Popis: Background: Fishing is a popular recreational activity that stresses the shoulder. With the expanding prevalence of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), it is important to better understand return to fishing. Methods: A retrospective chart review from the electronic medical record was performed on patients undergoing primary rTSA by the designated surgeon with a minimum 6 month follow up. Demographic and surgical variables included age, sex, side of surgery and need for revision.Return to fishing metrics included casting distance and reason to not return to sport. Satisfaction and pain scores were also recorded. Results: Nineteen patients self-identified as participating in fishing before undergoing rTSA. Fifteen patients (79 %) were male and mean age was 68.47 years ( ± 9.95 years). 15 participants (79 %) indicated that they were able to return to fishing after their rTSA with a mean age of 67.07 years ( ± 10.64 years). Of those who returned to sport, 14 participants (93 %) indicated that their pain was better than it was before rTSA. Average VAS pain score of the return to sport group was 1.67 ( ± 2.79, range 0–7). Postoperative casting distance was the same in 10 patients (67 %). The most common reason for not returning to fishing was issues with pain and function. Conclusion: rTSA could allow for return to fishing with similar functional status. Switching casting technique and grip may help improve return to sport. Implant considerations may improve stability and ROM which may help further augment return to fishing.
