What Went Wrong and What Was Done About It: Pitfalls in the Treatment of Common Shoulder Surgery

摘要

Fortunately, the majority of shoulder surgical procedures yield consistently good results. However, when a surgical procedure fails, identifying the causative factors to eliminate helps to make a revision procedure successful. The purposes of this review were to highlight common problems that can occur during surgery to treat shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, acromioclavicular joint dislocations, and proximal humeral fractures and to discuss techniques that can be used to address these problems during revision surgery.
