Clinical and radiological outcome following trauma-related reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a frequently used therapy for complex proximal humeral fractures and posttraumatic disorders. The present study's purpose was to assess the clinical and radiological outcome of primary and secondary RSA, and to analyze the impact of refixation of the greater tuberosity (GT).

Patients and methods

28 patients with primary fracture RSA and 18 patients with RSA due to posttraumatic disorders were examined with a mean clinical follow-up of 2.5 ± 1.73 years. Operative details and radiographs were retrospectively reviewed. Additional analyses were performed for healed and non-healed GT in primary RSA.

Results

Patients with fracture RSA had higher Constant-Murley score (CMS) than secondary RSA without reaching significance (p
