Background: Lateralization of the glenosphere in reverse shoulder arthroplasty likely mitigates scapular notching; however, there is a paucity of data evaluating the effect of heterotopic ossification (HO) at the inferior aspect of the glenoid neck.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 107 consecutive reverse shoulder arthroplasty patients between April 2013 and April 2016. During the study period, the surgeon switched from a 2.5-mm lateral center of rotation and a 155° neck-shaft angle (NSA) to a 6- or 10-mm lateralized design with a 135° NSA. Preoperative and minimum 2-year postoperative patient-reported outcomes and range of motion were collected. Two-year postoperative radiographs were evaluated for scapular notching and HO.
Results: The lateralized center of rotation implant was 72% less likely to develop HO and 85% less likely to produce scapular notching than the medialized prosthesis.
Conclusion: Implants with laterally offset glenospheres and 135° NSA may decrease postoperative HO and scapular notching.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of cemented versus cementless reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs), with a focus on revision rates, tuberosity union, scapular notching, range of motion, and functional scores.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, incorporating data from studies comparing cemented and cementless rTSA for PHFs. Key outcomes analyzed included revision rates, tuberosity union rates, scapular notching, range of motion, and functional scores.

Introduction: The use of lateralized glenoid components in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is increasing to avoid scapular notching and improve strength and impingement-free range of motion. However, maximizing glenoid lateralization increases stress at the bone-baseplate interface. The ideal type and length of central fixation remains a subject of debate.

: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between the type of scapular notch (SN), the morphometry of the SN, and the area of the suprascapular nerve (SSN). In addition to determining whether scapular notches other than Type VI, according to the classification of Rengachary, can generate a predisposition to SSN entrapment neuropathy. : One hundred and sixty-nine dry scapulae were examined, the scapular notches were classified, according to the classification of Rengachary, and for each SN, the superior transverse diameter (STD), longitudinal diameter (LD), and area of the SN were determined.

[BACKGROUND]: Biomechanical differences between reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) designs, specifically those with larger neck-shaft angles like the Grammont-type prosthesis and those with smaller neck-shaft angles such as lateralized humerus RSAs, have been analyzed in ex vivo studies. However, there is limited data on the differences in in vivo shoulder kinematics between these designs. The purpose of this study was to analyze in vivo kinematics of lateralized humerus RSA during active scaption and external rotation at the side, and to compare them to previously reported data for Grammont-type RSA.

: Classical reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a high neck-shaft angle (NSA) of 155° has shown satisfactory outcomes. However, newer RSA designs aim to improve results by modifying the stem design. This study evaluates the 5-year outcomes of a stem design featuring a rectangular metadiaphyseal fixation and a 135° NSA.
