Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) can effectively treat severe shoulder dysfunction from proximal humeral fractures. While complex, this procedure offers significant pain relief and improved shoulder function in many patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Proximal humeral fractures can lead to significant shoulder dysfunction.
  • Sequelae of these fractures present complex reconstructive challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for treating sequelae of proximal humeral fractures.
  • To assess functional recovery, pain relief, and complications associated with RSA in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective multicenter study involving 26 patients who underwent RSA for proximal humeral fracture sequelae.
  • Follow-up data available for 20 patients, averaging 44 months.
  • Outcome measures included Neer scale, pain scores, range of motion, and standardized shoulder function scores.

Main Results:

  • Overall results were excellent in 8, satisfactory in 6, and unsatisfactory in 6 shoulders.
  • Significant improvements observed in visual analog pain scores (to 1.9), forward elevation (to 137 degrees), and external rotation (to 39 degrees).
  • Complications included deep infection, transient brachial plexopathies, and dislocations.

Conclusions:

  • Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a viable, though complex, option for reconstructing the proximal humerus following fracture sequelae.
  • Advanced surgical techniques may be necessary, and complications are possible.
  • Satisfactory functional outcomes can be achieved in the majority of patients despite the complexity.
