Learning Objectives
Accurately diagnose the underlying causes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty implant instability based on the patient history, physical examination findings, and appropriate imaging studies.
Develop and implement an effective treatment plan for a dislocated reverse shoulder arthroplasty implant, considering factors such as restoration of deltoid tension, revision of components, and removal of impinging tissue, with an understanding of when to perform prosthetic revision.
Recognize patient-related and implant-design risk factors for acromial fracture after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Apply appropriate surgical techniques for the management of acromial fractures after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Use the Vancouver classification system to categorize periprosthetic humerus fractures after reverse shoulder arthroplasty and to assess fracture stability.
Formulate comprehensive treatment strategies for periprosthetic humerus fractures, considering factors such as fracture location, implant type, stem length, bone stock, and patient-specific factors.
Effectively diagnose deep infections after reverse shoulder arthroplasty based on a complete patient workup, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level, joint aspiration, and imaging studies, and select one- or two-stage revision based on the severity and characteristics of the infection.
Assess and manage glenoid baseplate loosening in patients who have undergone reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Apply best practices for infection prevention in patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty based on current guidelines and consensus recommendations.
Critically evaluate various reverse shoulder arthroplasty implant designs and configurations.
