Shoulder Replacement with Dr. Sarav Shah and Dr. Glen Ross

 Shoulder replacement is now routinely performed for patients with moderate to severe shoulder arthritis. It has the potential to relieve pain and improve function for many people. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the arthritic “ball” of the shoulder and smooths down the “socket.” The joint is then replaced with a metal ball, and a polyethylene socket. In reverse shoulder replacements metal balls are placed on the patient’s socket and a plastic cup is placed on top of the humerus. 

Rotator Cuff Tears: What is the latest in the treatment?

Please join Sarav Shah, MD as we discuss the latest and best evidence in the treatment of rotator cuff tears. Recent evidence suggests that Injury severity is a critical consideration and a large portion of symptomatic full-thickness tears progress in size over time.

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty For Cuff Tear Arthropathy

Patient has had multiple failed rotator cuff repairs. He also has documented cartilage grade 3/4 changes on the humeral head and glenoid from his previous scope.   


Male with poor range of motion and consistent pain especially at night pre-operatively. A Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty is preformed for his Cuff Tear Arthropathy.  


Now, the patient is 6 weeks post-operatively with excellent forward elevation and external rotation. He states his pain is much improved as he continues to make progress each day. 

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty w/Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer

Patient with Cuff tear arthropathy and positive preoperative Hornblower's sign. A Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty w/Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer is performed. The tendon transfer is used to allow the patient to have external rotation especially in abduction.  


The Patient is seen here at 4 months post-operatively with excellent forward elevation and external rotation. He is very happy that it is "not painful" anymore and he can now "do what he couldn't do" pre-operatively. 

Matrix Assisted Chondrocyte Implantation and Microdrilling with Powerpick For Patellofemoral Defects

Patient is a 19 y/o Division One football player complaining of left knee pain and swelling in the setting of multiple recurrent patella dislocations. Now he has pain with activities of daily living, mechanical symptoms and subjective instability.  


He has exhausted non-operative management including directed quad strengthening and patella-bearing knee brace.  


MRI images show Tibial Tubercle-Trochlear Groove (TT-TG) distance of 18 mm. Lateral trochlear angle 20. Lateral translation with about 20 degrees of tilt.  


2.5 x 1.5 cm patellar cartilage defect and 1.2 x 1.3 cm trochlear defect. Matrix Assisted Chondrocyte Implantation performed for the patellar defect and Microdrilling with PowerPick XL performed for the trochlear defect.   


Both cartilage procedures were performed with a concomitant tibial tubercle osteotomy as MRI under appreciates the TT-TG measurement compared to CT scan, where the measurement is likely to be over 20. 

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty For Proximal Humerus Fracture in a 75 Female

75 F with 4 part displaced Proximal Humerus Fracture. 3 month post-operative visit demonstrating excellent range of motion. She is pain-free and is able to do her daily activities. She continues to make improvements with her physical therapy.

PDF Versions of NESEC Webinar Series

If you missed the webinar on August 18, 2020 with Sarav Shah MD, it was a great event discussing the evolution and prosthesis design improvements of the reverse shoulder replacement that has led to diminished complications and increased indications.
