Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Musculoskeletal research

Background:

  • Anatomic shoulder arthroplasty showed limitations for many degenerative conditions and fractures.
  • Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) was developed to address these limitations.
  • Initial concerns regarding RTSA longevity have been overcome, expanding its indications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA).
  • To discuss advancements in RTSA design and implantation techniques.
  • To highlight current controversies and future directions in RTSA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of traditional Grammont RTSA iterations.
  • Analysis of evolving complication rates.
  • Examination of emerging technologies like computer navigation and mixed-reality.

Main Results:

  • RTSA indications have expanded to include osteoarthritis with glenoid deficiency, massive cuff tears, fractures, tumors, and failed prior replacements.
  • Design modifications include glenoid lateralization, reduced neck-shaft angle, and modular/stemless components.
  • Technological advancements like 3D planning and mixed-reality implantation are being utilized.

Conclusions:

  • RTSA has evolved substantially from its original design.
  • Ongoing innovations continue to refine RTSA procedures and outcomes.
  • Key controversies remain, including lateralization, component choices, and complication management.
