Popis: Background Proper soft tissue balance is paramount to maintaining stability and a functional arc of motion in shoulder arthroplasty but is impaired in patients with prior glenohumeral (GH) dislocations. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes, revisions, and complications of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in patients with a history of glenohumeral dislocation. Methods Twenty-four patients with a history of GH dislocations that developed arthropathy underwent primary RSA from 2007 to 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Mean follow-up was 3.3 years (2–7 years). Mean age was 70 years. Eight patients (33%) and 7 patients (29%) had complete or partial subscapularis deficiency, respectively. Results Twenty-two patients (92%) had little to no pain at final follow-up. Mean shoulder elevation improved from 48° to 120° ( P
