Massive tears of the rotator cuff can result in severe functional deficits due to loss of the axial force couple and effective fulcrum that the intact cuff normally provides. For massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, especially in the setting of early to moderate degenerative changes, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty functions to modify the center of joint rotation, allowing the deltoid and intact components of the cuff to carry out shoulder function more effectively.
