Fracture-Dedicated Prosthesis Promotes the Healing Rate of Greater Tuberosity in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is becoming popular in the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures (PHFs). Greater tuberosity healing may influence functional outcomes and range of motion (ROM) of shoulder after RSA. In addition, the design of prosthesis may impact the healing rate of greater tuberosity. The purpose of this study is to know: (1) does the healing of greater tuberosity affect the functional outcomes and ROM of shoulder? and (2) does the design of prosthesis affect the healing rate of greater tuberosity? Materials and Methods: PubMed, Ovid/Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies comparing the clinical outcomes between the healed groups and the non-healed groups after RSA. Results: For functional outcomes, the r
