Influence of lateralized versus medialized reverse shoulder arthroplasty design on external and internal rotation: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Shoulder Elb 2024; 27:59-71. [PMID: 37957880 PMCID: PMC10938020 DOI: 10.5397/cise.2023.00577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Restoration of external (ER) and internal rotation (IR) after Grammont-style reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is often unreliable. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the influence of RSA medio-lateral offset and subscapularis repair on axial rotation after RSA. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies evaluating axial rotation (ER, IR, or both) after RSA with a defined implant design. Medio-lateral implant classification was adopted from Werthel et al. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model. RESULTS Thirty-two studies reporting 2,233 RSAs were included (mean patient age, 72.5 years; follow-up, 43 months; 64% female). The subscapularis was repaired in 91% (n=2,032) of shoulders and did not differ based on global implant lateralization (91% for both, P=0.602). On meta-analysis, globally lateralized implants achieved greater postoperative ER (40° [36°-44°] vs. 27° [22°-32°], P<0.001) and postoperative improvement in ER (20° [15°-26°] vs. 10° [5°-15°], P<0.001). Lateralized implants with subscapularis repair or medialized implants without subscapularis repair had significantly greater postoperative ER and postoperative improvement in ER compared to globally medialized implants with subscapularis repair (P<0.001 for both). Mean postoperative IR was reported in 56% (n=18) of studies and achieved the minimum necessary IR in 51% of lateralized (n=325, 5 cohorts) versus 36% (n=177, 5 cohorts) of medialized implants. CONCLUSIONS Lateralized RSA produces superior axial rotation compared to medialized RSA. Lateralized RSA with subscapularis repair and medialized RSA without subscapularis repair provide greater axial rotation compared to medialized RSA with subscapularis repair. Level of evidence: 2A.

[PMID: 36795151 PMCID: PMC9933035 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-04802-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION One current trend in the field of shoulder arthroplasty is a design shift to shorter and metaphyseal fixed humeral stem components. The aim of this investigation is to analyze complications resulting in revision surgery after anatomic (ASA) and reverse (RSA) short stem arthroplasty. We hypothesize that complications are influenced by the type of prosthesis and indication for arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 279 short stem shoulder prostheses were implanted by the same surgeon (162 ASA; 117 RSA), and 223 of these prostheses were implanted as primary procedures; in 54 cases, arthroplasty was performed secondary to prior open surgery. Main indications were osteoarthritis (OA) (n = 134), cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) (n = 74) and posttraumatic deformities (PTr) (n = 59). Patients were evaluated at 6 weeks (follow-up 1; FU1), 2 years (FU2) and the time span of the last follow-up defined as FU3 with a minimum FU of 2 years. Complications were categorized into early complications (within FU1), intermediate complications (within FU2) and late complications (> 2 years; FU3). RESULTS In total, 268 prostheses (96.1%) were available for FU1; 267 prostheses (95.7%) were available for FU2 and 218 prostheses (77.8%) were available for FU3. The average time for FU3 was 53.0 months (range 24-95). A complication leading to revision occurred in 21 prostheses (7.8%), 6 (3.7%) in the ASA group and 15 (12.7%) in the RSA group (p < 0.005). The most frequent cause for revision was infection (n = 9; 42.9%). After primary implantation, 3 complications (2.2%) occurred in the ASA and 10 complications (11.0%) in the RSA group (p < 0.005). The complication rate was 2.2% in patients with OA, 13.5% in CTA and 11.9% in PTr. CONCLUSIONS Primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty had a significantly higher rate of complications and revisions than primary and secondary anatomic shoulder arthroplasty, respectively. Therefore, indications for reverse shoulder arthroplasty should be critically questioned in each individual case.

Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this study is to report a systematic review and meta-analysis of solid organ transplant (SOT) patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty to compare functional and radiographic outcomes, demographics, and complications with non-transplant patients. Methods Studies were included if they examined patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty in the setting of prior solid organ transplantation and included post operative range of motion, patient-reported outcomes, complications, or revisions. Studies were excluded if they were national database analyses or lacked clinical data. Pubmed, MEDLine, Scopus, and Web of Science were queried using relevant search terms in July 2022. Data was pooled, weighted, and a paired t-test and chi-square analysis was performed. Results There were 71 SOT and 159 non-SOT shoulders included in the study. The most common indication for surgery was avascular necrosis (n = 26) in the solid organ transplant group and osteoarthritis (n = 60) in the non-SOT group. Forward elevation, external rotation, ASES, and VAS pain scores improved significantly in both cohorts following surgery. There was no significant difference in age at surgery (p-value = 0.20), postoperative forward elevation (p-value = 0.08), postoperative external rotation (0.84), and postoperative ASES scores (p-value = 0.11) between the two cohorts. VAS pain scores were significantly lower in the SOT cohort (p-value<0.01). The risk of death was significantly higher in the SOT group (p-value<0.01). but the rate of overall complications (p = 0.47), surgical complication (p-value = 0.79), or revision surgery (p-value = 1.00) was not significantly different between the two cohorts. Conclusion Shoulder arthroplasty is a safe, effective option in patients following solid organ transplant. There is not an increased risk of adverse outcomes, and SOT patients had comparable range of motion and patient-reported outcomes when compared to their non-SOT peers. Level of evidence III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is an effective treatment option for reducing pain and improving function for patients with rotator cuff tear arthropathy, irreparable rotator cuff tears, glenoid deformity, and other challenging clinical scenarios, including fracture sequelae and revision shoulder arthroplasty. There has been a wide range of reported outcomes and postoperative complication rates reported in the literature. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide an updated review of the clinical outcomes and complication rates following primary rTSA. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate outcomes and complications following primary rTSA according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Demographics, range of motion, patient-reported outcome measures (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form [ASES] and Constant scores), number of complications, and revisions were extracted, recorded, and analyzed from the included articles. RESULTS Of the 1415 studies screened, 52 studies met the inclusion criteria comprising a total of 5824 shoulders. The mean age at the time of surgery was 72 years (range: 34-93), and the mean follow-up was 3.9 years (range: 2-16). Patients demonstrated a mean improvement of 56° in active flexion, 50° in active abduction, and 14° in active external rotation. Regarding functional outcome scores, rTSA patients demonstrated a mean clinically significant improvement of 37 in Constant score (minimal clinically important difference [MCID] = 5.7) and ASES score (42.0; MCID = 13.6). The overall complication rate for rTSA was 9.4% and revision rate of 2.6%. Complications were further subdivided into major medical complications (0.07%), shoulder- or surgical-related complications (5.3%), and infections (1.2%). The most frequently reported shoulder- or surgical-related complications were scapular notching (14.4%), periprosthetic fracture (0.8%), glenoid loosening (0.7%), and prosthetic dislocation (0.7%). DISCUSSION Primary rTSA is a safe and reliable procedure with low complication, revision, infection, and scapular notching rates. Additionally, patients demonstrated clinically significant improvements in both range of motion and clinical outcome scores.

Abstract
Rotator cuff repair is increasingly being performed, and this is likely to continue to given the ageing population. An improvement in functional outcome can be achieved, with the best results noted in those tendons that go on to heal. Failure of repair following surgery can be associated with debilitating symptoms that are not always amenable to non-operative measures, so further surgery may be indicated for these patients. Several operative strategies have been described, but careful evaluation is required to determine the most suitable option. This review describes the decision-making strategies and treatment options available during management of a failed rotator cuff repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE Return to sports after joint arthroplasty is mainly evaluated for lower limbs procedures. When a return to a specific sport is mentioned, no technical approach nor level consideration are specified. We suggested that patients who undergo total shoulder arthroplasty will be able to maintain playing golf at same high level. METHODS We performed a retrospective study on active golf players who have undergone shoulder arthroplasty. Inclusion criteria were: (1) over 50 years old (2) handicap < 54 (3) playing golf before the procedure (4) minimum follow-up of 1 year. Patients were divided into two groups: ASA group and RSA Group. A clinical assessment was performed using the following scores: Constant, ASES and QuickDash. RESULTS Sixty-one patients were retrospectively included in the cohort. Mean age was 69.1 years old. Mean follow-up was 79 months. Preoperative golf frequency and handicap were similar between the two groups. Surgery resulted in significant pain relief in both groups. No difference was shown between the two groups in clinical assessment. Satisfaction rate was 95%. Return to golf time was done progressively from the twentieth week for putting until the twenty-seventh week for playing on the course. Handicap analysis did not show any difference between the level before surgery and the current level in ASA group (23.7 vs. 22.9,p = 0.33) and RSA group (24.2 vs. 23.3,p = 0.63). CONCLUSION Our study suggested that both patients with ASA or RSA can maintain an active lifestyle with moderate to high frequencies of participation after surgery, particularly in golf. Surgeons can reassure their patients about their recovery and show confidence with regard to their ability to return to a similar golf practice also after RSA. Prospective study with larger cohort is required to confirm the results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, cases study.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) predictably report reduced pain and improved function postoperatively. However, it is not known if patients with differing preoperative active motion achieve the same benefit after surgery. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs), range of motion (ROM), and satisfaction after RTSA in patients with moderate-to-severe pain with preserved active preoperative ROM compared with matched controls with restricted preoperative active ROM. Methods A multicenter shoulder arthroplasty registry was utilized to identify patients with at least two-year clinical follow-up after RTSA with a 135° implant. The study cohort with preserved motion included patients with greater than one standard deviation above the overall mean for preoperative forward elevation (FE) (140°) as well as a preoperative visual analog pain scale (VAS) ≥ 5.0. The control cohort with more restricted motion had preoperative FE of less than 140° and also with preoperative VAS ≥5.0. The control patients were matched 2:1 to study patients by age (±2 years), sex, and preoperative VAS (±1.5). Outcomes measured were as follows: PROs, ROM, strength, and strength and satisfaction. Results Twenty-seven patients were identified that comprised the preserved preoperative FE study cohort; 54 patients were included in the restricted elevation cohort as controls. The groups were similar at baseline for demographics, surgical diagnoses, and most PROs, other than the Constant-Murley, which was higher in the preserved motion cohort. At two years postoperatively, both cohorts demonstrated similar PROs, strength, and ROM (other than internal rotation with the arm abducted 90 degrees) and had a similar number of patients who rated the RTSA as meeting or exceeding their expectations. The change in ROM from preoperatively was significantly different with the restricted cohort, achieving a larger increase in forward flexion (51 ± 26° vs. −13 ± 35°, P < .001). Conclusion Patients indicated for RTSA with preserved preoperative FE and moderate pain achieve similar final ROM, pain reduction, increases, and strength compared with patients who undergo RTSA with restricted preoperative FE. Despite losing on average 13 degrees of FE from preoperatively by two years postoperatively, patients with preserved preoperative FE are comparably satisfied with their outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to investigate differences in clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and complication types and rates among preoperative diagnoses following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA): rotator cuff tear arthropathy, primary osteoarthritis, massive irreparable rotator cuff tear, proximal humeral fracture, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and revision of anatomic arthroplasty (Rev). LITERATURE SEARCH Three electronic databases were searched from inception to January 2020. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA The inclusion criteria were (1) patients with a minimum age of 60 years who underwent RTSA for the stated preoperative diagnoses, (2) a minimum of 2 years' follow-up, and (3) preoperative and postoperative values for clinical outcomes and PROs. DATA SYNTHESIS Risk of bias was determined by the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies tool and the modified Downs and Black tool. Weighted means for clinical outcomes and PROs were calculated for each preoperative diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 53 studies were included, of which 36 (68%) were level IV retrospective case series. According to the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies tool, 33 studies (62%) showed a high risk of bias; the 3 randomized controlled trials showed a low risk of bias on the modified Downs and Black tool. RTSA improved clinical outcomes and PROs for all preoperative diagnoses. The Rev group had poorer final outcomes as noted by a lower American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (69) and lower pain score (1.8) compared with the other preoperative diagnoses (78-82 and 0.4-1.4, respectively). The RA group showed the highest complication rate (28%), whereas the osteoarthritis group showed the lowest rate (1.4%). CONCLUSION Studies in the RTSA literature predominantly showed a high risk of bias. All preoperative diagnoses showed improvements; Rev patients showed the worse clinical outcomes and PROs, and RA patients showed higher complication rates. The preoperative diagnosis in RTSA patients can impact outcomes and complications.

Abstract
Background Total shoulder arthroplasty implant designs have continued to evolve over the years. One recent change has been the shortening of the humeral component to preserve bone stock and to facilitate revision surgery. Despite promising clinical results, radiographic bone adaptions occur frequently in short-stem total shoulder arthroplasty, and limited data exist on short-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The purpose of this systematic review was to provide an overview about the functional and radiographic outcomes after an uncemented short-stem RSA, as well as identify areas of clinical importance that are underreported in the current literature. Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines using PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE. Clinical outcome studies reporting on short-stem RSA outcomes with evidence level I-IV were included. Demographics, clinical and radiological outcomes, as well as complications and revision data were systematically analyzed and described. Results Ten studies, published between 2014 and 2019, reporting on 555 shoulders with a mean follow-up of 32 months (range, 20-99.6 months) met the inclusion criteria. For all studies cuff tear arthropathy was the main indication for RSA (36%), followed by primary osteoarthritis (20%). Clinical outcome was reported in nine of ten studies, with range of motion improving in all studies. Six of the seven studies that used the Constant score (CS) demonstrated significant improvement (27.9 points to 69.3 points in weighted means). All studies reported on radiographic changes and bone adaptions. Among these, scapular notching was the most commonly observed (60 out of 327 cases, 18%) but without any described implication on clinical outcomes. No stem loosening was recorded at any final follow-up. A total of 63 complications (12.9%) were reported, with scapula fractures being the most commonly reported complication. Revision surgery was necessary in 24 cases (4.9%). Conclusion Good clinical results, comparable with long-stem RSAs, are reported at short-term follow-up for short-stem RSAs. Humeral bone adaptions occur frequently but aseptic stem loosening is not a matter of concern at short-term follow-up. An area of clinical importance that is under-reported is the relation between filling ratio and stem alignment in short-stem RSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The radiological phenomenon of subsidence following the implantation of uncemented short-stem reverse prostheses (USSP) has not yet been described. The purpose of this study was to describe the rate and potential risk factors for subsidence. We hypothesized that subsidence may be a frequent finding and that a subsidence of >5 mm (mm) is associated with an inferior clinical outcome. METHODS A total of 139 patients with an average age of 73 ± 9 years were included. The clinical and radiological outcome was evaluated at a minimum follow-up (FU) of 12 months. RESULTS No humeral component loosening was present at a mean FU of 18 (range, 12-51) months. Mean Constant Score (CS) and Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) improved significantly from 34.3 ± 18.0 points and 37.0 ± 19.5% preoperatively to 72.2 ± 13.4 points and 80.3 ± 16.5% at final FU (p < 0.001). The average subsidence of the USSP was 1.4 ± 3.7 mm. Subsidence of >5 mm was present in 15 patients (11%). No association between a subsidence >5 mm and CS or SSV was found (p = 0.456, p = 0.527). However, a subsidence of >5 mm resulted in lower strength at final FU (p = 0.022). Complications occurred in six cases (4.2%), and the revision rate was 3.5% (five cases). CONCLUSIONS Although subsidence of USSP is a frequent radiographic finding it is not associated with loosening of the component or a decrease in the clinical outcome at short term FU. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4, retrospective study.

Abstract
Background Globally, reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has moved away from the Grammont design to modern prosthesis designs. The purpose of this study was to provide a focused, updated systematic review for each of the most common complications of RSA by limiting each search to publications after 2010. In this part II, the following were examined: (1) instability, (2) humerus/glenoid fracture, (3) acromial/scapular spine fractures (AF/SSF), and (4) problems/miscellaneous. Methods Four separate PubMed database searches were performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Overall, 137 studies for instability, 94 for humerus/glenoid fracture, 120 for AF/SSF, and 74 for problems/miscellaneous were included in each review, respectively. Univariate analysis was performed with chi-square and Fisher exact tests. Results The Grammont design had a higher instability rate vs. all other designs combined (4.0%, 1.3%; P < .001), and the onlay humerus design had a lower rate than the lateralized glenoid design (0.9%, 2.0%; P = .02). The rate for intraoperative humerus fracture was 1.8%; intraoperative glenoid fracture, 0.3%; postoperative humerus fracture, 1.2%; and postoperative glenoid fracture, 0.1%. The rate of AF/SSF was 2.6% (371/14235). The rate for complex regional pain syndrome was 0.4%; deltoid injury, 0.1%; hematoma, 0.3%; and heterotopic ossification, 0.8%. Conclusions Focused systematic reviews of recent literature with a large volume of shoulders demonstrate that using non-Grammont modern prosthesis designs, complications including instability, intraoperative humerus and glenoid fractures, and hematoma are significantly reduced compared with previous studies. As the indications continue to expand for RSA, it is imperative to accurately track the rate and types of complications in order to justify its cost and increased indications.
