The x-rays demonstrate a case in which necrosis of the tubercle leads to a cranial humerus decentralization (fia. A). This situation made the switch-over to the inverse version necessary (fia. B)
Notice: For the primary treatment, at least one extension piece should always be inserted. For a switch-over to an inverse prosthesis, this piece can be removed to shorten the stem length.
This leads to a lowering of the proximal implant components and optimizes the position of the prosthesis for the inverse prosthesis.
