Cofield's 1983 review synthesizes early Mayo Clinic experience and published multi-center data on unconstrained total shoulder arthroplasty using the Neer prosthesis. It characterizes rotator cuff pathology by diagnosis, describes surgical technique, and reports intermediate-term pain, motion, and radiographic outcomes across 176 consecutive cases and several external series.
