Abstract
RESURFACING AND STEMLESS ARTHROPLASTY IN SHOULDER SURGERY. INDICATIONS, LIMITS AND
PERSPECTIVES
Small implants in shoulder replacement surgery represent a viable alternative to traditional surgery in specific
conditions. Resurfacing and stemless implants have been introduced with the goal of preserving bone, reduce the risk
of humeral periprosthetic fractures and simplify revision procedures. Clinical studies show very good clinical results
and low complication rates in selected patients when correctly implanted. The use of small implants in shoulder
replacement surgery appears to be a viable option for shoulder replacement, especially in young patients, even though
future studies are required to assess the long-term outcomes.
