|December 19, 2022
Summary
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has advanced significantly, treating complex shoulder conditions. However, increased use has led to common complications like instability and fractures.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has seen a dramatic increase in use since its introduction in 1985.
- RTSA effectively treats conditions such as cuff tear arthropathy, proximal humeral fractures, and osteoarthritis with significant bone loss.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the common complications associated with the increased implementation of RTSA.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of RTSA outcomes.
- Analysis of complication rates following RTSA.
Main Results:
- Instability
- Scapular fractures
- Periprosthetic humeral fractures
- Glenoid baseplate loosening
- Infection
Conclusions:
- Despite its benefits, the rise in RTSA procedures correlates with an increase in specific complications.
- Awareness and management of these common complications are crucial for successful RTSA outcomes.

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

22
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...
