J Bone Joint Surg Am 2005; 87A:1476-1486. This large series reports the significant improvement in pain relief and improved function obtained by reverse replacement. It also highlights the potential problems and reports a high scapular notch incidence and complication rate.

A minimum two-year follow-up study of sixty patients. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2005; 87A:1697-1705. This reports the results of a differing design of reverse prosthesis. Patient satisfaction was high. Complications were reported. Scapular notching was not seen with this design.

Inferior glenoid component position was found to be optimal, in this cadaver study, for motion and to avoid inferior impingement.
