Published results showed reverse shoulder arthroplasty yielded superior Constant scores at 1 year with no increased risk of failure compared with hemiarthroplasty for patients with proximal humerus fractures.

It has been 30 years since Paul M. Grammont, MD, and Emmanuel Baulot, MD, first published in the English-speaking literature on Grammont’s reverse total shoulder design.
