Although reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is largely successful, there are still complications that require appropriate diagnostic workup and treatment. These 2 cases of patients with a coracoid fracture were encountered at 3 months and 15 months after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. One patient presented with new-onset pain in the coracoid region without significant functional deficit, and the other presented with functional deficit and complaint of a strange noise at the anterior aspect of the operative shoulder. While standard radiographs did not detect the fracture, computed tomography imaging was sufficient to establish the diagnosis. Ultimately, nonoperative management led to resolution of these symptoms.
