Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
Use of mismatched components may yield similar outcomes as matched components in RSA
Published results showed use of mismatched reverse shoulder arthroplasty components, defined by humeral and glenoid components from different manufacturers, may yield similar clinical outcomes and re-revision rates as matched components.
Mismatched glenoid, humeral implant manufacturers may not affect outcomes of RSA
Published results showed patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty with glenoid and humeral components from different manufacturers had similar 2-year outcomes compared with patients who had implants from the same manufacturer.
VIDEO: Skilled in-office therapy may not be needed after reverse shoulder arthroplasty
SAN ANTONIO — In this video, Grant E. Garrigues, MD, FAAOS, discusses two trials that compared outcomes for surgeon-directed home exercise vs. therapist-guided, in-office rehabilitation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Underrepresented groups may be less likely to undergo RSA for proximal humeral fractures
Published results showed underrepresented groups may be less likely to undergo reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humerus fractures compared with white patients.
Enovis releases expanded reverse glenoid system for RSA
Enovis announced the release of its AltiVate reverse glenoid system, a one-tray glenoid system with modular, augmented baseplates for patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty, according to a company press release.
RSA may yield superior outcomes for proximal humerus fractures vs. hemiarthroplasty
Published results showed reverse shoulder arthroplasty yielded superior Constant scores at 1 year with no increased risk of failure compared with hemiarthroplasty for patients with proximal humerus fractures.
Neutral version, retroversion of humeral component may not impact outcomes of RSA
According to published results, patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty with the humeral component in either neutral version or 30° of retroversion had similar range of motion, pain scores and functional outcomes at 2-year follow-up.
RSA yielded superior functional outcomes vs. conservative treatment for humeral fractures
Results showed patients with acute displaced proximal humerus fractures who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty had better 1-year Constant-Murley scores compared with patients who received conservative, nonoperative treatment.
Panel discusses impact of the Grammont’s reverse shoulder design 30 years later
It has been 30 years since Paul M. Grammont, MD, and Emmanuel Baulot, MD, first published in the English-speaking literature on Grammont’s reverse total shoulder design.
Patients with delayed RSA after proximal humerus fracture may show higher reoperation risk
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Surgical delays of longer than 28 days were associated with increased odds of reoperation at 2-year follow-up for patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty for a proximal humerus fracture.
