Introduction: Functional outcomes following reverse geometry shoulder arthroplasty can vary. This study assessed the effects of glenosphere size, humeral stem version, posterior rotator cuff status and subscapularis repair on patient reported outcome and range of motion.
Methods: A consecutive series of 132 patients from two orthopaedic centres that use the same onlay system for reverse shoulder arthroplasty were reviewed over a 6-year period. Outcome measures consisted of the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) and Range of Motion (ROM) at one year following surgery. These were assessed against glenosphere sizes (small (36 mm-38 mm) and large (40 mm-42 mm)), humeral stem retroversion (less or more than 20 degrees), rotator cuff status (posterior rotator cuff present or absent) and subscapularis tendon (repaired or not) at the end of procedure.
Results: Larger glenospheres.. Read More»
