Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty prosthesis is well positioned. No complication evident. Osteotomy of the undersurface of the lateral clavicle noted.
Case Discussion
A distal clavicular osteotomy performed during complex total shoulder arthroplasty is a surgical technique employed to:

reduce anterior deltoid muscle injury
improve glenoid access
