The use of a large diameter glenosphere in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients undergoing tuberosity removal.

Background And Aim: Prosthetic replacement with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is commonly indicated for complex proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in elderly patients. Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of RSA performed for comminuted PHFs, without periprosthetic reconstruction of the tuberosities. Our hypothesis was that a large diameter glenosphere could ensure satisfactory RSA mobility and stability, regardless of tuberosity removal.
