This document discusses shoulder arthritis and its management. It begins by outlining the two broad types of arthritis - those with an intact rotator cuff and those with a torn rotator cuff. It then discusses the two broad types of shoulder replacements - anatomical and reverse geometry. Making the right diagnosis and assessment of bone stock, predicting rotator cuff failure, and performing a good surgery are key to avoiding complications. Trends in shoulder replacements over time and future projections are also presented.
