Abstract

The history of shoulder replacements goes back over 100 years. In 1893, Péan, a French surgeon, performed the first documented implantation of shoulder prosthesis. It was fashioned from platinum and rubber and inserted into a 37-year-old baker with tubercular arthritis. Unfortunately, it had to be removed after only 2 years, due to recurrence of the infection. Interestingly, one of the first X-ray machines to be developed helped detect an overwhelming reactive process in this patient.
