Abstract
This chapter describes a case of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) that failed for periprosthetic joint infection associated with instability of the implant. Two-stage revision surgery with another RSA required subsequent revision for recurrent instability treated by polyethylene augmentation to improve stability of the implant. The last procedure was successful and restored function and range of motion allowed the patient to carry out the majority of his daily activities.
