Abstract: The incidence of prosthetic shoulder replacements has increased considerably in recent years, as well as the complications derived from the procedure. The correct diagnosis of each type of complication is essential for therapeutic decision making, which is currently based on the information provided by radiological and nuclear medicine imaging. Nevertheless, both techniques have intrinsic limitations that could be mostly overcome with the advent of the hybrid SPECT/CT imaging, which is set to play a fundamental role in the evaluation of shoulder prostheses.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Sociedad Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular.
