Abstract

A case of a patient with glenohumeral joint arthritis is presented which demonstrated the three-dimensional shoulder motion before and after total shoulder arthroplasty. Pre-operative shoulder motion differed compared to normal controls, while post-operatively her glenohumeral-to-scapulothoracic motion ratios were restored to near normal ratios.
