A reverse shoulder replacement is an artificial joint where the orientation of the joint is changed such that an artificial ball is fixed to the shoulder blade and a socket is fixed to the humerus. The ball of the joint provides a fulcrum that improves the mechanical efficiency of the deltoid muscle. The procedure is performed to treat rotator cuff tear arthropathy, a condition of the shoulder where arthritis develops against the background of severe rotator cuff deficiency. The operation may also be offered to patients who have inability to lift up the arm as a result of severe rotator cuff deficiency \u2013 sometimes referred to as \u201cpseudoparalysis\u201d of the shoulder. It may occasionally be performed for fractures around the shoulder or to replace (or revise) a failed shoulder replacement.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The procedure is performed under a combination of general and regional anaesthesia. The shoulder joint is exposed. The bones on either side of the joint are prepared, a metal \u201cball\u201d is fixed to the native socket with screws and a \u201csocket\u201d on a stem is fixed to the humerus, usually with bone cement.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The main benefit of the procedure is to relieve pain and improve the range of movements. This is often associated with an improvement in the function of the joint and ability to use the arm.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u039c\u03cc\u03bb\u03c5\u03bd\u03c3\u03b7<\/strong>\u00a0(3-5 %) – Antibiotics are routinely used as a preventive measure.<\/p>

Instability\u00a0<\/strong>(4-6%) The artificial shoulder can sometimes slip out of place. This may require relocation with manipulation under anaesthesia or rarely further surgery.<\/p>

Thromboembolism<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 It is possible to get venous clots in the arm, legs or the lungs. Preventive measures are employed during and after surgery.<\/p>

\u03a4\u03c1\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b5\u03cd\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5<\/strong>\u00a0(1-2%) – Specific precautions are taken during surgery to protect the nerves but injury to the axillary nerve is possible. In most instances this will recover on its own over a period of time.<\/p>

Deltoid muscle failure<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This has been reported but is uncommon.<\/p>

Lengthening of the arm<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The operated arm may become slightly longer after the operation.<\/p>

Fracture<\/strong>\u00a0(2-3%) \u2013 Fractures of the humerus or the glenoid may occur during or after the operation. In rare instances stress fractures of the scapular spine may occur.<\/p>

Persistence of symptoms<\/strong>\u2013 Occasionally a degree of pain or weakness of the shoulder may persist for some months. If these symptoms fail to resolve, then further investigation or treatment may be necessary.<\/p>

Wear and Loosening<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Artificial joints can wear over time and occasionally work loose. This may lead to further surgery.<\/p>

Revision<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Surgery to replace the artificial joint may occasionally be required if the joint works loose or develops other problems.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Following the procedure the surgical incision will be closed with sutures and covered with a dressing. The dressing should be left undisturbed as far as possible for 10-14 days. If the dressing is removed for any reason this should be replaced with a similar dressing. A sling will be provided to support the arm, but may be removed intermittently as tolerated during meal times, while showering \/ changing and when resting. A physiotherapist will provide instructions about mobilising the shoulder prior to discharge from hospital. Outpatient physiotherapy is usually started no later than a week after surgery.<\/p>
