Innovations in Reverse Shoulder Design Expand Indications and Improve Outcomes

[mtomaino]

Yesterday I saw a patient who has had severe Right shoulder pain for nearly 2 years since he underwent a shoulder hemiarthroplasty after a comminuted proximal humerus fracture.
Unfortunately his component is loose, and he has no function because his tuberosity fragments did not heal and resorbed.

I have attached his current xrays. This patient is an excellent candidate for revision to a Reverse design. In addition, he may benefit from th use of Humeral allograft. For more information on managing proximal humeral bone loss, visit this link:
