Home Search Orthopaedics Search AMC Glenohumeral Arthroplasty Technique Glenohumeral arthroplasty provides the surgeon with the opportunity to use all the principles related to the restoration of motion, strength, stability, and smoothness. All adhesions and contractures must be released and the smoothness of the nonarticular humeroscapular motion interface must be reestablished. Obligate translation is avoided by appropriate capsular releases.
Strength is optimized by placing the muscle-tendon units under proper tension.
Stability is achieved by normalizing joint surface orientation and providing the appropriate geometry for the concavity compression stabilization and balance mechanisms. Smoothness is provided by the prosthetic joint surfaces and by immediate postoperative motion. This material is protected by copyright. Disclaimer Please honor our copyrights and disclaimer.
