ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We report here on a solution for the case of a 71 year old lady with cartilage destruction in the left shoulder and the loss of the rotator cuff secondary to post-septic arthritic sequelae. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
After thorough laboratory, clinical and radiological investigation of the patient to rule out any foci of active infection, we contemplated performing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty as a primary procedure.RESULTS:
At 22 months follow up, the patient had an excellent result according to the UCLA and ASES scales.CONCLUSION:
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty seems to be an efficient procedure to improve pain and function in the post-septic shoulder accompanying severe rotator cuff injury.
