Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty With or Without Concomitant Latissimus and Teres Major Transfer for Shoulder Pseudoparalysis With Teres Minor Dysfunction
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder
In brief
The overall objective of this study is to compare the clinical benefit and safety of two different surgical techniques of primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of shoulder pseudoparalysis from chronic rotator cuff disease with associated teres minor dysfunction. The first surgical technique includes a concomitant latissimus and teres major transfer (transfer group) and the second technique does not include a concomitant latissimus and teres major transfer (control group).
