A SHOULDER PROSTHESIS WITH EASY USE



Abstract

In the question of shoulder arthroplasty, the indications for hemi-arthroplasty or total arthroplasty have been well described. There are advantages and disadvantages to each.

This paper reviews 30 cases of use of the EliteĀ® shoulder prosthesis over three years. Results have been good. The procedure calls for few instruments but is effective.

The abstracts were prepared by Professor M.B.E. Sweet. Correspondence should be addressed to him at PO Box 47363, Parklands, Johannesburg 2121, South Africa.
