» Secondary rotator cuff insufficiency is a challenging complication after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.» Acute tears may be amenable to open or arthroscopic repair in some instances.» Chronic attritional tears are best managed with revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty, especially in the elderly.» Increased glenoid inclination, larger critical shoulder angle, oversized humeral components, thicker glenoid components, and rotator cuff muscle fatty infiltration have all shown to contribute to tear risk.
