Article Synopsis
- Patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) might achieve maximum medical improvement (MMI) within 6 months post-surgery, which is earlier than the previously suggested 12-month timeline.
- The study analyzed data from 182 patients, considering preoperative diagnosis and patient-reported outcomes like pain and shoulder function over 6 and 12 months.
- Results indicated significant improvements in pain and shoulder function for all patient groups by 6 months, suggesting that patients may not need as many follow-up visits after this period.
