Aims This systematic review asked which patterns of complications are associated with the three reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) prosthetic designs, as classified by Routman et al, in patients undergoing RTSA for the management of cuff tear arthropathy, massive cuff tear, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The three implant design philosophies investigated were medial glenoid/medial humerus (MGMH), medial glenoid/lateral humerus (MGLH), and lateral glenoid/medial humerus (LGMH). Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed via a search of MEDLINE and Embase. Two reviewers extracted data on complication occurrence and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Meta-analysis was conducted on the reported proportion of complications, weighted by sample size, and PROMs were pooled using the reported standardized mean difference (SMD). Quality of methodology was assessed using Wylde’s non-summative four-point system. The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020193041). Results A total of 42 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Rates of scapular notching were found to be significantly higher in MGMH implants (52% (95% confidence interval (CI) 40 to 63)) compared with MGLH ((18% (95% CI 6 to 34)) and LGMH (12% (95% CI 3 to 26)). Higher rates of glenoid loosening were seen in MGMH implants (6% (95% CI 3 to 10)) than in MGLH implants (0% (95% CI 0 to 2)). However, strength of evidence for this finding was low. No significant differences were identified in any other complication, and there were no significant differences observed in PROMs between implant philosophies. Conclusion This systematic review has found significant improvement in PROMS and low complication rates across the implant philosophies studied. Scapular notching was the only complication found definitely to have significantly higher prevalence with the MGMH implant design.

Reverse Total Shoulder

Aims Existing literature indicates that inferiorly inclined glenoid baseplates following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) produce better outcomes compared to superiorly inclined baseplates. We aim to compare clinical outcomes for RSAs with superiorly and neutrally/inferiorly inclined lateralized glenospheres. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 154 consecutive patients undergoing RSA between July 2015 and July 2017 by one single-fellowship trained surgeon (AJ). Two raters (KAM and MVS) independently measured glenoid inclination in preoperative and minimum two year follow-up radiographs (anteroposterior/Grashey) using the RSA angle. Inclination was then compared to patient-reported outcomes, range of motion (ROM), and independently assessed degree of scapular notching and staging of heterotopic ossification at two year follow-up. Results Median postoperative inclination for each group was found to be -3.6° (interquartile range (IQR) -2.1 to -6.9) and 6.0° (3.2° to 10.1°) for the neutrally/inferiorly and superiorly inclined cohorts, respectively. Preoperative inclination was highly associated with postoperative inclination (p = 0.004). When comparing superiorly and neutrally/inferiorly inclined glenospheres, there were no differences in heterotopic ossification (p = 0.606), scapular notching (p = 0.367), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (p = 0.419), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (p = 0.417), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score (p = 0.290), forward elevation (p = 0.161), external rotation (p = 0.537), or internal rotation (p = 0.656). Conclusion Compared to neutral and inferior inclination, up to 6° ± 3° of superior glenoid baseplate inclination on a lateralized RSA design produces no differences in postoperative ROM or patient-reported outcomes, and produces similar levels of scapular notching and heterotopic ossification. Additionally, the degree of preoperative inclination represents an important factor in surgical decision-making as it is strongly associated with postoperative inclination. It is important to note that the findings of this study are only reflective of lateralized RSA prostheses. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(2):360–365.

Abstract Background: Bony increased offset-reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (BIO-RSA) was proposed which uses autograft harvested from the patient’s humeral head to lateralize the glenoid baseplate. This technique provided the lateralization of the center of rotation and the reduction of the scapular notching. Few studies have reported outcomes of BIO-RSA in the Asian population. We reported the first report of clinical and radiological outcomes of BIO-RSA in the Asian population at mid-term follow-up. Methods: From June 2012 to August 2017, a total 38 patients with average age of 73±6 years operated by the BIO-RSA technique with minimum two-year follow-up (average 36.7±16 months) were enrolled in our study. Indications of the BIO-RSA were rotator cuff tear arthropathy, massive irreparable cuff tear without osteoarthritis, primary osteoarthritis with glenoid defect, recurrent shoulder dislocation with massive cuff tear, and glenoid fracture sequela. We excluded patients with acute proximal humerus fracture, avascular necrosis and revision RSA performed using allo- or autograft. We evaluated clinical and radiological outcomes of BIO-RSA at the last follow-up. Results: VAS, ASES, UCLA, and SST scores improved significantly from preoperative (average-5, 39.4, 16.2, 3.9) to postoperative (average- 1.7, 78.9, 28.3, 7.8, p-value < 0.05). All range of motion except internal rotation improved significantly at the last follow-up (p-value <0.05) and the bone graft was incorporated with the native glenoid in all the cases (100%). However, scapular notching was observed in 23/38 (60.5%) of patients. Intraoperative complications were three metaphyseal fractures and one inferior screw malpositioning. Postoperative complications included one heterotropic ossification, one scapula neck stress fracture, one humeral stem loosening, and one late infection. Conclusions: BIO-RSA results in improved clinical outcomes at mid-term follow-up in the Asian population. Although better cosmesis and advantage of glenoid lateralization were observed in our study along with similar complications rates as compared to conventional RTSA, we observed higher rates of scapular notching to previously reported rates in BIO-RSA studies.

Background Thus, the purpose of the present study was to (1) characterize common postoperative complications and (2) quantify the rates of revision in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty revisional surgery. We hypothesize that hardware loosenings will be the most common complication to occur in the sample, with the humeral component being the most common loosening. Methods This systematic review adhered to PRISMA reporting guideline. For our inclusion criteria, we included any study that contained intraoperative and/or postoperative complication data, and revision rates on patients who had undergone revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty due to a failed hemiarthroplasty. Complications include neurologic injury, deep surgical site infections, hardware loosening/prosthetic instability, and postoperative fractures (acromion, glenoid, and humeral fractures). Results The study contained 22 studies that assessed complications from shoulders that had revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty from a hemiarthroplasty, with a total sample of 925 shoulders. We found that the most common complication to occur was hardware loosenings (5.3%), and of the hardware loosenings, humeral loosenings (3.8%) were the most common. The revision rate was found to be 10.7%. Conclusion This systematic review found that revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for failed hemiarthroplasty has a high overall complication and reintervention rates, specifically for hardware loosening and revision rates.

Reverse Total Shoulder

Background: To evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of bony increased offset-reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (BIO-RSA) in the Asian population at mid-term follow-up.Methods: From June 2012 to August 2017 at a single center, 43 patients underwent BIO-RSA, and 38 patients with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up were enrolled. We evaluated the preoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes, radiological outcomes (notching and loosening), and complications of BIO-RSA at the last follow-up. In addition, we divided these patients into notching and not-notching groups and compared the demographics, preoperative, and postoperative characteristics of patients between the two groups.Results: Visual analog scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, University of California-Los Angeles, and Simple Shoulder Test scores improved significantly from preoperative (average: 5, 39.43, 16.22, 3.94) to postoperative (average: 1.71, 78.91, 28.34, 7.8; p<0.05) outcomes. All range of motion except internal rotation improved significantly at the final follow-up (p<0.05), and the bone graft was well-incorporated with the native glenoid in all patients (100%). However, scapular notching was observed in 20/38 patients (53%). In the comparison between notching and not-notching groups (18 vs. 20 patients), there were no significant differences in demographics, radiological parameters, and clinical outcomes except acromion-greater tuberosity (AT) distance (p=0.003). Intraoperative complications were three metaphyseal fractures and one inferior screw malposition. Postoperative complications included one heterotopic ossification, one scapula neck stress fracture, one humeral stem loosening, and one late infection.Conclusions: BIO-RSA resulted in improved clinical outcomes at mid-term follow-up in the Asian population. Although better cosmesis and advantages of glenoid lateralization were observed, we observed higher rates of scapular notching compared to previously reported rates in BIO-RSA studies. In addition, adequate glenoid lateralization with appropriate humeral lengthening (AT distance) might reduce scapular notching.
