Excision arthroplasty of the shoulder is a rarely performed procedure used in cases where replacement of a failed arthroplasty is not feasible. We report four cases of excision arthroplasty following a shoulder replacement, one performed for infection and three for instability. Excision arthroplasty resulted in very poor function with pain improvement in only two cases.
