Ligament attachments are preserved as much as possible
Joint resection, rather than joint replacement, is more likely to be performed on people with rheumatoid arthritis
Joint resection involves removing a portion of the bone from a stiffened joint, creating a gap between the bone and the socket, to improve the range of motion
twisting of ligaments at joints

Elbow, shoulder, ankle, and finger joints are more likely to be treated with joint resection or interpositional reconstruction.
Pain is relieved and motion is restored, but the joint is less stable

The 4 supporting ligaments of the glenohumeral joint are: -coracohumeral ligament (between the coracoid process and humerus) -3 glenohumeral ligaments (between the glenoid process and the humerus)
