INTRODUCTION: Indications for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has expanded to encompass complex proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in recent years. The purpose of this study was to report and assess whether PHF patients treated with rTSA could achieve similar functional outcomes and short-term survivorship to patients who underwent rTSA for rotator cuff arthropathy (RTCA). METHODS: All consecutive patients with a preoperative diagnosis of PHF or RTCA, 18 years or older, treated with rTSA at a single academic institution between 2018 and 2020 with a minimum 2-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Primary outcomes were survivorship defined as revision surgery or implant failure analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, and functional outcomes, which included Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand, and range of motion (ROM) were compared at multiple follow-up time points up to 2 years. Secondary outcomes were patient demographics, comorbidities, surgical data, length of hospital stay, and discharge disposition. RESULTS: A total of 48 patients were included: 21 patients (44%) were diagnosed with PHF and 27 patients (56%) had RTCA. The Kaplan-Meier survival rate estimates at 3 years were 90.5% in the PHF group and 85.2% in the RTCA group. No differences in revision surgery rates between the two groups (P = 0.68) or survivorship (P = 0.63) were found. ROM was significantly lower at subsequent follow-up time points in multiple planes (P < 0.05). A ...
