In part II of this comprehensive review on the optimization of reverse shoulder arthroplasty
(RSA), we focus on three other challenges: 1.“Conservation of sufficient subacromial and …

Fractures of the acromion and the scapular spine are established complications of reverse
shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), and when they occur, the continuous strain by the deltoid along …

Background Fractures of the acromion and spine can have a major impact on the outcome of
reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with respect to pain, motion, and function. Reports on …

Fractures of the scapular spine are relatively rare and can occur without (1) or with (2)
association to a reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). To date there are only limited data on …

Over 35 years ago, the pioneer Paul Grammont from Lyon published his ideas of a reversed
semi-constraint prosthesis improving the moment arm of the deltoid by medializing the …

Objective Stress fractures of the scapular spine are often a consequence of reverse shoulder
arthroplasty (RSA) reconstruction. Knowledge of the morphology and strength of the …

Background The biomechanical changes and treatment guidelines on acromial fracture after
reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) are still not well understood. The purpose of our study …

Background Acromion and scapular spine fractures (ASFs) following reverse total shoulder
arthroplasty (RSA) have been reported at a rate of 3.9%. The location of the fracture has …

An 85-year-old male underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for a displaced
acromion stress fracture that occurred two years prior. The complete fracture occurred two …

Six months after undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) a 73-year-old woman
sustained a periprosthetic scapular spine fracture following a fall. She was treated with open …
