RSA, TSA and PyC hemi-prostheses: comparing indications and clinical outcomes using a second-generation modular short-stem shoulder prosthesis

Introduction The goal of this study was to provide an insight into the clinical results after modular short-stem shoulder arthroplasty for various indications. Materials and methods A consecutive cohort study of 76 patients followed up for 23–55 (mean 31.4) months. 23 anatomical (TSA), 32 reverse (R...

Description
Summary:Introduction The goal of this study was to provide an insight into the clinical results after modular short-stem shoulder arthroplasty for various indications. Materials and methods A consecutive cohort study of 76 patients followed up for 23–55 (mean 31.4) months. 23 anatomical (TSA), 32 reverse (RSA) and 21 hemi-prostheses with a pyrocarbon head (PyC), using a modular short stem with proximal porous coating were implanted. Range of motion, pain and Constant score (CS) were recorded. Comparisons of pre- vs postoperative outcomes, between prosthesis types and indications, were made. Results All prosthesis types brought about a significant improvement ( p
