Cemented vs. cementless stems for reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humerus fractures: a registry analysis with patient-reported outcomes from a level 1 trauma centre.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is being increasingly used in the treatment of comminuted or unreconstructible proximal humerus fractures. It is currently unclear if cementless rTSA have equivocal revision rates, mortality, and functional outcomes compared to cemented or cementless rTSA.

Methods

Two data sources were used for this study. All rTSA performed for proximal humerus fractures between 1 January 2010 and 1 January 2020 recorded on the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry were used to determine revision rate and mortality between cemented and cementless rTSA. Patient-reported outcome measurements, including the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Oxford Shoulder Score, and single assessment numerical val
