Preoperative external rotation deficit does not predict poor outcomes or lack of improvement after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
The purpose was to compare postoperative outcomes and functional improvement between patients with preoperative aER deficits vs. preserved aER function. There were 115 patients in the <0° aER group and 314 in the ≥30° aER group. Preoperative patients in the <0° group were worse for all measures exce...

| Sumario: | The purpose was to compare postoperative outcomes and functional improvement between patients with preoperative aER deficits vs. preserved aER function. There were 115 patients in the <0° aER group and 314 in the ≥30° aER group. Preoperative patients in the <0° group were worse for all measures except subjective pain while post-operatively, they had significantly greater improvement for all measures of motion. Postoperatively, both groups achieved comparable scores for forward elevation, pain, SST and ASES. This study demonstrates that patients with a complete aER deficit can recover substantial and comparable function after RTSA. |
