Abstract:
Degenerative changes of the shoulder are a common complication in patients after spinal cord injury. The main cause is chronic overload to the shoulder joint due to manual wheelchair propulsion and transfers. Reduced shoulder function has a significant impact on all aspects of daily life. Shoulder arthroplasty in this group of patients is a challenging procedure because of the unique demand on the shoulder. This report presents the case of a wheelchair user who additionally experienced a complete loss of sensation around her shoulder. As a result of a repetitive strain during transfers from the wheelchair to the ground, the humeral head was destroyed.
