Abstract

Revision shoulder arthroplasty is a demanding procedure that usually involves not only component revision, but also the complex reconstruction of soft tissue contracture, muscle deficiency, and bone loss. Although clinical results of revision shoulder arthroplasty are, in general, inferior to primary shoulder arthroplasty, careful patient selection and adherence to surgical principles can lead to satisfactory results.
