Outcomes of reverse <i>vs</i> anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty in glenohumeral osteoarthritis without rotator cuff deficiency: A meta-analysis
In patients with GHOA and an intact rotator cuff, RTSA may offer comparable or improved outcomes to TSA with lower reoperation rates and similar complication profiles. Functional outcomes favour RTSA in certain patient-reported outcome measures, while TSA retains an advantage in external rotation. Surgical decision-making should remain individualized based on patient characteristics and functional demands.
