Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Total shoulder arthroplasty, or TSA, is a procedure used to replace the diseased or damaged ball and socket joint of the shoulder with a prosthesis made of polyethylene and metal components. The “ball” is the proximal head of the humerus and the “socket” refers to the concave depression of the scapula referred to as the glenoid.(multi-source)
A reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, or rTSA, refers to a similar procedure in which the prosthetic ball and socket that make up the joint are reversed to treat certain complex shoulder problems. (multi-source)
