Conjoint Tendon Resection During Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Conditions: Shoulder Injuries, Patient Satisfaction, Internal Rotation Contracture-shoulder

Sex: All

Healthy volunteers: 1

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 64

Sponsor: University of Missouri-Columbia

Summary

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) can reliably restore active forward elevation, abduction, and external rotation, which are often lost in patients with massive rotator cuff tears. However, functional internal rotation (i.e., functional movements of the hand behind the body) is often unsatisfactorily restored and/or lost after RTSA. This study aims to compare the standard surgical approach for RTSA to RTSA with conjoint tendon resection with the targeted metric being postoperative functional internal rotation.
