About this study

Some patients may experience persistent pain in the front of their shoulder after reverse shoulder replacement. One of the possible reasons for this is that the surgery causes a change in the alignment of the shoulder joint, which may cause increased tension and compression on one of the biceps tendon called the conjoint tendon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether conjoint tendon lengthening, a surgical procedure that involves cutting and lengthening the conjoint tendon in order to reduce tension and compression, is able to prevent or reduce the risk of anterior shoulder pain at one year after surgery.
