Hi there.
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is done when there is Rotator cuff tear with shoulder arthrosis and deltoid weakness. Complications include fracture, infection, component loosening and displacement. Kindly get the Renal function tests done and Anaesthetic approval because the Anaesthesia required usually is General anaesthesia so Renal function needs to be monitored.
