Implant migration and functional outcome of Reverse Shoulder Lateralized Glenosphere Line Extension System: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inferior scapular notching is a complication unique to reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The most efficient technique to avoid inferior scapular notching has been reported to be lateralization of the glenoid offset. This study aims to compare radiological and functional outcomes of the DELTA Xtend® Reverse Shoulder System Lateralized Glenosphere Line Extension (intervention group) with the Standard DELTA Xtend® Reverse Shoulder System (control group). We hypothesize that the lateralization improves the patient outcome by decreasing the risk of inferior scapular notching without increasing the risk of migration and loosening of glenoid component.

Methods

In this randomized controlled trial, all Danish citizens with rotator cuff arthropathy or degeneration of the gleno
