Outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty vs. other surgical fixation methods for proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients
rTSA offers superior functional outcomes and complication rates compared to HA and a more favorable revision profile than ORIF in elderly patients with PHFs. These findings support the growing preference for rTSA as the primary surgical treatment in this population, though further high-quality, long-term studies are needed to guide individualized decision-making.
