Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty as Treatment for Rotator Cuff-Tear Arthropathy and Shoulder Dislocations in an Elderly Male with Parkinson’s Disease

Figure 4

Anterior-posterior (a) and axillary lateral (b) radiographs of our patient’s shoulder at two years after the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The arrow in image (a) indicates the glenoid notch that has formed, though no component loosing or migration has occurred. Similar findings of relatively high rates of glenoid notching are reported in PD patients [12] and in wheelchair-bound patients without PD [13].
