Lateralization in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) decreases bony impingement and improves rotational range of motion, but has been theorized to increase the risk of subacromial notching (SaN). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of SaN following RSA and its relationship with lateralization with a 135° inlay humeral component. The secondary purpose was to assess the association of SaN with functional outcomes.
