Uncemented reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: is it a safe option for elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures?

Purpose: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a common surgical procedure for elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures. Cement fixation of the humeral stem is considered the gold standard for this procedure. Due to the high prevalence of osteoporosis in this patient population, the risk of intraoperative fractures is increased when uncemented stems are used.
