What is Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty?
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a specialized joint replacement technique where the natural ball-and-socket positions of the shoulder joint are reversed (the artificial ball is attached to the shoulder blade, and the socket is placed on the arm bone).
This approach is typically recommended for patients suffering from:
- Severe shoulder arthritis combined with rotator cuff tear arthropathy.
- Irreparable rotator cuff damage.
- Complex shoulder fractures or failed previous shoulder surgeries.
Because the procedure relies on the deltoid muscle rather than the rotator cuff to move the arm, it requires precise surgical technique, thorough knowledge of shoulder biomechanics, and careful patient selection to achieve optimal outcomes.
