What is Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty?
In a standard shoulder replacement, the ball of the joint is replaced with a prosthetic ball and the socket with a prosthetic socket. In reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the positions are switched — a metal ball is attached to the shoulder blade and a socket is attached to the upper arm bone. This design allows the deltoid muscle, instead of the damaged rotator cuff, to power the arm.
Who Needs Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty?
This procedure is often recommended for patients with:
- Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears
- Severe shoulder arthritis with rotator cuff deficiency (cuff tear arthropathy)
- Complex shoulder fractures
- Failed previous shoulder replacements
- Chronic shoulder instability and weakness
Benefits of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
- Significant pain reduction
- Restored ability to lift the arm overhead
- Improved shoulder stability and strength
- Effective even in absence of rotator cuff function
- Long-lasting improvement in daily activities
