Reverse shoulder operation
Have any of you guys had this procedure, if so how did it turn out? How long was the recovery?

Kevin explained the procedure very well. I had rotator cup surgery in 2003 with 4 Titanium moly bolts reattaching the top part of the cuff. Since then 3 ligaments were completely torn and retracted. In addition my bicep tendon is partially torn and pulled out of position. I asked about putting a spacer in for the retracted tendons and the Dr said it is possible but if the tissue is too soft it will only tear out again. They use thick skin from a cadaver for this spacer. So he was suggesting a reverse shoulder as a safer alternative. I guess it is a fairly new procedure within the last 10 years.
