Video Transcription

Video Summary

Steve Parada from the Medical College of Georgia presents a detailed technique for reverse shoulder arthroplasty using a 70-year-old patient with an irreparable rotator cuff and pseudoparalytic shoulder. He explains the delta pectoral approach, humeral preparation, and glenoid instrumentation, emphasizing careful handling, proper implant alignment, and secure fixation with screws and locking caps. Parada stresses using patient bone graft and maintaining sterility by changing gloves during implant handling. He highlights consistent setup, mastering one system before others, and prioritizing precision over speed for successful outcomes. Final x-rays confirm appropriate implant positioning, and he encourages ongoing communication for learning support.
