Replacement of humeral head and glenoid resurfacing, cemented all-polyethylene glenoid resurfacing is standard of care, Total shoulder arthroplasty unique from THA and TKA in that, if rotator cuff is deficient and proximal migration of humerus is seen on x-rays (rotator cuff arthropathy) then glenoid resurfacing is contraindicated, if there is an irreparable rotator cuff deficiency then proceed with hemiarthroplasty or a reverse ball prosthesis, an isolated supraspinatus tear without retraction can proceed with TSA, incidence of full thickness rotator cuff tears in patients getting a TSA is 5% to 10%, if positive impingement signs on exam, order a pre-operative MRI, if glenoid is eroded down to coracoid process then glenoid resurfacing is contraindicated, pain relief most predictive benefit (more predictable than hemiarthroplasty), good longevity with cemented and press-fit humeral components, worse results for post-capsulorrhaphy arthropathy, Concentric wear, no subluxation of HH, well centered, Biconcave glenoid, asymmetric glenoid wear and head subluxated posteriorly, Glenoid anteversion or anterior HH subluxation (HH subluxation <40%), pain (anterior to posterior), especially at night, and inability to perform activities of daily living, preferred over hemiarthroplasty for osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis, irreparable rotator cuff (hemiarthroplasty or reverse total shoulder are preferable), risk of loosening of the glenoid prosthesis is high ("rocking horse" phenomenon), determine extent of arthritis and look for superior migration of humerus, detach the subscapularis and capsule from anterior humerus, tight shoulders may require release of the upper half of the pectoralis tendon to increase exposure and dislocation, pectoralis major tendon passes on top of the biceps tendon to attach to the humerus, axillary nerve damage is the most common complication, axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex artery pass beneath the glenohumeral joint in the quadrilateral space, volume-reducing procedure (plication of posterior capsule), no differences in outcomes between subscapularis peel, lesser tuberosity osteotomy, subscapularis tenotomy, partial tenotomy, build up with iliac crest autograft or part of the resected humerus, do not use cement to build up the deficiency, glenoid not large enough to accommodate both metal and PE, both have advantages and neither is superior, cemented stem or uncemented porous-coated implants, if position of glenoid retroversion is required, then the humeral stem should be less retroverted to avoid posterior dislocation, increases joint reaction forces and tension on the rotator cuff, the top of the humeral head should be 5 to 8 mm superior to the top of the greater tuberosity, if minimally displaced, insert a standard humeral prosthesis with suture fixation and autogenous cancellous bone grafting of the greater tuberosity fracture, remove prosthesis and add longer stem with cement and reinforce with cerclage wiring, Passive or active-assisted motion only during early rehab, limiting factor in early postoperative rehabilitation is risk of injury to the subscapularis tendon repair, risk of tear and pull-off of subscapularis tendon from anterior humerus, tear leads to anterior shoulder instability (most common form of instability after TSA), treatment of subscapularis pull-off is early exploration and repair of tendon, inability to put hand in back pants pockets or tuck shirt behind the back, avoid pushing out of chair during acute rehab, most common cause of TSA failure (30% of primary OA revisions), insufficient glenoid bone stock (posterior glenoid wear associated with glenoid loosening), 2.9% reoperation rate for loosening (28% with revision), presence of radiographic lines does not correlate with symptoms, progression of a radiographic line does correlate with symptoms, progression present in 50% of patients as early as 3 to 4 years after TSA, radiolucency around the glenoid does not always correlate with clinical failure, at 3- and 7-year follow-up did not correlate with poor functional outcomes or pain, failure due to undiagnosed presence of rotator cuff tears, Iatrogenic rotator cuff injury/attritional rotator cuff tear, humeral neck osteotomy is inferior to level of rotator cuff insertion, overstuffing glenohumeral joint leading to attritional supraspinatus and subscapularis tears, common reason for conversion to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, most common cause of indolent infections and implant failures, has high bacterial burden around the shoulder, forms biofilm within 18-90h (found on implant surface and on synovial tissue) >> planktonic (explains why aspiration is only 17% sensitive), use anaerobic culture bottles, keep for 10-14days (mean time to detection 6 days), imaging (XR, CT, ultrasound) positive for subluxation/loosening in 24% of cases, early infection (<6 weeks) can be treated with open irrigation and debridement, late infection (>6 weeks) should be treated by explant and 2-stage reimplantation after IV antibiotic (penicillin G, ceftriaxone, clindamycin, vanco) x 6wk, followed by 2-6mths of PO antibiotic, musculocutaneous nerve can be injured by retractor placement under conjoint tendon, acceptable fragment alignment 20 flexion/extension, 30 varus/valgus, 20 rotation malalignment, Wright & Cofield Classification of Periprosthetic fracture, Centered near the tip of the stem and extends proximally, Span fracture with standard length prosthesis (2-3 cortical
