Abstract
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty can relieve pain and restore function in properly selected patients. The procedure is commonly performed through one of 2 surgical approaches: deltopectoral or anterosuperior. This article describes the surgical approaches, discusses advantages and disadvantages of each approach, reviews the current literature, and presents data from our clinical experience.
