Summary

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has become an established treatment for cuff arthropathy, severe osteoarthritis and in certain fracture cases. Due to the increasingly aging population, patients who have already exceeded their life-expectancy pose a significant challenge to the shoulder surgeon. Therefore, we wanted to investigate patient demographics, hospital stay length, complication rate functional outcome, patient reported outcome scores and mortality retrospectively for patients, who were older than 83 years at time of implantation of a RTSA.

Detailed description

This is a retrospective single institution study. All patients older than 83 years who received a reverse shoulder arthroplasty from 2008 until 2019 are included. Elective cases are compared to fracture cases (patient demographics, length of hospital stay, complication rate, functional outcome, patient reported outcome scores and mortality).
