Patient Profile:
An elderly patient presented with severe shoulder pain and restricted movement that had significantly impacted her daily life. Over time, the pain intensified, and simple tasks like combing hair or lifting light objects became extremely difficult.

Diagnosis:
Clinical examination and X-ray evaluation revealed advanced shoulder arthritis with superior dislocation and extensive glenoid bone loss — a complex case of cuff tear arthropathy (Seebauer Type IIb).

Treatment Approach:

To restore mobility and relieve pain, the surgical team planned a Reverse Shoulder Replacement (RSA) using Stryker Perform components.

Pre-operative planning involved:

• Precise blueprint analysis of the shoulder anatomy

• Use of a wedge glenoid component for stability

• An inlay humerus stem to ensure optimal joint alignment

• Addressing multiple issues including bone loss and soft tissue imbalance

Surgical Outcome:

The surgery was executed with meticulous precision and customized implant selection, resulting in:
Stable joint reconstruction
Restoration of shoulder alignment
Significant pain relief and improved range of motion

Post-operative Recovery:

Following guided rehabilitation and physiotherapy, the patient reported:

• Dramatic improvement in shoulder function

• Pain-free daily activities within a few weeks

• Renewed confidence and quality of life

Conclusion:

This case exemplifies the power of accurate planning, surgical precision, and patient-centered care.
Through advanced implant technology and tailored surgical execution, the patient regained pain-free mobility — proving that the right approach leads to transformative outcomes.
