Abstract
While the reverse prosthesis can provide dramatic, almost miraculous improvement in patients with debilitating shoulder dysfunction secondary to rotator cuff deficient arthritic shoulders, the reported complication rate is frightingly high. Some complications are by their very nature unavoidable. The purpose of this paper is to review the most common complications, give advice as to avoidance when possible and offer treatment alternatives should complications arise.
