【 摘 要 】

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) was initially designed to address rotator cuff tear arthropathy in elderly patients.1,2 Over time, indications of RSA were expanded to other conditions with various degrees of cuff deficiency, such as irreparable rotator cuff tears without osteoarthritis,3 inflammatory arthritis,4 fracture sequelae,5 tumour resection,6 failed hemiarthroplasty after fracture,7 failed hemiarthroplasty with cuff deficiency,8 failure after total shoulder arthroplasty9 and deep infection.10 Other indications now include the treatment of complex fractures of the proximal humerus in the elderly,11 as well as osteoarthritis with posterior subluxation and a biconcave glenoid.12 Since RSA is commonly used to salvage complex conditions, not surprisingly the reported complication rate is relatively high.
