoulder arthroplasty using an unconstrained prosthesis can be a difficult procedure without the appropriate preoperative evaluation and planning. A thorough history including investigation into prior surgeries and, if obtainable, radiographic imaging can help elucidate the possible reasons for prosthetic failure. This information can help guide the choice of revision implant and, if needed, obtain the appropriate extraction devices and tools. In this chapter, the authors outline their current algorithm for approaching these often complex cases.
