Abstract

The reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) was initially introduced as a solution to deficiencies of the rotator cuff with subsequent degenerative joint disease, called rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The rTSA has since then seen a significant increase in utilization, particularly in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA). This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the role of rTSA in the treatment of GHOA, highlighting a series of reported clinical outcomes, survivorship analyses, and common complications found within the literature.
