Soft Tissue Management in Shoulder Arthroplasty

Brandon Anthony Romero et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 2022 Jul.

Abstract

Total shoulder arthroplasty is a rapidly growing field, with more procedures performed each year. An important aspect of shoulder arthroplasty surgery is the management of soft tissues. Good functional outcomes in shoulder arthroplasty are significantly dependent on the repair of the rotator cuff tendons and proper release of the shoulder capsule. The success of any shoulder arthroplasty is predicated upon the meticulous handling of these tissues. The surgeon's ability to execute appropriate soft tissue techniques will facilitate easier surgery by increasing exposure and lead to better outcomes for the patient.

Keywords: Reverse; Rotator cuff; Shoulder arthroplasty; Soft tissue; Subscapularis repair.
