All design considerations in shoulder arthroplasty are based on reconstructing normal
anatomy and enhancing prosthetic fixation, particularly on the glenoid side. These goals are …

Total shoulder arthroplasty is a potent means of enhancing the lives of those afflicted with
debilitating arthritis of the glenohumeral joint. Advances in prosthetic design allow improved …

Modular total shoulder systems offer many advantages over nonmodular designs.
Modularity facilitates precise placement of the humeral head with respect to the rotator cuff …

Total shoulder replacements should, as far as possible, be designed after normal anatomy.
A small mismatch in curvature between the humeral head and glenoid surfaces may reduce …

The concept and design of a cemented unconstrained total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA),
introduced by Charles Neer II 25 years ago, has been successful in the management of …

One hundred consecutive Biomet modular shoulder arthroplasties were studied
prospectively and were evaluated with a minimum 2-year follow-up (average 41 months) …

Several categories of factors influence the outcome of prosthetic reconstruction of the
shoulder (Table 1). Among these categories are the nature and degree of shoulder …

In total shoulder replacement the result is highly dependent upon the integrity or
reconstructability of the muscles, tendons, and capsule, as well as the experience of the …

The first modern shoulder arthroplasty with an anatomic shape was implanted by Krueger in
1950. The modern era of shoulder replacement dawned with the pioneering work of Neer …

Shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for certain proximal humerus fractures and
for glenohumeral arthritis. The indications for shoulder arthroplasty are fairly well defined …
