For patients over 70 with non-functioning rotator cuffs, reversed shoulder prostheses can reduce pain and improve movement. However, potential complications require careful preoperative discussion.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Biomedical engineering

Background:

Non-functioning rotator cuff in elderly patients often necessitates surgical intervention.
Reversed shoulder prosthesis is indicated for specific geriatric orthopedic conditions.

Observation:

An 84-year-old woman with rotator cuff arthropathy underwent reversed shoulder prosthesis implantation.
A 76-year-old man with a proximal humerus fracture received a reversed shoulder prosthesis.

Findings:

The reversed shoulder prosthesis effectively decreased pain in both patients.
The prosthesis also led to an improved range of movement for both individuals.

Implications:

Reversed shoulder arthroplasty offers significant functional benefits for elderly patients with rotator cuff deficiency.
