A CTA prosthesis is a resurfacing of the upper humerus that requires an intact coracoacromial arch for stability and active elevation of over 90 degrees before surgery.
A reverse total shoulder is a constrained shoulder that fixes the fulcrum for the deltoid when the shoulder is unstable or has pseudoparalysis (it cannot be elevated away from the side).
