Abstract

The technique for glenoid exposure is no less important for implantation of a reverse prosthesis than in cases of unconstrained total shoulder arthroplasty. In fact, certain aspects of reverse prosthesis cases may make glenoid exposure more difficult than in cases of unconstrained total shoulder arthroplasty. For example, static subluxation of the proximal humerus may increase the difficulty of proximal humeral retraction during glenoid exposure. This chapter highlights the keys to glenoid exposure during reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
