Here's a case example
He returned to his favorite sport of swimming as shown below
After years of successful function he experienced the unexplained onset of pain and stiffness with a drop in his Simple Test score from 12/12 to 3/12.
He had a single stage revision with prosthesis exchange using impaction allograft followed by 6 weeks of IV Ceftriaxone and 6 months of PO Doxycyline.
He returned to swimming and now three years after his single stage revision his shoulder continues to function well with a Simple Test Score of 11/12
