Abstract

The incidence of revision shoulder arthroplasty is continuing to rise. The leading cause of failure of primary arthroplasty is glenoid component failure but additional causes include glenoid loosening or erosion, humeral component loosening, instability, infection, or soft tissue failure. When considering revision shoulder arthroplasty, meticulous preoperative evaluation is imperative, and all revisions should undergo infection work-up. Analysis of bone loss is crucial for pre-operative planning. Outcomes following revision shoulder arthroplasty are generally considered inferior to initial arthroplasty; however, patients typically will report improvements in pain and function.
