Abstract

INTRODUCTION Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is frequently associated with some amount of degenerative changes in the rotator cuff tendons, especially in the supraspinatus. Consequently, a partial dysfunction of the cuff may be observed after prosthetic shoulder replacement. This situation could preclude the survival of the implant. The aim of this study was therefore to analyze the biomechanical consequences of the supraspinatus deficiency after an anatomic shoulder arthroplasty.
