The rate of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is rising, with anatomic TSA (aTSA) often failing due to glenoid loosening or rotator cuff issues. Revision to reverse TSA (rTSA) is preferred for stability and fixation. While aTSA offers better motion and fewer rare complications, rotator cuff deterioration is unavoidable in some patients, and the long-term durability of primary rTSA in younger patients is uncertain.
This study compares outcomes of patients undergoing revision rTSA after failed aTSA with those receiving primary rTSA, and identifies predictors of poor outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize common causes of aTSA failure and revision implications.
- Compare outcomes of revision rTSA versus primary rTSA.
- Understand pros and cons of aTSA vs rTSA for initial surgery.
- Identify predictors of poor outcomes after revision rTSA.
- Evaluate factors influencing surgical decision-making for primary vs revision rTSA.
