Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) significantly improves pain and function for patients with cuff tear arthropathy (CTA). While complications are low, the long-term durability of RTSA remains undetermined.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty failure in severe rotator cuff deficiency led to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA).
  • RTSA shows promise for improving outcomes in patients with cuff tear arthropathy (CTA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To confirm short-term improvements in pain, function, and range of motion with RTSA for CTA.
  • To identify clinical complications and radiographic notching associated with RTSA in CTA patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 71 primary RTSAs in 67 patients with CTA.
  • Preoperative and postoperative assessment using Constant-Murley and ASES scores.
  • Radiographic evaluation for notching and tracking of complications over an average of 24 months.

Published on: June 6, 2025

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in Constant-Murley (28 to 62) and ASES (26 to 76) scores.
  • Active forward flexion improved from 61° to 121°.
  • 49% radiographic notching and a 23% overall complication rate, with no reoperations required.

Conclusions:

  • RTSA provides functional gains for patients with CTA.
  • The complication rate is manageable, but long-term device longevity is unknown.
