Problemas e complicações da artroplasia reversa do ombro: uma revisão de lietartura.

Abstract

Introduction: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a procedure that restores shoulder joint function in patients who had no successful therapeutic alternatives, due to the fact that initially treatments were proposed that promoted pain relief, but did not restore anterior elevation. Thus, reverse arthroplasty is an effective therapeutic option, with the aim of minimizing painful symptoms and providing better functionality. Outstanding results are reported for reverse shoulder arthroplasty surgery; however the existence of problems and complications is a reality. Proposition: The objective of this review is to provide a compilation of evidence about the characterizations and complications of reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Methodology: A bibliographic survey was carried out in the Pubmed, Scielo, Lilacs and Google Scholar databases. 21 articles were published from 1987 to 2023. Result: The success of reverse shoulder arthroplasty procedures is well known, with clinically significant improvements in range of motion and clinical results. However, one should consider the high rates of intercurrences. Conclusion: In view of the present literature review, it is concluded that despite the success of reverse shoulder arthroplasty procedures in terms of pain and function, the existence of problems and complications is a challenge for the professional. It is suggested that this technique should be performed by experienced, qualified and knowledgeable professionals. Since, in recent years, given the improvement and better understanding of the technique, the incidence of complications has been reduced.
