Abstract
Massive and irreparable loss of rotator cuff tendon integrity can be associated with the development of glenohumeral and acromiohumeral arthritis. Loss of glenohumeral instability provided by the rotator cuff may initiate and perpetuate this unique condition of the shoulder. Proximal humeral replacement arthroplasty is the preferred surgical treatment; special techniques of this procedure are presented. Patients are gratified by the durable restoration of comfort and, to a lesser extent, function.
