Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Practical Approach 

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a medical procedure that has come a long way from being experimental to becoming the fastest-growing implant technology today. The immense success of RSA, made shoulder arthroplasty suitable for young and active patients. This successful procedure is the result of the hard work and research of top experts in the field of orthopaedic surgery. David M. Dines, Joshua Dines, and T. Bradley Edwards have put together a masterful book, The Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: From Basic Science to Clinical Outcomes, aimed at sharing clinical insights gleaned from hands-on refinement of shoulder replacement techniques.

The book starts with the authors taking the reader through the history and evolution of RSA. The first two sections of the book discuss how RSA has increased the durability and longevity of implant technology, resulting in younger and active patients becoming viable candidates for this surgical procedure. The illustrations in the book make it easy to follow and learn about the step-by-step surgical techniques for specific injuries and conditions.

The next three sections of the book discuss past and recent results, complications, and rehabilitation. This information is highly valuable for orthopaedic surgeons who treat shoulder conditions since they can learn complex procedures, implement them, and handle complications as they arise. The last section of the book covers patient-specific instrument use, convertible humeral and glenoid components, and the potential of stemless humeral technology in the future.

What sets this book aside is the level of detail about the latest trends in patient-specific components, guide systems, and instrument design. The authors have not left any stones unturned; they have discussed every aspect of RSA and have even included clinical pearls on how to recognize and handle complications that may occur. These complications may include instability, infection, scapular notching, component loosening, glenoid and humeral bone loss, and RSA failure.

By reading this book, medical professionals can get an in-depth understanding of how RSA plays a pivotal role in making shoulder arthroplasty the fastest-growing implant technology today. With the help of high-quality videos and 300 superb illustrations, readers can properly delineate each of the techniques discussed in the book.
