Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Practical Approach (EPUB)

Masterful Insights on Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

Get valuable clinical insights on reverse shoulder arthroplasty from top experts in this masterful book. This work is the result of years of biomechanical and clinical research that led to key improvements in functional outcomes and implant durability. Discover how stronger polyethylene derivatives, better ingrowth technology, and improved connection devices have contributed to making shoulder arthroplasty the fastest growing implant technology.

In the first two sections of the book, the authors take the reader through the history and evolution of RSA, followed by detailed surgical techniques for specific injuries and conditions. The next three sections discuss past and recent outcomes, complications, and rehabilitation. The last section covers special considerations, patient-specific instrumentation, convertible humeral and glenoid components, and the potential of stemless humeral technology.
