Ream and run - a great demonstration of rehabilitation exercises

A man in his early 50s presented with a very stiff and painful left shoulder and these x-rays.

 He elected a ream and run procedure at which time we performed extensive soft tissue releases and used a thin humeral head component to optimize his flexibility.

At two weeks after surgery he sent a series of videos, which provide a 'text book' on post ream and run rehab. He generously offered to let us reproduce them here.
