Summary
Shoulder arthroplasty procedures are increasing, with evolving prostheses and preoperative planning. Understanding these changes aids in assessing hardware complications and managing patient recovery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
- Radiology
Background:
- Increasing incidence of shoulder arthroplasty procedures over the past decade.
- Evolution in shoulder prosthesis designs and surgical techniques.
- Advancements in preoperative planning and imaging modalities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the main types of shoulder prostheses currently in use.
- To discuss essential radiologic studies for preoperative planning.
- To describe common complications following shoulder arthroplasty.
Main Methods:
- Review of current literature on shoulder arthroplasty prostheses.
- Analysis of recommended preoperative imaging protocols.
- Compilation of known postoperative hardware complications.
Main Results:
- Detailed overview of various shoulder prosthesis designs.
- Guidelines for appropriate preoperative imaging selection.
- Identification and description of frequent complications.
Conclusions:
- Familiarity with evolving prosthesis designs is crucial for effective postoperative assessment.
- Optimized preoperative imaging enhances surgical planning and outcomes.
- Awareness of common complications facilitates timely management.

The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...
