Objective To review the recent research progress on shoulder arthroplasty, and to predict future research direction. Methods Recent l iterature concerned the shoulder arthroplasty was reviewed and analyzed in terms of appl iedanatomy, designs of prosthesis, patterns of prosthesis and fixation ways of prosthesis. Results The shoulder arthroplastyrepresented the treatments of choice for the patients with end-stage shoulder diseases and traumatic diseases. It could provide good and stable results in pain rel ief and functional outcomes. Conclusion There are still many controversies about the patterns of prosthesis, fixation ways and kinds of materials in cl inical practice. Currently, the main research is about the designs of the glenoid prosthesis and the cl inical practice in young patients.
ObjectiveTo summarize the procedures of the shoulder arthroplasty and the evolution of the shoulder prosthesis, and to discuss the indications and contraindications of the several common shoulder arthroplastis. MethodsThe related literature on shoulder arthroplasty was extensively reviewed, summarized, and analyzed. ResultsAt present, shoulder arthroplasties can be classified into shoulder hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty, resurfacing shoulder arthroplasty, stemless shoulder arthroplasty, and reserve shoulder arthroplasty, etc. Each type of the prosthesis has several special indications and contraindications. Mostly, the shoulder arthroplasties achieved the satisfied results, such as pain-relief and restoration of the elevation and adduction of shoulder. The survival rate of the most shoulder prostheses may reach 10 years or more. ConclusionMost shoulder arthroplasties are effective and satisfied to treat the shoulder traumas and diseases in pain-free and functional restoration of shoulders.
In recent years, the development of artificial shoulder arthroplasty has been rapid, but postoperative patients often have problems such as joint swelling, pain, activity limitation, muscle strength decline and various complications, which need to be accompanied by standardized and correct rehabilitation treatment. In this paper, we review the postoperative rehabilitation treatment program of artificial shoulder arthroplasty, the selection of the timing of rehabilitation treatment, the continuity treatment of rehabilitation and the rehabilitation strategies to improve the clinical efficacy in the postoperative period, with a view to providing reference and basis for the development of a reasonable rehabilitation program for postoperative patients.
