Clinical and radiological results of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with or without lateralization as revision procedure for failed arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) becomes a common treatment option in the revision setting, common problems associated with Grammont's design such as scapular notching, instability, and rotator cuff weakening occur. Design changes associated with superior outcomes in primary rTSA, such as glenoid or humeral lateralization have not yet been examined in the revision settings. The purpose of this consecutive series of revision rTSA is to evaluate the clinical and radiological short-term results after aseptic and septic revision rTSA and explore potential benefits of metallic glenoid and humerus lateralization.

Methods

In this study, patients treated with an rTSA between 2014 and 2020 after failed shoulder arthroplasty were included. Forty-five consecutiv
