Normalized preoperative muscle volume correlates with shoulder strength at minimum 2 years after lateralized reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
Preoperative measures of normalized deltoid and rotator cuff volume on planning computed tomography scans were strongly correlated with postoperative shoulder ABD strength, moderately correlated with ER strength, and weakly correlated with the Constant score. These findings are important to counsel patients preoperatively. They may also be useful in the comparison of different rTSA designs in future clinical studies.
