To review the expanding indications and unique procedural complications associated with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and evaluate current strategies for their management.
Synthesized literature on primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty across established indications, including rotator cuff arthropathy, massive tears, failed arthroplasty, and fracture sequelae.
Identified procedure-specific adverse events and evaluated published evidence regarding clinical management guidelines.
Identified primary procedural complications, including neurologic injury, periprosthetic fracture, hematoma, infection, scapular notching, dislocation, mechanical baseplate failure, and acromial fracture.
Identified a critical scarcity of published data and standardized best practices for successfully managing these specific adverse outcomes.
