Revision surgery for a shoulder replacement is rarely needed. Most people experience pain relief and improved range of motion after shoulder replacement surgery. This procedure is generally considered a safe and effective option for helping people with shoulder pain resume everyday activities.
Sometimes the regular shoulder replacement was placed for a fracture or for torn rotator cuff tendons and the shoulder continues to be painful. In this case, if a reverse prosthesis is needed, the surgery to place a reverse prosthesis is a little more complicated.
Therefore, changes in kinematics of the contralateral shoulder could have been underestimated and possible changes on the ipsilateral side were not noticed. From Table II it seems that patients with PSSP predominantly have a left hemispheric lesion, while this seems to be inversed in patients without PSSP.
Shoulder replacement surgery is usually recommended for people who have severe pain in their shoulder and have found little or no relief from more conservative treatments. Some conditions that may require a shoulder replacement include: Osteoarthritis. This type of arthritis is common in older people.

The AMA defines CPT code 23472 as “arthroplasty, glenohumeral joint; total shoulder (glenoid and proximal humeral replacement (eg, total shoulder)).” Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), Professional Edition (American Medical Association 2010).
Total shoulder replacement, also known as total shoulder arthroplasty, is the removal of portions of the shoulder joint, which are replaced with artificial implants to reduce pain and restore range of rotation and mobility. It is very successful for treating the severe pain and stiffness caused by end-stage arthritis.

In a reverse total shoulder replacement, a surgeon removes the rounded head of the upper arm bone. Using screws and special tools, he or she attaches a plastic socket to the remaining bone. The surgeon also removes part of the socket of the shoulder blade. This is then replaced with a metal ball.
Code 27447 (Arthroplasty, knee, condyle and plateau; medial AND lateral compartments with or without patella resurfacing [total knee arthroplasty]) does not describe inserting the prosthesis through the altered surgical field, which may have been previously infected or scarred.

Documentation/operative report must identify and describe the procedures performed. Codes 20985, 0054T, or 0055T are not covered services and are not separately reimbursable.
The major difference between a standard shoulder replacement and a reverse procedure is that in a reverse shoulder replacement the ball and socket parts of the shoulder joint switch sides. This means their natural position is reversed.
There are three types of shoulder replacement surgeries: Total shoulder replacement: This is the most common type. It replaces the ball at the top of your humerus with a metal ball, which gets attached to the remaining bone. The socket gets covered with a new plastic surface.
Open surgeries include tendon transfers or reverse shoulder replacement in which the rotator cuff tendons are “replaced by a prosthesis“. In the elderly population, the treatment of rotator cuff tears can be more controversial. There is concern about tissue quality and the ability for the tendon to heal if repaired.
