Operative treatment with Reversed Total Shoulder Prosthesis
The standardized approach is the delto-pectoral to minimize any damage of the deltoid muscle. A cemented monoblock humeral stem will be implanted. Braided polyester suture-cerclages engaging the insertion of the subscapular and infraspinatus tendons enforced by a bonegraft or a "horseshoe-graft" from the humeral head will be used
