Overview

Retrospective study reveals high return to sport rates and satisfaction in active Australians after rTSA, suggesting positive outcomes for post-surgery recovery.

Key Points

This study investigates the rate and timing of return to sport following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in an active cohort.
Retrospective single-surgeon study of active patients who underwent rTSA from Jan 2020 to Jan 2024.
Post-operative outcomes assessed at 12 months, including return to sport, pain, and satisfaction.
Multivariable regression models analyzed predictors of outcomes.
78.3% of patients returned to sport (119/152; 95% CI: 70.7%-84.4%) with a median return time of 4 months.
Patients reported high satisfaction with function (85/100) and low pain levels (11/100).
No significant demographic or surgical predictors for return to sport were identified.
