Summary
Dislocation of reverse shoulder arthroplasty with polyethylene liner dissociation requires open reduction. Radiographic clues, such as a subluxation appearance, help differentiate this from standard dislocations.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
- Radiology
Background:
- Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a common orthopedic procedure.
- Dislocation is a known complication of RSA.
- Polyethylene liner dissociation from the humeral tray is a rare but serious complication.
