Early clinical and radiological outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty with an eccentric all-polyethylene glenosphere to treat failed hemiarthroplasty and the sequelae of proximal humeral fractures

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) with an all-polyethylene glenosphere in patients with failed hemiarthroplasty (HH) or the sequelae of proximal humeral fractures. Methods Thirty-six patients were assessed at a mean follow-up...
