| Popis: | Introduction This study reviews the outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and introduces a novel method of measuring changes in the center-of-rotation (COR) of the shoulder joint post-operatively. Methods We performed 10 reverse shoulders in 2011. Patients were evaluated pre-operatively and post-operatively using the Constant Score. The COR of the shoulder was determined pre- and post-operatively on radiographs and the differences were analysed. Results There was significant improvement in Constant Scores post-operatively with reduction in pain and increase in strength. Medialisation but not distalisation of the COR was achieved. Discussion Longer follow-up studies and studies on survivalship are required. |
