Abstract:
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is one of the methods of surgical treatment for cuff tear arthropathy. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is increasingly being performed, but various complications have been reported. We experienced a case of acromion fracture after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, which is quite a rare complication. So we report on this case along with reviewing the relevant literature.
