Background: The long-term outcomes of rotator cuff repair (RCR) have not been well studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term functional and structural outcomes after RCR in younger patients.
Methods: A total of 49 patients (34 [69%] male) with a mean age of 51 ± 6 years were evaluated preoperatively, and at short- and long-term follow-ups (minimum 15 years).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the outcomes of two shoulder surgery options, anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and ream and run (RnR), in younger patients with advanced shoulder arthritis.
- After analyzing 110 aTSA and 57 RnR patients, the results indicated that while aTSA patients had better shoulder function scores shortly after surgery, over a longer follow-up, the differences in outcomes between the two groups diminished.
- There were revision surgeries due to complications in both groups, with three RnR patients needing a revision due to pain and two aTSA patients experiencing glenoid loosening after many years.
Introduction: Long-term outcomes of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) can be compromised by glenoid loosening and failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short- and midterm outcomes of humeral head replacement with glenoid reaming arthroplasty (Ream and Run) for the treatment of advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis, and to identify associations between preoperative factors and outcomes.
Methods: Forty-nine shoulders (mean age 60 ± 7 years) with minimum 2-year follow-up (mean 4.
