Abstract
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is offered to young patients with a failed previous arthroplasty or a cuff-de?cient shoulder, but the overall results are still uncertain. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to report the midterm outcomes and complications of RSA in patients younger than 65 years. Eight articles were included, with a total of 417 patients. The mean age at surgery was 56 years (range, 21-65 years). RSA was used as a primary arthroplasty in 79% of cases and revision of a failed arthroplasty in 21%. In primary cases, the indications were cuff tear arthropathy and/or massive irrep- arable cuff tear in 72% of cases. The overall complication rate was 17% (range, 7%-38%), with the most common complications being instability (5%) and infection (4%). The reintervention rate was 10% at 4 years, with implant revision in 7% of cases. RSA provides reliable clinical improvements in patients younger than 65 years with a cuff- de?cient shoulder or failed arthroplasty. The complication and revision rates are comparable to those in older patients.
