Reverse shoulder replacement can be performed using advanced implant systems such as the Lima Shoulder Prosthesis, which are specifically designed to restore shoulder function in cases where the rotator cuff is severely damaged or non-functional. Unlike anatomical designs, the reverse configuration shifts the center of rotation, allowing the deltoid muscle to compensate for the deficient rotator cuff and enable arm elevation. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, massive irreparable cuff tears, complex fractures, or failed previous shoulder surgeries. The goal is to relieve pain, improve shoulder stability, and restore functional range of motion, leading to better daily activity performance and overall quality of life.
