Reverse shoulder arthroplasty-early results

Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty is used in massive rotator cuff tears, it also proximal humerus fractures and revision. In this study, we aimed to examine the early radiological clinical results of patients undergoing with different diagnoses. Between 2010 2013, was applied 10 (4 men, 6 women) diagnosis arthropathy due tear (n: 7), multi-fragmentary fracture 2) hemiarthroplasty revision 1). The median age 74 (64-85) years follow-up 15.5 (3-35) months. Patients were assessed terms joint range motion, Constant score Visual Pain Scale (VAS) examinations before after surgery. Preoperative active flexion, abduction, internal external rotation degrees 65, 30, 40 50 degrees, 105, 95, 57.5 respectively their final controls. 20.5 (14-63) preoperatively, 54.5 (38-64) controls (p˂0.05). While preoperative VAS 7 (3-9), found be 1.5 (1-3) As a complication, scapular notching observed one patient. Internal values better group than group. Reverse arthroplasty, especially treatment arthropathy, has good low complication rate. We recommend paying attention glenoid component location avoid notching.
