Key result
Revision of a shoulder hemiarthroplasty resulted in no significant difference in shoulder scores or implant survival compared to revision of a total shoulder arthroplasty.
Why the study?
Does revision of a shoulder hemiarthroplasty lead to improved outcomes compared to revision of a TSA?
Meta-Analysis (n=593)
Does revision of a shoulder hemiarthroplasty lead to improved outcomes compared to revision of a TSA?
The belief that revision of a shoulder hemiarthroplasty leads to improved outcomes compared to revision of a TSA is not supported by current literature.

Revision shoulder arthroplasty yields variable functional gains with >70% 10-year survival irrespective of primary implant; challenges rationale for preferring hemiarthroplasty in younger patients.
Davies et al. (2022) conducted a meta-analysis in Revision anatomical shoulder replacements (n=593). Revision of shoulder hemiarthroplasty vs. Revision of anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) was evaluated on Shoulder scores and implant survival. Revision of a shoulder hemiarthroplasty resulted in no significant difference in shoulder scores or implant survival compared to revision of a total shoulder arthroplasty.
