| Summary: | Background: Resection arthroplasty is an option for patients with multiple previous failed arthroplasties due to periprosthetic joint infection. Case details: We report on 3 patients (4 shoulders) who were resected and followed for a decade on average. These patients had postoperative ASES scores in alignment with their preoperative baseline and a mean forward elevation of 155°. All patients reported being satisfied with their shoulder function at final follow-up. Conclusion: Resection arthroplasty is an option for patients with risk factors for failed shoulder arthroplasty. While outcomes are moderate, they can be satisfactory if patients are counseled beforehand about realistic expectations. |
