Infection is a rare but severe complication in prosthetic surgery of the shoulder. Data collected from the literature reveals an incidence of about 0.5% (0—3.95%range) for non-cemented prostheses and about 2.9% (0—15.4%range) for cemented prostheses [15]. Due to the low statistical incidence and the low total number of cases, compared to the more common hip and knee prostheses, this experience is limited to few cases and few surgeons. We can, however, forecast that these cases, and possibly the incidence, will increase in future as the number of shoulder arthroplasties is increasing both for arthritis of the glenohumeral joint as well as proximal humeral fractures.
