[Indexed for MEDLINE] 20. Orthop Clin North Am. 2024 Oct;55(4):489-502. doi: 10.1016/j.ocl.2024.05.001. Epub 2024 Jun 8. Current Role of Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in the Management of Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis. Hays C(1).

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) was historically reserved for the elderly, low-demand patient with rotator cuff arthropathy (RCA) or as a salvage procedure after failed primary arthroplasty. Surgeon expertise and the advancement of implant design has allowed RSA to now become commonplace not only for RCA but also for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. RSA provides a robust glenoid baseplate fixation, which allows for easier and more reliable bone grafting or augmentation when needed. For patients with severe glenoid bone loss, RSA has been shown to have superior or equivalent patient-reported outcomes and shoulder range of motion when compared with total shoulder arthroplasty.
