More patients are becoming candidates for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), with an
increase in frequency of the procedure paralleling the increase in other total joint arthro-
plasties. TSA is indicated in the treatment of advanced primary and secondary arthritic
conditions of the shoulder after failure of nonoperative management. Studies have shown
survivorship rates comparable with other joint arthroplasties at short-, mid-, and long-term
follow-up, and substantial improvements in pain relief, patient satisfaction, and objective
measures, such as range of motion, strength, and shoulder outcome scores. Complications
can occur, however, and technical problems, such as component placement and fixation,
are prominent features among unsatisfactory arthroplasties. Therefore, appropriate surgi-
cal technique is essential in minimizing complications and maximizing functional outcomes
after shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this article is to review the indications, surgical
technique, and results of TSA. Careful patient selection, preoperative planning, surgical
technique, and postoperative management remain essential to a successful patient out-
come after TSA.

muscle fibers at approximately the level of the inferior edge of
the lesser tuberosity osteotomy, and a freer elevator is used to
enter the plane between the muscle and joint capsule. Replac-
ing the freer with progressively larger Cobb elevators allows
further development of this plane in a medial-lateral and
superior-inferior direction. The lesser tuberosity osteotomy
and attached subscapularis are then peeled away from the
anterior and inferior joint capsule, starting laterally while
pulling up on the osteotomy anteriorly. As the plane is de-
veloped medially, care must be taken not to button hole
through the subscapularis muscle belly. Once the subscapu-
laris has been adequately freed from the joint capsule, it can
be placed deep to the self-retaining retractor, leaving the
anterior capsule behind to be released.
The anterior joint capsule is taken down from its insertion
on the anatomic neck of the humerus, starting proximally at
the rotator interval. As the capsule is released inferiorly, care
should be taken to protect the axillary nerve. A blunt Hohm-
ann retractor can be placed between the inferior capsule and
the remaining, inferior muscular insertion of the subscapu-
laris to keep the nerve protected. Flexion and external rota-

The arm is brought back into adduction, external rotation,

reamer is used to enter the intramedullary canal from the cut
surface of the humerus. Typically the entry point is slightly
lateral, approximately 1-1.5 cm posterior to the bicipital
groove. The canal is then opened up with sequentially larger
reamers until cortical contact is achieved. Each reamer
should be aimed centrally down the canal, with care not to
ream in a varus or valgus position. A box osteotome is next
used to set the version of the stem in the humeral canal,
followed by placement of the appropriately sized broach. A
calcar reamer can be used to fine tune the cut humeral sur-
face, reaming away any remnant bone so the cut is flush to the
broach and flush with the rotator cuff insertion. Trial heads
are placed to assess for appropriate coverage of the cut hu-
