Introduction

Glenohumeral arthrodesis used to be a favored surgical treatment option for patients with paralysis of the shoulder due to an underlying neurological pathology, massive rotator cuff tears, fracture sequelae, chronic instability, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and infection.

Surgical Indication

Currently, glenohumeral arthrodesis has its place as a rather rare salvage procedure for selected patients with above diagnoses, malignant tumors or failed shoulder arthroplasty.
