Abstract
Compression arthrodesis of the shoulder was carried out in 16 patients. One case of postoperative infection healed by conservative treatment, and all but one had primary fusion. With a median of 12 years follow-up, 12 patients were examined clinically and radiologically; one patient was lost to follow-up and three patients were dead. The result was rated as good by 10 patients and as improved by two patients. External compression arthrodesis was found to be a safe and easy way to achieve solid fusion of the shoulder joint. Arthroplasty and arthrodesis of the shoulder joint are complementary operations, applicable in different clinical situations.Keywords
