Shoulder Elbow

Article Synopsis
- This text discusses the effectiveness and risks of revising failed shoulder surgeries using total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), especially in comparison to reverse prostheses which have been more successful in revisions.
- A systematic review analyzed 13 studies with 312 patients, finding that 39% had complications and 12% needed further revision. Several clinical outcomes improved post-surgery, but they weren't statistically significant.
- The study concludes that while revision to TSA can be suitable for some patients, the high complication rates and specific challenges like glenoid loosening limit its overall viability as a revision option.
