“…Fusion should be considered when there is glenohumeral arthritis or symptomatic multidirectional and/or voluntary dislocation [5]. A case of bilateral dislocation has been described in which the left shoulder continued dislocating after 2 operations; a fusion was carried out using an external fixator with a satisfactory result [12].

“…When the tear is not reparable and when several operations have failed, fusion should be considered. Both poor [9] and good results have been recorded [12]. The operation will be needed when the tear is associated with a paralysed deltoid or in young patients who need power rather than movement [2].…”

After loss of active glenohumeral motion the arm cannot be positioned in space and function is impaired. Fusion of the glenohumeral joint creates a new platform for the movement of elbow, hand and fingers and leads to an improvement of function. The use of the reconstructive plate makes the operation easier. Shoulder fusion is especially suited if the function of elbow and hand is well preserved and if the patient is physically active. But fusion is definite and the options of muscle transfer operations and above elbow amputation have to be considered.

“…Abduktionspositionen des Arms von mehr als 70° relativ zum Thorax können darüber hinaus dazu führen, dass der Arm postoperativ nicht mehr an den Körper angelegt werden kann [40]. Insgesamt hat sich in der Literatur eine Arthrodesenstellung in 20°-bis 40°-Abduktion, Anteversion und Innenrotation relativ zum Thorax durchgesetzt [1,4,8,9,10,13,15,16,17,18,19,22,25,26,27,31,32,36,37,39,42].…”

In a prospective study from January 2007 to September 2008, 4 patients with a medium age of 35.7 years underwent screw arthrodesis of the shoulder with a follow-up of 1.0 (0.6-1.5) year. Primary fusion of all arthrodesis surfaces was achieved in all patients; no revision surgery was necessary. All patients improved in shoulder function with an average range of motion of 60° abduction and 40° anteversion.
