Advances and Update on Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a procedure that has been increasingly utilized since its inception over 20 years ago. The purpose of this review is to present the most up to date practice and advances to the RTSA literature from the last 5 years. RECENT FINDINGS:Recent literature on RTSA has focused on identifying complications, maximizing outcomes, and determining its cost-effectiveness. RTSA has become a valuable tool in the treatment of various shoulder pathologies from fractures to massive-irreparable rotator cuff tears. Maximizing outcomes, proper patient counseling, and limiting complications are vital to a successful procedure. RTSA can be a difficult procedure; however, when utilized appropriately, it can be an invaluable tool in the orthopedic surgeon's armament. Recent evidence suggests, more and more, that RTSA not only provides value to the patient, but it is also cost-effective.

Project description:Hypothesis and backgroundThere is no differences in abduction, internal rotation, or external rotation strength after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) with or without subscapularis repair. Repair of the subscapularis can be effective in the setting of rTSA. However, consensus has yet to be reached on whether postoperative strength after rTSA differs based on subscapularis management. The purpose of this review is to evaluate shoulder strength outcomes after rTSA with and without subscapularis tendon repair.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted using the key terms "subscapularis" AND "reverse total shoulder arthroplasty" AND "muscle strength" in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews and Trials, and Scopus. Original, English-language studies evaluating shoulder strength outcomes after rTSA published from January 1, 2000, to present were evaluated. Strength outcomes reported included abduction strength (kg) and internal rotation strength (kg) using an electric spring balance and external rotation strength (lb) using a handheld dynamometer. Heterogeneity of data in the included studies did not allow for meta-analysis.ResutsThe search yielded 4253 unique results, which were screened for inclusion according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Two articles met eligibility criteria and were included in the final full-text review. A total of 267 shoulders were represented, 111 with subscapularis repair and 156 without subscapularis repair. No significant differences in abduction (P = .39), internal rotation (P = .09), and external rotation (P = .463) strength were observed between subscapularis repair and nonrepair groups.ConclusionThere were no differences in abduction, internal rotation, or external rotation strength after rTSA with or without subscapularis repair. The literature on postoperative strength outcomes after rTSA is limited, and further study in this area is warranted.

Project description:BackgroundThe implantation rates of reverse total shoulder arthroplasties (RTSAs) are increasing worldwide, resulting in higher absolute numbers of the associated complications and revision surgeries. This requires the discussion of salvage therapies for failed RTSAs without revision to a new RTSA. Revision to hemiarthroplasty may offer a valid fallback option in certain cases. This study aimed to analyze the incidence, indications, and clinical outcomes, especially the reduction in pain levels compared to a matched control group.MethodsOur prospectively enrolled patient cohort of RTSA implantations at a tertiary referral center between January 2005 and December 2018 was retrospectively queried for revision to a hemiarthroplasty. For clinical outcome evaluation, a minimum follow-up duration of 2 years after revision to hemiarthroplasty was required. Clinical outcome measures were compared to two matching groups, one with RTSA preserving revision and one without any reintervention. The outcome measures were the absolute and relative Constant-Murley score (aCS and rCS), Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), range of motion, and pain.ResultsA total of 21 out of 1237 RTSAs (1.7%) underwent salvage revision to hemiarthroplasty at a mean time of 20 ± 21 months (range, 1-75 months). Of those, 12 were available for a minimum follow-up of 2 years after revision to a hemiarthroplasty. The main indications were glenoid loosening (8/12), scapular spine fracture (2/12), and instability (2/21). Clinical outcome was analyzed at a mean follow-up period of 46 ± 26 months (24 months to 123 months) after revision to a hemiarthroplasty. The revision significantly reduced CS pain from 6 ± 4 points to 12 ± 3 points (scale 0 to 15 with 15 as optimum, P < .01). The aCS, rCS, SSV, and range of motion did not improve. Comparison with the RTSA preserving revision group and the RTSA group without reintervention showed significantly worse outcome scores for aCS (33 ± 10 vs. 55 ± 19 vs. 69 ± 12 points), rCS (41 ± 14% vs. 67 ± 20% vs. 84 ± 13%), SSV (35 ± 19% vs. 64 ± 20% vs. 81 ± 15%), flexion (53 ± 27° vs. 64 ± 20° vs. 128 ± 24°), and abduction (50 ± 23° vs. 109 ± 42° vs. 142 ± 24°). Pain was similar in all groups at the last follow-up visit.ConclusionIn a few cases, RTSA retention or revision to another RTSA is impossible. For those patients, conversion to hemiarthroplasty is a valid fallback option to reduce the patient's pain levels and provide low-level function.
