Clinical Outcome Comparison Between Medial and Lateral Offset Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
Completed
Conditions studied: Rotator Cuff Tear, Proximal Humerus Fractures, Malunions, Chronic Proximal Humerus Dislocations
In brief
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate two FDA approved implant designs for the Tornier Reverse Shoulder arthroplasty. The small difference in design is the amount of offset each implant has. This offset may improve clinical outcomes in the patient population. There have been no clinical comparative studies between these two designs in the literature to date. We would like to follow these patients for two years after implantation of the reverse shoulder and evaluate their radiographs, pain scores, and shoulder functional scores. this would be the first randomized prospective single blinded study of its kind.
