Whether the Indications for Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Should Continue to Be Expanded? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: It is still unclear whether reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has advantages over traditional hemiarthroplasty (HA) and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) in the treatment of complex shoulder joint diseases.
