Summary:Background We evaluated the pre-operative factors affecting anatomical and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA and RTSA) indications in primary osteoarthritis and compared outcomes in patients aged 70 years and older. Methods Fifty-eight patients received a TSA with an all-polyethylene glenoid component (APGC) or an RTSA with/without glenoid lateralization and the same curved short-stem humeral component. Active anterior and lateral elevation (AAE, ALE), internal and external rotation (IR, ER), pain, and the Constant–Murley score (CS) were recorded pre and post-operatively. Pre-operative rotator cuff (RC) fatty infiltration (FI) and modified Walch glenoid morphology were assessed. Humeral and glenoid component radiological outcomes were recorded. Results RTSA were older than TSA patients ( p  = 0.006), had lower pre-operative AAE ( p
