TOTAL SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY

Course overview

Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is the surgical replacement of a damaged shoulder joint with artificial components. In TSA, the head of the humerus is replaced with a metal ball prosthesis and the glenoid is replaced with a polyethylene shell. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of TSA. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
