How internal rotation is measured in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) can lead to limited postoperative internal rotation (IR). We assessed how IR is measured and reported in the RTSA literature and examined the relationships between these measures and patient-reported ability to perform activities of daily living.

We included studies reporting IR range of motion (ROM) and/or patient-reported functional outcomes related to IR. We identified 255 studies, 35% of which were excluded because they reported no IR outcome measures, leaving 165 studies for analys
