Abstract

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has been reported to have success in treating massive rotator cuff tears without glenohumeral arthritis. However, some patients have been observed to have unexpectedly poor functional improvements after this operation. Since alternative treatment options exist for the rotator cuff deficient shoulder, our aim is to identify risk factors for poor functional improvement after reverse arthroplasty in order to guide patient selection. Furthermore, we sought to assess the overall value of reverse shoulder arthroplasty in cases with poor functional improvement versus controls.
