Shoulder Replacement vs. Reverse Shoulder Replacement - Dr. William Owens, MD

Описание: Orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Owen of Palmetto Bone & Joint specializes in upper extremity surgeries, including shoulder joint replacement. Here, he explains the difference between traditional, or anatomic shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
