Abstract

Survival of the anatomical shoulder arthroplasty depends on the implant and on the technique of implantation. The most common causes of failure of anatomical shoulder arthroplasty, regardless of design and surgical technique, are infection, allergy, instability, stiffness, rotator cuff tears, peri-prosthetic fractures, and glenoid erosions. Even if great effort is made to improve the design and quality of the materials of the prostheses, methods of implantation of a TSA remain of paramount importance. However, it should be reminded that prosthetic shoulder surgery is a soft tissue surgery. Surgical approach is important to restore the anatomy. Soft tissue balance is the key to success.
