Abstract

During the last decade the use of Reverse Shoulder Replacement as first line treatment for massive rotator cuff tears with or without cuff arthropathy has increased worryingly. It is a beautiful operation that may provide excellent results in terms of pain relief and function however as any joint replacement one should always think about revision. In our Upper Limb Department, familiarity with Reverse Shoulder Replacements was not an excuse not to first try arthroscopic repair of massive cuff tears, a technically demanding procedure that we believe can delay the need for a replacement.
