The shoulder hemiarthroplasty is most often performed for one of three reasons. The first is an arthritic shoulder where the socket is not in bad condition, but the ball needs to be replaced. The second is in rotator cuff tear arthropathy, where a total should replacement would likely fail over time.
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty or replacement surgery is needed for complex shoulder problems, such as when the patient has a massive, irrepairable rotator cuff tear and has subsequently developed arthritis. Certain fractures in older patients are treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty as well.
