Abstract
Limited clinical evidence is available to help to predict poor outcomes after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) among patients with massive rotator cuff tears without glenohumeral arthritis. A retrospective case-control study was performed for patients who underwent RSA for massive rotator cuff tear without glenohumeral arthritis (Hamada score ≤3) and had a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Preoperative risk factors for poor outcomes were subsequently analyzed. Sixty patients (mean age, 71.4±7.4 years) met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 18 (30%) patients had poor outcomes (case group). The case group had significantly worse postoperative Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) (61.6±29.5 vs 84.9±14.1, respectively;
P
=.002), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (58.9±22.5 vs 82.2±14.2, respectively;
P
<.001), and Simple Shoulder Test (5.4±3.6 vs 8.5±2.4, respectively;
P
=.002) scores compared with the control group. Patients with poor outcomes had significantly higher preoperative SANE scores compared with control subjects (40.4±28.4 vs 18.8±15.7, respectively;
P
=.021). The results of this study suggest that patients with better overall preoperative function, as represented by higher SANE scores, have a greater likelihood of poor functional outcomes after RSA for massive rotator cuff tears without glenohumeral arthritis. For these patients, alternative treatment options should be considered. [
