Q

What is a consideration if the subscapularis tendon is respected and then repaired through the deltopectoral approach

A

Requrires slow progression of ROM into ER and delayed IR strengthening

If the mm is anchored in a shortened position then shoulder alignment and mobility is affected

Q

What does a reverse TSA involve the switching of

A

The humeral head prosthetic component wiht the glenoid component —> this lengthens the lever arm during mm activation allowing for increased deltoid activation and limited RC engagement

Bigger head= decrease mobility , but increased stability vise versa
