Abstract

Deltoid disruption has traditionally been an absolute contraindication to performing a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), and options available to patients have been limited. We present a series of patients with deltoid tears that underwent concomitant RTSA with deltoid reconstruction. We hypothesize that this combined procedure provides an acceptable, functional alternative for this complex patient population. We retrospectively identified all patients who were treated by a single surgeon with a concomitant RTSA and deltoid reconstruction from 2004 to 2012 with minimum 24-month follow-up. Six shoulders in 5 patients met these criteria. The mean age was 69 years (range, 61-79 years), and the mean follow-up period was 76.8 months (range, 24-133 months). We compared preoperative and postoperative range of motion and Penn Shoulder Scores, including subscores, using paired t tests. Mean forward elevation and external rotation increased from 48° and 12°, respectively, to 120° and 22°, respectively. Penn scores increased from 45.2 to 77.8 postoperatively (P = .03). The Penn satisfaction subscore, in particular, improved from 1.1 (of 10) to 9.0 (P = .005). There was a low rate of recurrent deltoid failure (1 of 6 shoulders), ...Continue Reading
