Why the study?
Long-term clinical and radiographic outcome data after standard cemented long-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty remain underreported.
Does standard cemented long-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty improve clinical outcomes in patients over 60 years of age with cuff tear arthropathy or osteoarthritis?
Population
27 patients over 60 years of age with cuff tear arthropathy or osteoarthritis
Comparison
Standard cemented long-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty (Aequalis Reverse II)
Design
Retrospective cohort study
Follow-up
Mean 127.6 months (range 83−185)
Key result
Standard cemented long-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty significantly improved the mean-adjusted Constant Score from 30.0 to 95.0 points (p<0.001) at a mean follow-up of 10 years.

Bülhoff et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Cuff tear arthropathy or osteoarthritis (n=27). Standard cemented long-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) was evaluated on Mean-adjusted Constant Score (aCS) (p=<0.001). Standard cemented long-stem reverse shoulder arthroplasty significantly improved the mean-adjusted Constant Score from 30.0 to 95.0 points (p<0.001) at a mean follow-up of 10 years.
