The shoulder hemiarthroplasty is most often performed for one of three reasons. The first is an arthritic shoulder where the socket is not in bad condition, but the ball needs to be replaced. The second is in rotator cuff tear arthropathy, where a total should replacement would likely fail over time.
Evolution of rotator cuff integrity: During arthroplasty, rotator cuff tears are repaired. Unless there is a large chronic rotator cuff tear at time of surgery, the post-operative shoulder should have an intact rotator cuff. Arthrography can be performed to evaluate cuff integrity.
