Twenty-six patients, 18 with rheumatoid arthritis, underwent arthroplasty of the shoulder between 1973 and 1980, with an average follow-up of 3 years. The Stan-more and Kessel arthroplasties and the Neer hemiarthroplasty were used. Twenty-one patients undergoing 22 elective arthroplasties considered that the operation was worthwhile. Pain was completely relieved in 12 shoulders. Movement was improved in 18 shoulders. The priority of restoring movements which improved independence and self-respect is emphasised; the results were far superior to those obtained by an arthrodesis.Downloads
