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.[1][2]

Biomechanics

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.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Discussion

In selected patients, glenohumeral arthrodesis can significantly reduce pain and achieve at best a reasonable function and subjective satisfaction rate. Revision rates favor plate over isolated screw fixation.[11]
