Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has evolved beyond its initial indication for elderly patients with rotator cuff arthropathy and is now performed in younger patients for various shoulder pathologies. This surgical procedure has recently gained popularity and has been shown to result in similar functional improvements and complication rates compared to anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty. Scapular posture and sagittal spine alignment (SSPA) have recently emerged as factors potentially influencing RTSA outcomes. This scoping review aimed to assess the existing body of evidence on this topic
Methods: A systematic search was conducted on MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL databases to evaluate the impact of scapular posture and SSPA on RTSA outcomes
Results: A total of 6 studies (616 shoulders) were included in this review. Scapular posture was found to influence RTSA outcomes, with studies reporting correlations between scapular posture with postoperative range of motion and functional scores. Suboptimal scapular posture, particularly type C (kyphotic posture with protracted scapulae), appeared to be associated with reduced external rotation. However, findings among the included studies regarding SSPA were varied. Some studies suggested that SSPA, notably thoracic kyphosis, might impact RTSA outcomes by influencing scapular posture, while others did not find a clear relationship
Conclusion: Scapular posture was implicated as a potential factor affecting RTSA outcomes; however, the role of SSPA remains inconclusive. There is currently a lack of high-quality evidence in the literature to draw definitive conclusions regarding the impact of scapular posture and SSPA on RTSA outcomes. More research is warranted to investigate these relationships more comprehensively
