Total Shoulder Arthroplasty and Reverse Total
Shoulder Arthroplasty: Surgery and Rehabilitation
C
Moderator: Jennifer L. Trizuto, MPT; Mills Health Center; San
Mateo, CA
Speakers: Victoria Gall, PT, MEd; Partners Healthcare; Hyde Park,
MA
Scott D. Pennington, MD; Peachtree Orthopaedic Clinic; Atlanta,

Session Overview:
Shoulder arthroplasty surgery changed in 2004 with the Food
and Drug Administration approval of the reverse total shoulder
arthroplasty. The procedure and rehabilitation are very
complex and differs significantly from the traditional shoulder
arthroplasty. Both of these procedures are being preformed
outside of academic teaching facilities, so it is essential that
therapists in all clinic settings who treat orthopedic patients be
familiar with the protocols.
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
• list the indications for a total shoulder arthroplasty and for an
reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
• explain the precautions for a total shoulder arthroplasty and
an reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
• use the protocols as guidelines when following the surgeon’s
specific instructions
