Hemiarthroplasty for glenohumeral arthritis with massive rotator cuff tears

J DiGiovanni et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 1998 Jul.

Abstract

Rotator cuff deficiency with associated glenohumeral arthritis poses a formidable clinical challenge. Humeral head replacement with maintenance of the coracoacromial arch is the current treatment of choice. Properly performed arthroplasty can provide pain relief and modest gains in motion.
