Variability in ultimate humeral height of an inlay humeral stem does not impact outcomes following reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Clinical outcomes following reverse shoulder arthroplasty with a 135° neck shaft angle designed inlay humeral implant are favorable, with either inlay or onlay implantation. Clinical outcomes were excellent, with minimal differences based on final humeral positioning. The inlay stem offers the advantage to be placed as either inlay or onlay, based on the surgeon's preference or the patient's needs. Patients' characteristics and surgeon preference should be considered when deciding which configuration to use.
