Improved Clinical Outcomes After Lateralized Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has emerged as an attempt to improve on some of the drawbacks of conventional RSA, such as glenoid notching and decrease in ROM. Although this new design is being used in clinical practice, the evidence is mostly limited to case series and has not been systematically reviewed.

Questions/purposes

(1) How much did patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and ROM improve among patients who receive a lateralized RSA implant? (2) What proportion of shoulders experience complications, revision surgery, or scapular notching?

Methods

The PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched from database inception to January 31, 2020. We included clinical studies that reported the PROMs and/or ROM of patients with insufficient r
