Article Synopsis
- This multicenter study compared clinical outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty using three types of glenospheres (36-mm CoCrMo, 36-mm eccentric CoCrMo, and 44-mm X-UHMWPE) across 133 patients from 2003 to 2008.
- Results showed significant improvements in the Constant score and pain levels, with group C (44-mm X-UHMWPE) exhibiting superior range of motion and lower rates of scapular notching compared to the others.
- Overall, all groups had good outcomes, but groups C and A outperformed others in recovery and complications, indicating the need for further long-term research on survivorship.
