Abstract
Aims To establish cut-off values for Patient-Acceptable Symptom States (PASS) in three Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), the Constant-Murley Score (CMS) and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Shoulder Score and Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) at 3, 6, and 12-months following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Methods A retrospective study was conducted for individuals who were treated for massive rotator cuff tear, rotator cuff arthropathy or proximal humerus fractures with RSA from January 2011 and February 2020. This study included patients who have completed the patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction questions preoperatively, and at 3, 6 and 12-months after the procedure. Functional outcome were evaluated by CMS, UCLA shoulder score and OSS, with one anchoring question regarding satisfaction. PASS thresholds for each PROM were obtained with the Youden method, by using the receiver operating characteristic analysis, and secondary analysis was performed with the 80% specificity and 75th percentile method. Results 129 patients were included. 74.2%, 83.9%, and 89.3% of patients were found to have a satisfactory symptom state at 3, 6 and 12-months postoperatively. At 3, 6 and 12-month intervals, the respective PASS thresholds were 42, 39 and 52 for CMS, 17, 21 and 26 for UCLA score and 28, 25 and 18 for OSS. Conclusions PASS thresholds for RSA at 3, 6 and 12-months were found for CMS (42, 39, 52), UCLA (17, 21, 26) and OSS (28, 25, 18). These thresholds suggest increasing expectations with a trend towards higher functional requirements at each time point.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Revision shoulder arthroplasty can be challenging. One of the main considerations for surgeons is the type of implant that was placed in the initial surgery. Anatomic shoulder arthroplasty (ASA) is used for cases of osteoarthritis as well as for fractures of the humeral head. Hemiarthroplasty can be used for complex proximal humerus fractures. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in clinical and radiographic outcomes between patients that failed primary fracture hemiarthroplasty (FHA), or ASA for osteoarthritis and then required reoperation with a conversion to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). METHODS Patients with failed anatomic shoulder replacement, who had undergone conversion to RSA, were enrolled after a mean follow-up of 107 (85-157) months. Two different groups, one with failed ASA implanted for osteoarthritis and one with failed FHA, were created. At follow-up patients were assessed with standard radiographs and clinical outcome scores. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients (f = 17, m = 12; 51%) suffered from a failed ASA (Group A), while the remaining 28 patients (f = 21, m = 74; 49%) had been revised due to a failed FHA (Group B). Patients of Group B had a poorer Constant score (Group A: 60 vs. Group B: 46; p = 0.02). Abduction (Group A: 115° vs. Group B: 89°; p = 0.02) was worse after conversion of a failed FHA to RSA in comparison to conversions of failed ASA. The mean bone loss of the lateral metaphysis was higher in patients with failed FHA (Group A: 5 mm vs. Group B: 20 mm; p = 0.0). CONCLUSION The initial indication for anatomic shoulder arthroplasty influences the clinical and radiological outcome after conversion to RSA. Conversion of failed FHA to RSA is related to an increased metaphyseal bone loss, decreased range of motion and poorer clinical outcomes when compared to conversions of failed ASA implanted for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitality-threatening proximal humerus fractures often provide an indication for prosthetic treatment. We investigated the issue of how anatomic hemiprostheses perform in younger, functionally challenging patients with the use of a specific fracture stem and systematic tuberosity management in medium-term follow-up. METHODS Thirteen skeletally mature patients with a mean age of 64 ± 9 years and a minimum follow-up of 1 year after primary open-stem hemiarthroplasty for 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures were included. All patients were followed up regarding their clinical course. Radiologic follow-up included fracture classification, healing of tuberosities, proximal migration of the humeral head, evidence of stem loosening, and glenoid erosion. Functional follow-up included range of motion, pain, objective and subjective performance scores, complications, and return to sports rates. We statistically compared treatment success based on the Constant score between the cohort with proximal migration and the cohort with regular acromiohumeral distance by means of the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS After an average follow-up period of 4.8 years, satisfactory results were obtained. The absolute Constant-Murley score was 73.2 ± 12.4 points. The disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score was 13.2 ± 13.0 points. Patients reported their mean subjective shoulder value as 86.6% ± 8.5%. Pain was reported as 1.1 ± 1.3 points on a visual analog scale. Flexion, abduction, and external rotation values were 138 ± 31°, 134 ± 34°, and 32 ± 17°, respectively. 84.6% of the referred tuberosities healed successfully. Proximal migration was observed in 38.5% of cases and was associated with worse Constant score results (P = .065). No patient showed signs of loosening. Mild glenoid erosion was apparent in 4 patients (30.8%). All patients who were interviewed and participated in sports before surgery were able to return to their primary sport after surgery and continued to do so during the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS With narrow indications, use of a specific fracture stem and adequate tuberosity management, successful radiographic and functional results are presented after a mean follow-up of 4.8 years after hemiarthroplasty for primary nonreconstructable humeral head fractures. Accordingly, open-stem hemiarthroplasty appears to remain a possible alternative to reverse shoulder arthroplasty in younger, functionally challenging patients with primary 3- or 4-part proximal humeral fractures.

Abstract
The management of proximal humeral fractures (PHF) remains controversial. Its incidence is increasing. Patients should be meticulously assessed clinically for co-morbidities and neuro-vascular injuries. Radiological investigation helps provide information on the fracture configuration and dislocations. Enhanced by 3-dimensional CT scanning, these further help in decision making and operative planning. PHF classifications have been demonstrated to have poor intra-observer and inter-observer reliability. Research has identified some radiographic predictive factors for humeral head ischaemia and likely failure of surgical fixation. The range of management options include non-operative treatment, operative fixation, intramedullary nailing and arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty, reverse shoulder replacement). The majority of PHFs are stable injuries and non-operative management is usually successful. Some degree of malunion is readily tolerated especially by elderly patients. Surgical management of significantly displaced, unstable proximal humerus fractures should aim to stabilise the fracture adequately and provide satisfactory function for the long term. Management of the greater tuberosity is pivotal for the eventual outcome. When fixation may appear to be compromised by poor bone quality, likely poor function, age related rotator cuff degeneration or likely humeral head ischaemia clinicians may opt for arthroplasty. Successful hemiarthroplasty outcomes are dependent on sufficient healing of the tuberosity and recovery of the rotator cuff integrity. Reverse shoulder replacement can predictably deliver good functional outcomes for the shoulder in elderly patients, where rotator cuff dysfunction is suspected or as a revision procedure following failure of other surgical interventions. As opposed to hemiarthroplasty, which has shown a downward trend, there has been an increasing trend towards the use of reverse shoulder replacement in proximal humeral fractures. The management of PHFs should be patient specific, fracture specific and meet the functional demands and needs of the individual patient. The surgeon's skill set and clinical experience also plays an important role in the options of management available.

A novel "7 sutures and 8 knots" surgical technique in reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures: tuberosity healing improves short-term clinical results. J Orthop Traumatol 2023; 24:18. [PMID: 37155113 PMCID: PMC10167075 DOI: 10.1186/s10195-023-00697-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex proximal humeral fractures (cPHFs) represent an important public health concern, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has emerged as a feasible treatment option in the elderly with high functional demands. Recent studies have shown that tuberosity healing leads to better clinical outcomes and an improved range of motion. However, the best surgical technique for the management of the tuberosities is still a topic of debate. The purpose of this retrospective observational study is to report the radiographic and clinical outcomes of a consecutive series of patients who underwent RSA for cPHFs using a novel "7 sutures and 8 knots" technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS A consecutive series of 32 patients (33 shoulders) were treated with this technique by a single surgeon from January 2017 to September 2021. Results at a minimum follow-up of 12 months and a mean ± SD follow-up of 35.9 ± 16.2 (range 12-64) months are reported. RESULTS The tuberosity union rate was 87.9% (29 out of 33 shoulders), the mean Constant score was 66.7 ± 20.5 (range 29-100) points, and the mean DASH score was 33.4 ± 22.6 (range 2-85) points. CONCLUSIONS The "7 sutures and 8 knots" technique, which relies on three sutures around the implant and five bridging sutures between the tuberosities, is a relatively simple procedure which provides a reliable means for anatomic restoration of the tuberosities and allows functional recovery of the shoulder in elderly patients with cPHFs treated with RSA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; retrospective atudy. TRIAL REGISTRATION At our institution, no institutional review board nor ethical committee approval is necessary for retrospective studies.

Abstract
Background The role of hemiarthroplasty (HA) in the management of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) and their sequalae has evolved with the development of contemporary internal fixation techniques and the widespread use of the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. However, HA may still have a role in certain acute PHFs as well as select fracture sequalae. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the outcomes of HA when used in acute fractures and fracture sequelae. Methods Over a 16-year period (2000 - 2016), 122 primary HA performed for either acute PHFs or fracture sequelae were identified. Of these, 70 (57.4%) HA were performed within 4 weeks of the injury, whereas 52 (42.6%) underwent HA for fracture nonunion, malunion, or avascular necrosis. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years. Outcomes included the visual analog scale for pain, range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, complications, and reoperations inclusive of revision surgery. Cumulative incidence analysis was used to report implant survivorship with death as a competing risk. Results The mean follow-up time after HA was 4.8 years (range, 2-15 years) with no differences between groups (P = .102). Cohort comparisons demonstrated an older age (67.8 vs. 60.1; P = .004), lower rate of previous procedure (4.3% vs. 51.9%; P < .001), lower bone graft use (28.6% vs. 59.6%; P < .001), and a longer length of stay (5.9 vs. 3.0 days; P < .001) in the acute HA group. Additionally, no differences were observed between the acute and sequalae cohort in pain (2.0 vs. 2.5; P = .523), forward elevation (98° vs. 93°; P = .627), external rotation (30° vs. 23°; P = .215), internal rotation score (4.0 vs. 4.5; P = .589), satisfaction (P = .592), ASES scores (64.4 vs. 57.1; P = .168), complications (27.1% vs. 28.8%; P = .836), or reoperations (11.4% vs. 19.2%; P = .229). When comparing acute fractures and sequalae, the 15-year complication rates were 32.4% and 43.3%, respectively (P = .172), with 15-year reoperation rates of 13.7% and 24%, respectively (P = .098). Conclusions HA, whether performed acutely for a PHF or in a delayed fashion for fracture sequalae, demonstrated no statistically significant differences in outcomes for all examined parameters. HA in this setting may provide reasonable pain relief. However, limited motion, marginal ASES scores, and elevated rates of complications and reoperations can be expected up to 15 years postoperatively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors associated with complications after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures. METHODS A retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was conducted. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify patients treated for proximal humerus fracture with reverse TSA or hemiarthroplasty between 2005 and 2018. RESULTS One thousand five hundred sixty-three shoulder arthroplasties were conducted: 436 hemiarthroplasties and 1,127 reverse TSA. The overall complication rate was 15.4% (15.7% reverse TSA; 14.7% hemiarthroplasty) (P = 0.636). Most frequent complications included transfusion 11.1%, unplanned readmission 3.8%, and revision surgery 2.1%. A 1.1% incidence of thromboembolic events was noted. Complications occurred most frequently in patients older than 65 years; male; and patients with anemia, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification III-IV, inpatient procedure, bleeding disorders, duration of surgery >106 minutes, and length of stay >2.5 days. Patients with body mass index >36 kg/m2 had a decreased risk of 30-day postoperative complications. DISCUSSION There was a 15.4% complication rate in the early postoperative period. In addition, no notable difference was found in complication rates between groups (hemiarthroplasty: 14.7%; reverse TSA 15.7%). Future studies are needed to determine whether there is a difference between these groups in the long-term outcome and survivorship of these implants.

Abstract
Background The assessment of tuberosity position and union in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for complex proximal humerus fractures (PHF) has been carried out by means of routine simple radiographs. To evaluate the interobserver agreement and intraobserver reproducibility of the simple radiograph in comparison to the CT scan. Methods The position and consolidation of the tuberosities in 2 radiographic projections and in a CT scan of 32 consecutive patients operated on a RSA for PHF was assessed by 5 observers. Interobserver agreement and intraobserver reproducibility in both imaging tests were also assessed. Results The interobserver agreement for the greater tuberosity position was 0.52 in the simple radiograph and 0.45 in the CT scan. For the greater tuberosity union, agreement was moderate in the simple radiograph (0.52), but fair in the CT scan (0.35). For the lesser tuberosity position and union, the agreement was fair in the radiograph and poor in the CT scan. Conclusion Only moderate agreement was observed in the assessment of the position and union of the tuberosities in the RSA for PHF in the simple radiograph and no improvement in it was seen for the 2D CT scan.

PURPOSE To determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Constant-Murley Score (CMS), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Shoulder Score, and Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS Patients were prospectively followed up between January 2011 and February 2020. Inclusion criteria was that of patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty for massive irreparable cuff tear, cuff tear arthropathy, and fractures, with and without previous cuff repair, by a fellowship-trained surgeon. Patients were assessed preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months' postoperatively. Functional outcome was assessed by the CMS, UCLA Shoulder Score, and OSS and the respective MCIDs were determined using simple linear regression in consonance with patient satisfaction and expectation fulfilment. RESULTS A total of 131 patients were followed up for 12 months. The MCIDs at 3 months for CMS, UCLA Shoulder Score, and OSS were 7.2, 3.3, and 6.9, respectively. At 6 months, the MCIDs for CMS, UCLA Shoulder Score, and OSS were 6.6, 2.4, and 4.7, respectively. At 12 months, the MCIDs for CMS, UCLA Shoulder Score, and OSS were 9.3, 2.9, and 6.6, respectively. CONCLUSIONS CMS, UCLA Shoulder Score, and OSS are valid scores to calculate MCID after reverse shoulder arthroplasty, and the MCID established in this study can be used for the interpretation of these scores to help in statistical power analysis for future studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
Background This study compares patient-reported outcomes and range of motion (ROM) between adults with an AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association type C proximal humerus fracture managed nonoperatively, with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of patients >60 years of age treated with nonoperative management, ORIF, or RSA for AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association type 11C proximal humerus fractures from 2015 to 2018. Visual analog scale pain scores, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores, ROM values, and complication and reoperation rates were compared using analysis of variance for continuous variables and chi square analysis for categorical variables. Results A total of 88 patients were included: 41 nonoperative, 23 ORIF, and 24 RSA. At the 2-week follow-up, ORIF and RSA had lower visual analog scale scores and lower PROMIS pain interference scores (P < .05) than nonoperative treatment. At the 6-week follow-up, ORIF and RSA had lower visual analog scale, PROMIS pain interference, and PF scores and better ROM (P < .05) than nonoperative treatment. At the 3-month follow-up, ORIF and RSA had better ROM and PROMIS pain interference and PF scores (P < .05) than nonoperative treatment. At the 6-month follow-up, ORIF and RSA had better ROM and PROMIS PF scores (P < .05) than nonoperative treatment. There was a significantly higher complication rate in the ORIF group than in the non-operative and RSA groups (P < .05). Conclusion The management of AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association type 11C proximal humerus fractures in older adults with RSA or ORIF led to early decreased pain and improved physical function and ROM compared to nonoperative management at the expense of a higher complication rate in the ORIF group.

Abstract
The aim of this review article is to present the indications for an anatomical fracture prosthesis, mostly as a shoulder hemiprosthesis (SHEP) and its value in comparison to other procedures. The healing of the tuberosities in the anatomical position and an intact rotator cuff are particularly important for the successful implantation of a SHEP after proximal humeral fractures. For older patients (> 70 years), the use of reverse shoulder arthroplasty achieves more reliable results and is associated with a lower revision rate. The indications for implantation of a SHEP in non-reconstructible proximal humeral fractures, usually with a head split, should be carefully considered and can be used in cases with well-preserved large tuberosities and in younger patients. Complications of SHEP, such as secondary rotator cuff insufficiency, tuberosity dislocation or resorption and secondary glenoid wear, can be treated using a conversion or a change to reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
The present meta-analysis was conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) in the treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients. The Embase, Pubmed Central, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Cochrane Library and Chinese Biomedical databases were searched between January 2009 and January 2022 to identify relevant studies. According to the search strategy, a total of 210 associated studies were retrieved and 16 were finally included. Review Manager 5.4 software was used for the data analysis. This study indicated that patients in the RSA group had significantly improved treatment outcomes compared with patients in the HA group, as assessed by Constant-Murley Shoulder Outcome Score (95% CI, 1.69-3.76; P<0.001), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (95% CI, 11.81-24.88; P<0.001) and shoulder range of motion (ROM; 95% CI, 3.41-9.07; P<0.001). However, the HA group was superior to the RSA group in terms of the Oxford Shoulder score (95% CI, 2.89-11.11; P<0.001). There was no significant statistical difference between the two groups in terms of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score and complications. Overall, for the treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures in the elderly, the RSA group had improved postoperative ROM and functional scores compared with the HA group, without significant difference in the incidence of complications. However, HA remains a safe and reliable treatment option.

Abstract
Complex proximal humeral fractures, especially in elderly patients, often require arthroplastic surgical treatment. Traditionally, shoulder hemiarthroplasty (HA) is the method of choice, resulting in long implant survival and a painless shoulder; however, shoulder HA has heterogeneous clinical outcomes related to the correct position of the implant, both in terms of height and version, and the anatomical consolidation of tuberosities. Today, reverse shoulder arthroplasties are increasingly used to treat such fractures. These techniques result in better functional outcomes compared to HAs, especially regarding anterior flexion, but implant longevity has not been established. The development of specific prosthetic humeral components for the treatment of fractures, which were recently introduced in the clinical practice, led to better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are managed with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), hemiarthroplasty (HA), reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), or nonoperatively. Given the mixed results in the literature, the optimal treatment is unclear to surgeons. The purpose of this study was to survey orthopedic shoulder and trauma surgeons to identify the patient- and fracture-related characteristics that influence surgical decision-making. METHODS We distributed a 23-question closed-response email survey to members of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Orthopaedic Trauma Association. Questions posed to respondents included demographics, surgical planning, indications for ORIF and arthroplasty, and the use of surgical augmentation with ORIF. Numerical and multiple-choice responses were compared between shoulder and trauma surgeons using unpaired t-tests and χ2 tests, respectively. RESULTS Respondents included 172 shoulder and 78 trauma surgeons. When surgery is indicated, most shoulder and trauma surgeons treat 2-part (69%) and 3-part (53%) PHFs with ORIF. Indications for managing PHFs with arthroplasty instead of ORIF include an intra-articular fracture (82%), bone quality (76%), age (72%), and previous rotator cuff dysfunction (70%). In patients older than 50 years, 90% of respondents cited a head-split fracture as an indication for arthroplasty. Both shoulder and trauma surgeons preferred RSA for treating PHFs presenting with a head-split fracture in an elderly patient (94%), pre-existing rotator cuff tear (84%), and pre-existing glenohumeral arthritis with an intact cuff (75%). Similarly, both groups preferred ORIF for PHFs in young patients with a fracture dislocation (94%). In contrast, although most trauma surgeons preferred to manage PHFs in low functioning patients with a significantly displaced fracture or nonreconstructable injury nonoperatively (84% and 86%, respectively), shoulder surgeons preferred either RSA (44% and 46%, respectively) or nonoperative treatment (54% and 49%, respectively) (P < .001). Similarly, although trauma surgeons preferred to manage PHFs in young patients with a head-split fracture or limited humeral head subchondral bone with ORIF (98% and 87%, respectively), shoulder surgeons preferred either ORIF (54% and 62%, respectively) or HA (43% and 34%, respectively) (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS ORIF and HA are preferred for treating simple PHFs in young patients with good bone quality or fracture dislocations, whereas RSA and nonoperative management are preferred for complex fractures in elderly patients with poor bone quality, rotator cuff dysfunction, or osteoarthritis. The preferred management differed between shoulder and trauma surgeons for half of the common PHF presentations, highlighting the need for future research.

Abstract
Head-split fractures are proximal humerus fractures (PHF) that result from fracture lines traversing the articular surface. While head-split fractures are rare, surgical treatment of these complex injuries can be extremely challenging and is associated with high rates of complications. Treatment using primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been associated with moderate complication rates and reproducible clinical results. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes, and complication rates of RSA for head-split PHF. Twenty-six patients were evaluated based on Constant Score (CS) and range of motion of both shoulders and Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV). Radiographic analysis evaluated tuberosity healing, prosthetic loosening and scapular notching. Patients achieved good clinical results with a CS of 73.7 points and SSV of 82% after a mean follow-up of 50 months. The relative CS comparing operated versus the unaffected shoulder was 92%. Greater tuberosity healing was achieved in 61%. Patients who suffered a high-energy trauma reached a significantly greater functional outcome. Patients who suffered multifragmentation to the humeral head performed the worst. There were no cases of loosening; scapular notching was visible in two cases. The complication rate was 8%. RSA is an adequate treatment option with for head-split PHF in elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty is commonly performed for elective indications, such as cuff tear arthropathies, salvage arthropathies and tumours with excellent outcomes. However, its use in treating acute conditions such as 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures in the elderly has been more controversial. The aim of our study is to directly compare the short-term intra-operative and post-operative outcomes of RTSA for traumatic proximal humeral fractures as compared to elective shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS We retrospectively identified 78 consecutive patients who had undergone RTSA from 2009 to 2018 at a tertiary hospital. These patients were classified by etiology as either elective or trauma cases. Comparative analysis of the baseline demographics, as well as post-operative surgical, functional and range-of-movement outcomes between the two groups was performed. RESULTS 57 Patients made up the elective cohort and 14 patients made up the trauma cohort. The elective cohort was significantly older compared to the traumatic fracture cohort (73.2 vs 78.6, p = 0.026). No significant differences were observed when comparing post-operative surgical outcomes. At 6 months, the elective cohort demonstrated greater forward flexion (105.8° vs 127.2°, p = 0.041), as well as higher SF-36 PCS (27.85 vs 43.99, p = 0.018) and ASES scores (35.5 vs 76.31, p = 0.009). However, these differences resolved by 1-year post-op and no significant differences were noted comparing functional and range-of-movement outcomes at 1-year post-op. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that the application of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in the management of traumatic humeral fractures may produce similarly favourable 1-year outcomes to that performed for elective etiologies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in the elderly should provide early mobilization to maintain autonomy and self-care possibility, avoiding further surgery for complications. Nowadays, there is not a gold standard for treatment. Aim of our study was to review our experience with the use of Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA) for the treatment of these fractures in the elderly, evaluating complications and functional results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-one patients older than 65 were treated with RTSA at our Institute between June 2005 and December 2017: there were 14 males and 77 females, with a mean age of 76 years (range 65-87 years). There were 58 fractures (20 Neer 3, 38 Neer 4) and 33 fracture-dislocations (7 Neer 3, 26 Neer 4). Complications were recorded, and functional outcomes were evaluated using the DASH score and Constant score (CS). RESULTS Twenty-three complications occurred: 8 cases of scapular notching, 5 neurologic palsies, 4 dislocations, 3 intraoperative diaphyseal fractures, and subclavian artery damage, deep infection, and radiolucent line in one each. No aseptic loosening or breakage was observed. Further surgeries were necessary in 3 cases only, whereas all patients retained their implant at last follow-up. Functional results were satisfactory: mean abduction was 93°, mean flexion was 110°, mean active internal-rotation reached 35°, mean active external-rotation was 25°, mean CS was 54 points and mean DASH score was 45 points. DISCUSSION Surgical treatment of complex PHFs should be a "one-shot surgery," especially in the elderly, since further surgeries could compromise patient outcomes and survival. Additional surgery due to complications is less frequent after RTSA than other techniques. A stable reconstruction permitting early mobilization is fundamental in the elderly. Usually, a prolonged immobilization is recommended after ORIF, TSA, and hemiarthroplasty to provide a stable fixation, whereas RTSA allows early mobilization. CONCLUSIONS In elderly with inadequate bone stock and needing early recovery of autonomy in daily activities, RTSA effectively treats complex PHFs. The incidence of complications requiring revision surgery is low and functional results are satisfactory and predictable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is ongoing controversy regarding optimal treatment for full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Given that the evidence surrounding the use of various treatment options has expanded, an overall assessment is required. OBJECTIVES The following were compared to determine which resulted in improved patient-reported function, pain, and reoperation rates for each: (1) double-row (DR) fixation and single-row (SR) fixation in arthroscopic cuff repair; (2) latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT) with lower trapezius transfer (LTT), partial rotator cuff repair, and superior capsular reconstruction (SCR); and (3) early and late surgical intervention. METHODS Medline, Embase, and Cochrane were searched through to April 20, 2021. Additional studies were identified from reviews. The following were included: (1) All English-language randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in patients ≥18 years of age comparing SR and DR fixation, (2) observational studies comparing LDT with LTT, partial repair, and SCR, and (3) observational studies comparing early vs. late treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. RESULTS A total of 15 RCTs (n = 1096 randomized patients) were included in the meta-analysis of SR vs. DR fixation. No significant standardized mean differences in function (0.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.09, 0.24) or pain (-0.01, 95% CI -0.52, 0.49) were observed. There was a difference in retear rates in favor of DR compared with SR fixation (RR 1.56, 95% CI 1.06, 2.29). Four studies were included in the systematic review of LDT compared with a surgical control. LDT and partial repair did not reveal any differences in function (-1.12, 95% CI -4.02, 1.78) on comparison. A single study compared arthroscopically assisted LDT to LTT and observed a nonstatistical difference in the Constant score of 14.7 (95% CI -4.06, 33.46). A single RCT compared LDT with SCR and revealed a trend toward superiority for the Constant score with SCR with a mean difference of -9.6 (95% CI -19.82, 0.62). Comparison of early vs. late treatment revealed a paucity of comparative studies with varying definitions of "early" and "late" treatment, which made meaningful interpretation of the results difficult. CONCLUSION DR fixation leads to similar improvement in function and pain compared with SR fixation and results in a higher healing rate. LDT transfer yields results similar to those from partial repair, LTT, and SCR in functional outcomes. Further study is required to determine the optimal timing of treatment and to increase confidence in these findings. Future trials of high methodologic quality comparing LDT with LTT and SCR are required.

Conversion of Hemiarthroplasty to Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty with Humeral Stem Retention. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11030834.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mid-term clinical results of an ongoing case series on conversion reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a modular prosthesis system. We included 17 elderly patients revised for failed hemiarthroplasty after proximal humeral fracture, of which 13 were converted using a modular reverse shoulder prosthesis. Four could not be converted due to overstuffing. For the conversion RSA, we determined the Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score, visual analogue scale for pain and satisfaction, and range of motion preoperatively, at one year, and at the last follow-up. All measured clinical outcomes improved significantly at both follow-up time points (p < 0.05). The mean duration of surgery was 118.4 min (range: 80.0 to 140.0 min). We observed complications in three patients; these included one late infection and two aseptic stem loosenings. Modular shoulder arthroplasty is a suitable procedure for conversion RSA in elderly patients. All measured postoperative clinical outcomes improved significantly, the complication rate was acceptable, and no prosthesis-related complications occurred. Conversion RSA, although not feasible in every case, is a viable treatment option in the elderly, which can provide successful mid-term results.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 31:252-260. [PMID: 34363934 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of our study was to compare patient-reported outcome measures, range of motion (ROM), complication rates, and reoperation rates after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for proximal humeral fractures between patients treated acutely (≤30 days after injury), those treated after initial nonoperative treatment (>30 days after injury), and those treated after failed open reduction-internal fixation. Secondarily, we aimed to identify any patient-, injury-, or surgery-related factors independently associated with our response variables. METHODS We identified 576 patients who sustained a proximal humeral fracture treated with primary or revision shoulder arthroplasty between January 2003 and August 2018. The final cohort included 153 patients. Multivariable analysis was used to assess whether explanatory variables were associated with our response variables. RESULTS Initial nonoperative treatment compared with acute rTSA was associated with worse Shoulder Subjective Value (P = .04), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score (P = .03), and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index disability subscale score (P = .03). Only depression was independently associated with worse visual analog scale pain score (P = .04). There was no significant difference in postoperative ROM between the initial treatment groups. Older age was associated with decreased ROM in all planes. Additionally, ipsilateral upper-extremity injury was associated with decreased active abduction (P = .03), and cemented humeral stems were associated with decreased passive abduction (P = .03). Initial nonoperative treatment was associated with increased complication rates (odds ratio, 3.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-12.01), and male sex was associated with higher rates of reoperation (odds ratio, 3.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.31-9.51). CONCLUSIONS Patients who undergo initial periods of nonoperative management have worse functional outcomes and higher complication rates than those who undergo acute rTSA for proximal humeral fractures. Patients who undergo rTSA after failed open reduction-internal fixation show no difference in patient-reported outcomes compared with those who undergo acute rTSA. In addition, male patients are at higher risk of reoperation, whereas older patients are at risk of decreased ROM. Patients with preoperative depression are at risk of increased pain at 2 years after surgery.

Clinical outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for elective indications versus acute 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 31:e14-e21. [PMID: 34454040 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has continued to increase in clinical utility and popularity as an effective treatment for cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs), osteoarthritis, and acute 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures. Performing RTSA for acute proximal humeral fractures presents the unique challenges of tuberosity management, bone loss, and instability compared with elective indications such as CTA or irreparable RCTs. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes, active range of motion (ROM), radiographic outcomes, and complications between patients undergoing elective RTSA (RTSA-E) and those undergoing RTSA for fracture (RTSA-F). METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We queried 3 electronic databases (Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed) using the search term "reverse" AND "shoulder" AND "arthroplasty." Studies investigating the clinical outcomes of RTSA for traumatic and/or elective indications were included. Studies were excluded if they included RTSA performed for fracture sequelae, inflammatory arthritis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, or avascular necrosis. Data collected included patient demographic characteristics, subjective outcome measurements, ROM, and complications. The pooled means and proportions along with their 95% confidence intervals were generated by a random-effects model that incorporated the between-study variations in weighting. RESULTS A total of 134 studies (11,651 shoulders) investigating the clinical outcomes of RTSA-E patients and 66 studies (3117 shoulders) investigating RTSA-F patients were included in this systematic review. Analysis of patient-reported outcomes demonstrated that RTSA-F patients experienced significantly lower Constant scores than RTSA-E patients; however, relative Constant scores, Simple Shoulder Test scores, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, and visual analog scale pain scores were similar. RTSA-F patients also had significantly lower forward elevation, abduction, and external rotation. RTSA-F patients experienced tuberosity complications at a significantly higher rate than RTSA-E patients (25.9% vs. 4.1%). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of other complications such as heterotopic ossification, radiographic loosening, revision, nerve injury, postoperative stiffness, infection, dislocation, and component loosening. DISCUSSION RTSA performed for acute 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures yields overall worse clinical outcomes and active ROM compared with RTSA performed for elective indications including CTA, massive irreparable RCTs, and osteoarthritis with deformity. Tuberosity healing may be a major contributing factor to the difference in clinical outcomes. In the setting of RTSA-F, patient and surgeon expectations may need to be tempered and appropriate measures undertaken to optimize tuberosity healing.

Abstract
Introduction: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is becoming popular in the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures (PHFs). Greater tuberosity healing may influence functional outcomes and range of motion (ROM) of shoulder after RSA. In addition, the design of prosthesis may impact the healing rate of greater tuberosity. The purpose of this study is to know: (1) does the healing of greater tuberosity affect the functional outcomes and ROM of shoulder? and (2) does the design of prosthesis affect the healing rate of greater tuberosity? Materials and Methods: PubMed, Ovid/Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies comparing the clinical outcomes between the healed groups and the non-healed groups after RSA. Results: For functional outcomes, the results showed that the healed group had better Constant scores (CSs) (p < 0.0001). For ROM, the healed group showed better flexion (p < 0.0001), abduction (p = 0.02), and external rotation (p < 0.00001) of shoulder. For the design of prosthesis, the mean healing rate of greater tuberosity (82.7%) in patients with fracture-dedicated prosthesis was higher than those (63.0%) in patients with standard prosthesis. Subgroup analyses showed that the CS (p = 0.12) and abduction (p = 0.96) of patients using fracture-dedicated prostheses were not different between the healed groups and the non-healed groups. Meta-regression showed that there was no significant relationship between the design of prosthesis and CS (p = 0.312), flexion (p = 0.422), or external rotation (p = 0.776). Conclusion: Our meta-analysis showed that the healed groups could obtain better functional outcomes and ROM than the non-healed groups. In addition, fracture-dedicated prostheses promoted the healing rate of greater tuberosity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Compared with hemiarthroplasty (HA), reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) may provide greater cost and health-related benefits for patients with complex three- and four-part proximal humeral fractures. This study set out to compare RTSA versus HA for the incremental cost per incremental improvement in quality adjusted life years (QALYs) for a hypothetical cohort of patients with proximal humerus fractures. METHODS Parameters and characteristics for a hypothetical cohort of elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures were collected through the literature. A cohort-level Markov decision model was constructed. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios representing the difference in cost divided by the difference in QALYs were calculated, and scenario, one-way, and probabilistic analysis were conducted. RESULTS RTSA was associated with lower cost and greater effectiveness compared with HA. The predicted cost difference corresponded to a saving of $99,626 per 100 individuals treated, and the predicted difference in QALY was 16.8 per 100 individuals treated. Results were sensitive to the discount rate, the health-related quality of life assigned to health states, and the cost of the surgical procedures. In probabilistic analysis, 77.1% of iterations were cost-effective at a threshold willingness-to-pay for a QALY of $100,000 US dollars. DISCUSSION Findings suggest that RTSA may be a cost-effective alternative to HA for treating elderly patients requiring surgery for proximal humerus fractures.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) predictably report reduced pain and improved function postoperatively. However, it is not known if patients with differing preoperative active motion achieve the same benefit after surgery. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs), range of motion (ROM), and satisfaction after RTSA in patients with moderate-to-severe pain with preserved active preoperative ROM compared with matched controls with restricted preoperative active ROM. Methods A multicenter shoulder arthroplasty registry was utilized to identify patients with at least two-year clinical follow-up after RTSA with a 135° implant. The study cohort with preserved motion included patients with greater than one standard deviation above the overall mean for preoperative forward elevation (FE) (140°) as well as a preoperative visual analog pain scale (VAS) ≥ 5.0. The control cohort with more restricted motion had preoperative FE of less than 140° and also with preoperative VAS ≥5.0. The control patients were matched 2:1 to study patients by age (±2 years), sex, and preoperative VAS (±1.5). Outcomes measured were as follows: PROs, ROM, strength, and strength and satisfaction. Results Twenty-seven patients were identified that comprised the preserved preoperative FE study cohort; 54 patients were included in the restricted elevation cohort as controls. The groups were similar at baseline for demographics, surgical diagnoses, and most PROs, other than the Constant-Murley, which was higher in the preserved motion cohort. At two years postoperatively, both cohorts demonstrated similar PROs, strength, and ROM (other than internal rotation with the arm abducted 90 degrees) and had a similar number of patients who rated the RTSA as meeting or exceeding their expectations. The change in ROM from preoperatively was significantly different with the restricted cohort, achieving a larger increase in forward flexion (51 ± 26° vs. −13 ± 35°, P < .001). Conclusion Patients indicated for RTSA with preserved preoperative FE and moderate pain achieve similar final ROM, pain reduction, increases, and strength compared with patients who undergo RTSA with restricted preoperative FE. Despite losing on average 13 degrees of FE from preoperatively by two years postoperatively, patients with preserved preoperative FE are comparably satisfied with their outcome.

Abstract
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is increasingly used for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures and fracture sequelae. In 2021, half a dozen models of fracture stems are commercially available, reflecting its growing utility for fracture management. Prosthesis designs, bone grafting and tuberosity fixation techniques have evolved to allow better and more reliable fixation of tuberosities and bony ingrowth. Patients with anatomical tuberosity healing not only have an increased range of active anterior elevation and external rotation, but also experience fewer complications and longer prosthesis survival. This review provides an overview of recent evidence on basic and fracture-specific RTSA design features as well as tuberosity fixation techniques that can influence tuberosity healing.

Abstract
➤ Multiple studies comparing nonoperative and operative treatment for displaced proximal humeral fractures in the geriatric population have demonstrated minimal differences in functional outcomes. Factors such as surgeon experience as well as the quality and maintenance of the reduction may influence operative outcomes, and their impact on these findings merits further investigation. ➤ In the treatment of 2 and 3-part fractures involving the surgical neck, intramedullary nailing has demonstrated functional outcomes that are comparable with those of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). ➤ In the geriatric population, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has demonstrated improved functional outcomes, with a decreased rate of reoperation, compared with hemiarthroplasty. Tuberosity repair has been shown to improve functional outcomes and range of motion after both procedures and should be performed at the time of arthroplasty. ➤ Several authors have demonstrated the negative effect of osteopenia on outcomes after ORIF of proximal humeral fractures. Augmentative procedures, including cortical strut augmentation, are being investigated to address this issue; their role in the treatment of these fractures is unclear at this time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in the United States and examine changes in age- and sex-based procedure rates. A secondary goal was to determine the incidence of hemiarthroplasty. METHODS Using nationally representative data along with US Census data, we identified >508,000 cases of primary RTSA, anatomic TSA, and shoulder hemiarthroplasty from 2012 to 2017. Trends in the incidence of each procedure were analyzed, and sex- and age-adjusted procedure rates were calculated. RESULTS From 2012 to 2017, the population-adjusted incidence of primary RTSA increased from 7.3 cases per 100,000 persons (22,835 procedures) to 19.3 cases per 100,000 (62,705 procedures); anatomic TSA increased from 9.5 cases per 100,000 (29,685 procedures) to 12.5 cases per 100,000 (40,665 procedures); and hemiarthroplasty decreased from 3.7 cases per 100,000 (11,695 procedures) to 1.5 cases per 100,000 (4930 procedures). These trends were observed among male and female patients, as well as all age groups. The greatest increase in incidence was seen in male patients as well as patients aged 50-64 years undergoing RTSA. CONCLUSION The incidence of primary RTSA and incidence of anatomic TSA have increased substantially in the United States from 2012 to 2017 whereas the incidence of hemiarthroplasty has decreased.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare outcomes between hemiarthroplasty (HA) and reversed shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) as a treatment for dislocated 3-part and 4-part proximal humerus fractures in the elderly population. DESIGN Prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial. SETTING Three Level-1 trauma centers. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS This study included 31 patients of which 14 were randomized into the HA group and 17 into the RSA group. INTERVENTION Patients randomized to the HA group were treated with a cemented-stem Aequalis-fracture HA and patients randomized to the RSA group with a cemented-stem Aequalis-fracture RSA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Primary outcomes consisted of range of motion and constant score. Secondary outcomes were the visual analog scale for pain, DASH score, SF-12 scores, and radiographic outcomes. RESULTS After 6 and 12 months of follow-up, RSA showed a significant higher anterior elevation (105 degrees vs. 80 degrees, P = 0.002 and 110 degrees vs. 90 degrees, P = 0.02, respectively) and constant score (60 vs. 41, P = 0.01 and 51 vs. 32, P = 0.05, respectively) compared with HA. There were no significant differences in external and internal rotation. Also, visual analog scale pain, DASH scores, SF-12 scores, and radiological healing of the tuberosities and heterotopic ossification did not show any significant differences between groups. CONCLUSION RSA showed significant superior functional outcomes for anterior elevation and constant score compared with HA for dislocated 3-part and 4-part proximal humerus fractures after short-term follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes associated with anatomic healing of the greater tuberosity in patients treated for proximal humerus fractures with reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Our hypothesis was that anatomic healing of the greater tuberosity leads to less complications and better functional outcomes. METHODS RESULTS: Patients from the GT+ group presented better functional outcomes than the GT- group in all evaluated outcomes. Mean constant score was 61 ± 14 versus 56 ± 15, and the subjective shoulder value (SSV) was 77 ± 14 versus 64 ± 21 (p < 0.001). Forward elevation was 128° ± 28° versus 107° ± 30° and external rotation was 23° ± 17° versus 14° ± 17° (p < 0.001). Twenty patients presented with at least one prosthetic dislocation (7 GT+ vs 13 GT-) while nine patients were revised for humeral loosening (1 GT+ vs 8 GT-). The use of a fracture specific humeral stem was associated with a higher rate of greater tuberosity healing. CONCLUSIONS Non-anatomic healing of the greater tuberosity was associated with a higher dislocation and humeral loosening rate. Anatomic healing of the greater tuberosity lead to better functional outcomes, less humeral-sided complications, and fewer re-operations.

Abstract
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) was originally developed because of unsatisfactory results with anatomic shoulder arthroplasty options for the majority of degenerative shoulder conditions and fractures. After initial concerns about RTSA longevity, indications were extended to primary osteoarthritis with glenoid deficiency, massive cuff tears in younger patients, fracture, tumour and failed anatomic total shoulder replacement. Traditional RTSA by Grammont has undergone a number of iterations such as glenoid lateralization, reduced neck-shaft angle, modular, stemless components and onlay systems. The incidence of complications such as dislocation, notching and acromial fractures has also evolved. Computer navigation, 3D planning and patient-specific implantation have been in use for several years and mixed-reality guided implantation is currently being trialled. Controversies in RTSA include lateralization, stemless humeral components, subscapularis repair and treatment of acromial fractures.

Fracture-Specific and Conventional Stem Designs in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Acute Proximal Humerus Fractures-A Retrospective, Observational Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10020175. [PMID: 33419012 PMCID: PMC7825286 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10020175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Tuberosity healing and stem design can be outcome-dependent parameters in hemiarthroplasty for proximal humerus fractures (PHF). The relevance of fracture-specific stem design in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is still a matter of debate. This retrospective study evaluates tuberosity healing and function for fracture specific stems (A) compared to conventional stems (B) in RSA for complex PHF in 26 patients (w = 21, mean age 73.5 years). Clinically, range of motion (ROM), Constant-Murley-Score (CS), Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), and external rotation lag signs (ERLS) were evaluated. Healing of greater tuberosity (GT) and lesser tuberosity (LT), scapular notching, and loosening were examined radiologically. There were no statistical significant differences with regards to CS (A: 73 ± 11; B: 77 ± 9 points), SSV (A: 78% ± 11%; B: 84% ± 11%), external rotation (A: 18° ± 20°; B: 24° ± 19°), or internal rotation (A: 5.7 ± 2.2; B: 6.7 ± 2.8 CS-points) (p > 0.05). Mean forward flexion was superior for group A (p = 0.036). Consolidation of GT (82%) and LT (73%) was similar in both groups. Anatomical healing was slightly higher in group B (p > 0.05). Scapular notching was found in 27% (A) and 55% (B) (p > 0.05). RSA for PHF provides good to excellent clinical results. The quantitative and qualitative union rate for both cohorts was similar, indicating that fracture stems with open metaphyseal designs to allow for bone ingrowth do not improve tuberosity healing. ERLS correlates with a worse function in CS and ROM in all planes.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty compared to stemmed hemiarthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures: a registry analysis of 5946 patients. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2020; 29:2538-2547. [PMID: 32684280 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 03/28/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing trend toward the use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) over stemmed hemiarthroplasty (HA) for the management of proximal humeral fractures. There are limited data available comparing the revision rates for RTSA and HA in the setting of a fracture. The aim of this study was to compare the revision rates for RTSA and HA when used for the treatment of a fracture and to analyze the effect of demographics and prosthesis fixation on these revision rates. METHODS Data obtained from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry from April 16, 2004, to December 31, 2017, included all procedures for primary diagnosis proximal humeral fracture. The analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates of survivorship and hazard ratios from Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Over the study period, there were 3049 (51%) RTSA and 2897 (49%) HA procedures. The cumulative percent revision rate at 9 years was lower for the RTSA than for the HA: 7.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.8-10.1) compared with 11.7% (95% CI, 10.3-13.2). Between 0 and 6 months, the HA had a significantly lower revision rate than the RTSA (hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.34-0.72; P < .001). Between 6 month and 3 years, the HA had a significantly higher revision rate. For the RTSA, males have a significantly higher rate of revision compared with females. There is a higher rate of early revision due to instability in younger persons (55-64) and males. For both RTSA and HA, cemented prostheses have lower revision rates compared with cementless prostheses. CONCLUSIONS RTSA has a significantly lower revision rate compared with HA for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in females. Younger patients (<65) and males are at risk of early revision secondary to instability. In these patient groups, either alternatives to RTSA or further attention to fixation of tuberosities and shoulder rehabilitation may be indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons multicenter taskforce studying proximal humerus fractures reached no consensus on which outcome measures to include in future studies, and currently no gold standard exists. Knowledge of commonly used outcome measures will allow standardization, enabling more consistent proximal humerus fracture treatment comparison. This study identifies the most commonly reported outcome measures for proximal humerus fracture management in recent literature. METHODS A systematic review identified all English-language articles assessing proximal humerus fractures from 2008 to 2018 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Review articles, meta-analyses, revision surgery, chronic injuries, studies with <15 patients, studies with <12 month follow-up, anatomic/biomechanical studies, and technique articles were excluded. Included studies were assessed for patient demographics and outcome scores, patient satisfaction, complications, range of motion, and strength. RESULTS Of 655 articles, 74 met inclusion criteria. The number of proximal humerus fractures averaged 74.2 per study (mean patient age, 65.6 years). Mean follow-up was 30.7 months. Neer type 1, 2, 3, and 4 fractures were included in 8%, 51%, 81%, and 88% of studies, respectively. Twenty-two patient-reported outcome instruments were used including the Constant-Murley score (65%), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score (31%), visual analog scale pain (27%), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (18%). An average of 2.2 measures per study were reported. CONCLUSION Considerable variability exists in the use of outcome measures across the proximal humerus fracture literature, making treatment comparison challenging. We recommend that future literature on proximal humerus fractures use at least 3 outcomes measures and 1 general health score until the optimal scores are determined.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Shoulder surgery has been rapidly expanding over the past 20 years and now makes up a large share of orthopedic surgery practice. Data on how this activity has changed is not available in France due to a lack of registries. The study objectives were to: (1) quantify the number of shoulder surgeries in France, (2) predict how this activity will change over the next 50 years based on extreme scenarios. METHODS This study involved an analysis of shoulder surgery data taken from the French hospital discharge database (PMSI). Two mathematical scenarios were applied to define the change over time: the first only considered the evolution in the population and changes in the age brackets over time; the second extrapolated the trends observed over the past few years (2012 to 2018). RESULTS In 2018, there were 234,612 procedures coded as primary shoulder surgery procedures in France. This activity increased 24.5% between 2012 and 2018 and is projected to increase 18% to 161% from now to 2050, depending on the scenario (p<0.0001). Rotator cuff surgery procedures were done 173,799 times - of which 61,055 were tendon repair - representing 74% of all shoulder procedures. The scenarios point to an increase of 13.6% to more than 300% (p<0.0001). Primary shoulder arthroplasty corresponded to 17,043 procedures in 2018 (7.3% of all procedures), with a 47% increase between 2012 and 2018. Between 2018 and 2050, the number of total shoulder arthroplasty procedures is expected to increase 31% to 322% (p<0.0001). The total number of revision arthroplasty procedures was 1508, increasing by 39% from 2012 to 2018. There were 14,229 procedures done for anterior or posterior instability in 2018 (6% of total). Bone block procedures made up 53% of these cases. This increased 17% between 2012 and 2018, with a projected increase of 5% to 82% up to 2050 (p<0.01). DISCUSSION Shoulder surgery is the third largest activity in the orthopedic realm after hip and knee surgery, although it has seen the largest increases in recent years. This growth in shoulder procedures should continue over the next decades. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, descriptive epidemiology study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is currently no established consensus on best treatment for complex proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in the elderly. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a viable option in this population but many times is used as a salvage procedure. METHODS A systematic review of studies comparing RTSA as a primary treatment for PHF versus as a salvage procedure following failed open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), humeral intramedullary nailing, hemiarthroplasty (HA) or non-operative treatment was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Pooled outcomes and sub-group analyses assessing range of motion, patient reported outcomes and complications were examined using RevMan. RESULTS Five articles were included in final analysis with 104 patients in the primary RTSA group and 147 in the salvage RTSA group compromising 251 total patients. Primary RTSA had a statistically significant advantage in range of motion (forward flexion and external rotation), patient reported outcomes, and complications compared to salvage RTSA. CONCLUSIONS Based on the best available evidence, primary RTSA may result in slightly better patient reported outcomes, range of motion and a lower rate of complication when compared to salvage RTSA. Further high-quality prospective studies are needed to confirm the findings of the current review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fractures are common in the elderly population and are often treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The purpose of this systematic review was to compare tuberosity healing and functional outcomes in patients undergoing RSA with humeral inclinations of 135°, 145°, and 155°. METHODS A systematic review was performed of RSA for proximal humerus fracture using Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Radiographic and functional outcome data were extracted to evaluate tuberosity healing according to humeral inclination. Analysis was also performed of healed vs. nonhealed tuberosities. RESULTS A total of 873 patients in 21 studies were included in the analysis. The mean age was 77.5 years (range of 58-97) and the mean follow-up was 26.2 months. Tuberosity healing was 83% in the 135° group compared with 69% in the 145° group and 66% in the 155° group (P = .030). Postoperative abduction was highest in the 155° group (P < .001). No significant difference was found in forward flexion, external rotation, or postoperative Constant score between groups. Patients with tuberosity healing demonstrated 18° higher forward flexion (P = .008) and 16° greater external rotation (P < .001) than those with unhealed tuberosities. CONCLUSION RSA for fracture with 135° humeral inclination is associated with higher tuberosity healing rates compared with 145° or 155°. Postoperative abduction is highest with a 155° implant, but there is no difference in in postoperative forward flexion, external rotation, or Constant score according to humeral inclination. Patients with healed tuberosities have superior postoperative forward flexion and external rotation than those with unhealed tuberosities.

Abstract
Since the development of the first anatomic shoulder replacement in 1950, the technology has undergone substantial evolution, making it a viable option to manage variable shoulder problems, including severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fracture of the proximal humerus. However, the design of conventional total shoulder arthroplasty prostheses does not account for concomitant musculotendinous pathologies, including larger rotator cuff tears, which are associated with fatty infiltration of the infraspinatus muscle and substantially compromise the outcome of total shoulder arthroplasty. For patients without a rotator cuff or with rotator cuff tear arthropathy, hemiarthroplasty was the conventional treatment. Unfortunately, for these indications, hemiarthroplasty may provide little improvement in range of motion or function. Recently, radical changes in prosthetic design were made that transformed poorly performing reverse ball-and-socket total shoulder prosthesis into a highly successful salvage implant for pseudoparalytic and severe rotator cuff–deficient shoulders. The annual number of reverse total shoulder arthroplasties is increasing dramatically, and the indications also have expanded to include several conditions. In this review, the current concept of variable shoulder arthroplasty is discussed for clinical physicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fracture treatment varies by surgeon preference and patient factors. This study compares patient and fracture characteristics, with outcomes between current surgical treatment options. METHODS Between 1999 and 2018, 425 proximal humerus fractures underwent acute surgical management: open reduction internal fixation (ORIF, n = 211), hemiarthroplasty (HA, n = 108), or reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA, n = 106). Patient and fracture characteristics included age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA), and fracture classification. Postoperative motion at 3, 6, and minimum 12 months (avg 20 ± 21 months), radiographic outcomes, and postoperative falls were analyzed. RESULTS Average age for treatment groups was 65 ± 13 years (range: 18-93 years). Fractures were classified as 2- (11%), 3- (41%), or 4-part (48%). Age, ASA, and fracture classification were associated with selected surgical management (P < .0001, =.001, <.0001, respectively). Outcomes showed a significant improvement in forward flexion from 3 months to 6 months in all groups (P < .0001). No difference in final motion was seen between groups. Radiographic union was higher in ORIF (89%), and similar between HA (79%) and RSA (77%, P = .005). Rate of reoperation was RSA 6.6%, ORIF 17.5%, and hemiarthroplasty 15.7% (P = .029). Postoperatively, 23% patients had at least 1 fall, of which 73% resulted in fractures. CONCLUSION Older patients with high ASA were treated with arthroplasty, and younger patients with lower ASA were treated with ORIF. All groups showed improvements in motion. At minimum 1 year of follow-up, there was no difference in motion between groups. ORIF and HA showed significantly more reoperations compared with RSA. Patients should be counseled about reoperation, fall risk, and prevention.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to examine trends, outcomes, and principles in treatment of proximal humerus fractures in the elderly with a critical focus on reverse shoulder arthroplasty as a developing treatment option. RECENT FINDINGS Recent literature shows an increase in reverse shoulder arthroplasty and a decrease in hemiarthroplasty performed for proximal humerus fractures. More predictable outcomes and lower revision rates are seen in older individuals treated primarily or secondarily with reverse shoulder arthroplasty compared to those treated with hemiarthroplasty. We report current and historical treatments, outcomes, and principles in reverse shoulder arthroplasty for treatment of complex, displaced proximal humerus fractures in older individuals (≥ 65 years old).

Pre-operative factors affecting the indications for anatomical and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in primary osteoarthritis and outcome comparison in patients aged seventy years and older. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2020; 44:1131-1141. [PMID: 32130442 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-020-04501-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the pre-operative factors affecting anatomical and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA and RTSA) indications in primary osteoarthritis and compared outcomes in patients aged 70 years and older. METHODS Fifty-eight patients received a TSA with an all-polyethylene glenoid component (APGC) or an RTSA with/without glenoid lateralization and the same curved short-stem humeral component. Active anterior and lateral elevation (AAE, ALE), internal and external rotation (IR, ER), pain, and the Constant-Murley score (CS) were recorded pre and post-operatively. Pre-operative rotator cuff (RC) fatty infiltration (FI) and modified Walch glenoid morphology were assessed. Humeral and glenoid component radiological outcomes were recorded. RESULTS RTSA were older than TSA patients (p = 0.006), had lower pre-operative AAE (p < 0.001), ALE (p < 0.001), IR (p = 0.002), pain (p = 0.008) and CS (p < 0.001), and greater supraspinatus FI (p < 0.001). At a mean of 28.8 months, both implants yielded significantly different post-operative scores and similar complication rates. Both groups achieved similar post-operative AAE, ER, and IR; ALE was higher in TSA (p = 0.006); and AAE and ALE delta scores were higher in RTSA (p = 0.045 and p = 0.033, respectively). Radiolucent line rates were higher around the TSA APGC than the RTSA baseplate (p = 0.001). High-grade RC FI adversely affected mobility improvement. Humeral cortical thinning was significantly higher in TSA (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION RTSA patients were older, had poorer pre-operative active mobility, and had greater RC FI than TSA. Both devices provided good mid-term clinical and ROM improvement.

Abstract
Although reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) may outperform hemiarthroplasty (HSA) for acute proximal humerus fractures (PHF), both the RTSA implant and the procedure are more expensive. The goal of this study was to compare the use and longitudinal cost of care for RTSA vs HSA for the treatment of PHF. Patients were selected from a private payer database with a surgical date between 2010 and 2015. The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification(ICD-9-CM), codes were used to identify patients who underwent RTSA and HSA for PHF. The 1-year cost follow-up was guaranteed. During the study period, a total of 1038 patients underwent RTSA and 1046 patients underwent HSA for the treatment of PHF. A total of 601 patients who underwent RTSA and 431 patients who underwent HSA with at least 1 year of follow-up were matched by age and sex. The average Charlson Comorbidity Index for the RTSA and HSA groups was 4, indicating similar health status. From 2010 to 2015, the use of RTSA increased linearly (R2=0.986), whereas the use of HSA decreased linearly (R2=0.796). The average index admission cost was higher for RTSA than for HSA ($15,263 vs $14,356, respectively; mean difference [MD], $907; 95% confidence interval [CI], $58-$1760; P=.04). At 1 year postoperatively, however, no statistically significant difference was noted in cost (P=.535). The 1-year physical and occupational therapy cost per patient was higher after HSA than after RTSA (MD, $723; CI, $718-$728; P<.001), but no difference was noted in discharge disposition or 1-year revision or readmission rates. The results of this study suggest that despite the higher initial cost of RTSA, the total cost of care in the year after RTSA and HSA is similar. Therefore, RTSA should be considered in the appropriate clinical setting. [Orthopedics. 2020;43(2):119-125.].

Outcomes and revision rates of primary vs. secondary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a standard treatment for proximal humeral fractures (PHF) and its sequelae. In this study we analyzed the clinical outcomes of primary vs. secondary RSA for displaced PHF in elderly patients.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 68 cases of primary or secondary RSA for displaced PHF. For 51 patients (28 primary RSA, 23 secondary RSA), a minimum 12-month follow-up with clinical and radiological assessment was available. Clinical assessment comprised joint active range of motion, DASH, Constant–Murley Score (CMS), Subjective Shoulder Value, and Visual Analog Scale for pain. Outcomes and complications of patients with primary RSA were compared with those of patients with secondary RSA.
Results
Follow-up data were available for 45 women and six men with a mean age of 73 years (range, 59–87) at the time of implantation. In 28 cases, primary RSA was performed; in 23 cases, RSA was performed as a revision procedure for fracture sequelae after failed plating, nailing, or hemiarthroplasty. The mean age- and gender-related CMS was 82.2 ± 34.2% (raw mean CMS: 46.8 ± 19.6 points). Among nine of the 51 patients with follow-up data (17.6%), ten complications occurred with six surgical revisions. Primary RSA (n = 28) resulted in better clinical shoulder function compared with secondary RSA (n = 23). Significantly more complications and revision surgeries were observed following secondary than primary RSA (p = 0.013).
Conclusion
In this study, primary RSA for displaced PHF in the elderly was associated with better clinical function and lower complication and revision rates than secondary RSA. Predictive parameters for failure of humeral head-preserving fracture fixation and anatomic hemiarthroplasty should be carefully evaluated. Primary RSA should be considered when surgical treatment of PHF is indicated in elderly patients.
