OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON REVERSE TOTAL SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY IN PATIENTS WITH CUFF-DEFICIENT SHOULDERS

Abstract

Background: Large rotator cuff tears or loss of function, complex proximal humerus trauma, glenohumeral arthritis,
inflammatory pathology, and other pathologies that are not amenable to traditional shoulder arthroplasty are among the
shoulder conditions for which RTSA (Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty) is indicated.
Aim: The purpose of the current study was to assess the clinical results of patients with cuff-deficient shoulders following
reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
