Description
Résumé:© 2020 The Author(s).
BACKGROUND: This study compared the clinical results for nonporous stems vs. trabecular metal (TM) stems used in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for comminuted proximal humeral fractures (CPHFs) in elderly patients
METHODS: In this retrospective study, a total of 41 shoulders (39 women) of patients with CPHF aged >70 years who underwent RSA were investigated. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years. A total of 15 shoulders were treated with Grammont-style RSA using nonporous stems (the G-RSA group), and 26 shoulders were treated with RSA combining TM stems (the FR-RSA group). The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score, Constant score, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), and radiographic findings were compared between the 2 groups
RESULTS: ASES scores and Constant scores were significantly higher in the FR-RSA group than in the G-RSA group. External rotation at the side in the FR-RSA group was significantly higher than that in the G-RSA group. In the FR-RSA and G-RSA groups, the union rates at the greater tuberosity (GT) were 88.5% and 46.7%, respectively, and scapular notching rates were 20% and 7.7%, respectively. Based on a subanalysis, the age was lower, body mass index was higher, and ASES scores, Constant scores, and external rotation ROM were higher in the GT union group than in the GT nonunion group
CONCLUSION: GT bone union rates were high, and external rotation ROM of the shoulder joint were more improved for RSA using TM stems than those for RSA using nonporous stems in elderly patients with CPHF
