Prosthetic Arthroplasties in Weight-bearing Shoulders

Prosthetic Arthroplasties in Weight-bearing Shoulders in Individuals With Long-term Wheelchair Use

Repeated transfers and wheelchair propulsion in patients with neurological deficit of the lower limbs leads to a major mechanical overload of the upper limbs, especially on shoulders, the "weight-bearing" shoulder. Under these conditions, arthroplasty is subject to significant constraints; such an indication in this condition is always discussed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the medium-term clinical and functional outcomes of anatomical and reverse arthroplasty on the weight-bearing shoulder in individuals with long-term wheelchair use.
