Introduction: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a well-establish procedure with increasing incidence. Depending on the medical history, many patients undergo multiple soft-tissue procedures before RTSA. The role of acromioclavicular pathology as well as the consequences of a distal clavicle resection (DCR) before RTSA has not been evaluated yet. Material and methods: A retrospective single-center review was performed on all patients undergoing primary RTSA with or without DCR with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. We compared patient-reported outcome measures (Constant score (CS), subjective shoulder values (SSV), and range of motion (ROM)) with a matched control group. The control group consisted of patients treated with a RTSA without DCR and matching was performed for age, sex, operating side, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), body mass index (BMI), and indication. Surgical time and complication rate were recorded. Results: Thirty-nine patients with a mean follow-up of 63 months (SD 33) were enrolled in the study group. Mean age was 67 years (SD 7) with 44% male patients for both groups. The mean relative CS improved from 43% (SD 17) to 73% (SD 20) in the study group, and from 43% (18) to 73% (22) in the control group. The SSV improved from 29% (SD 17) to 63% (SD 29) in the study group, and from 28% (SD 16) to 69% (SD 26) in the control group (both n.s.). The postoperative ROM did not significantly differ between the two groups. Five patients in the study group and six in the control group had reoperations. Conclusion: Patients who received a DCR before RTSA showed equivalent clinical outcomes compared to a match-control group with RTSA only. Surgical time was not different, and no complication related to the open DCR was observed in the study group. Therefore, we conclude that a prior DCR does not influence the postoperative outcome after RTSA. Level of evidence: Level III: Retrospective comparative study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
