Abstract

Purpose of Review

The incidence of shoulder arthroplasty is increasing dramatically for primary arthroplasty but also for revision arthroplasty. Revision to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is increasingly the salvage operation for failed primary arthroplasty. The purpose of this review is to explore the indications for and results of revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Recent Findings

Despite relatively high complication and reoperation rates with revision shoulder replacement, revision of failed hemiarthroplasty or total shoulder arthroplasty to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty improves outcomes for many patients. A failed hemiarthroplasty or total shoulder arthroplasty is frequently disabling for the patient and because the surgical revision options are often limited only to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, the potential improvement is often worth the higher surgical complication or reoperation rate.

Summary

Due to the challenges inherent in revision arthroplasty, revision of primary arthroplasty to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, outcomes are poorer than primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Despite these limitations, patient postoperative pain and function do increase from preoperative levels making conversion of hemiarthroplasty or anatomic total shoulder to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty an important option for a challenging problem.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2018;19(1):245. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-018-2150-3The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of primary shoulder arthroplasty in Finland. Methods: We analyzed nationwide data from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register (FAR) and the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register (NHDR) during time period 2004–2015. The primary outcome variable was the incidence of shoulder arthroplasty per 100,000 person-years stratified by age, sex, and year of surgery. The secondary outcome variables were surgical indication, arthroplasty type, and prosthesis model. Results: The number of primary shoulder arthroplasties was 7504 (women = 4878, men = 2625). The rate of operations increased from 6 to 15 per 100,000 person-years among men, and 11 to 26 per 100,000 person-years among women. The indication for arthroplasty was osteoarthritis in 56%, acute fracture in 21%, inflammatory arthritis in 13%, and rotator cuff arthropathy in 4% of the cases. Hemiarthroplasties accounted for 66%, total shoulder arthroplasties 8%, and reverse shoulder arthroplasties 12% of the cases; 14% of the cases was missing. During the 12-year study period, the incidence of hemiarthroplasties decreased by 23% and the number of total shoulder and reverse shoulder arthroplasty increased by 500 and 4500%, respectively. Conclusions: The incidence of primary shoulder arthroplasty has increased by 160% during the study period in Finland. The incidence of hemiarthroplasties decreased while total and reverse shoulder arthroplasties increased. CrossRefPubMedPubMedCentral • Harjula JNE, Paloneva J, Haapakoski J, Kukkonen J, Äärimaa V.

The impact of the reverse prosthesis on revision shoulder arthroplasty: analysis of a high-volume shoulder practice. J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2019;28(2):e49–56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jse.2018.08.002Background: Since the approval of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in 2004, the use of shoulder arthroplasty increased dramatically. Although the success of RSA in the revision setting has been demonstrated, there remains a paucity of studies examining the epidemiology of RSA in revision arthroplasty. This study describes trends of revision arthroplasty during the “era of the reverse,” from 2005 through 2016. Methods: In a multicenter retrospective analysis, we analyzed 274 revision shoulder arthroplasties converted to a RSA (n= 182), anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA,n= 68), or hemiarthroplasty (n= 24) from 2005 to 2016. Demographics, surgical indications, and types of prosthesis were analyzed. Results: The number of revision arthroplasties increased over 12 years. From 2005 to 2010, TSA (33%) or hemiarthroplasty (16%) was used in similar rates as RSA (51%). From 2011 to 2016, there was a much higher incidence of revision arthroplasty with RSA (78%) compared with TSA (19%) or hemiarthroplasty (3%). Specifically, the number of RSAs increased in 2011 to 2016 compared with 2005 to 2010 in patients aged younger than 60 years, obese patients, patients with indications of glenoid loosening, and those with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus or rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusions: The use of RSA for revision arthroplasty increased over the “era of the reverse” and became the majority by 2016. The reverse prosthesis has had expanding indications regarding both patient demographics and pathology. This study demonstrates the reverse prosthesis has had a similar and even more profound effect on revision shoulder arthroplasty than what has previously been well documented in the primary setting.

Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2019;28(6):1074–81. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jse.2018.10.026Background: The impending burden of revision shoulder arthroplasty has increased interest in outcomes of revision procedures. Revision of failed anatomic arthroplasty to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has shown promise alongside concerning complication rates. Methods: Patients who underwent revision shoulder arthroplasty during a 7-year period at a tertiary care health system were identified. Presurgical and operative data were analyzed for 110 patients who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were contacted at a mean follow-up of 57 ± 26 months (range, 23–113 months) from revision surgery for functional outcomes scores, reoperations, and implant survival. Results: Implant survival was 92% at 2 years and 74% at 5 years. Mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation score, and visual analog scale pain scores were 63 ± 24 (range, 5–97), 60 ± 25 (range, 0–100), and 2.9 ± 2.9 (range, 0–10), respectively. Seventy percent of patients were “very satisfied” or “satisfied with their outcome.” Complications occurred in 18 patients (20%), and 10 patients (11%) underwent reoperation. Conclusions: Modest patient results and satisfaction can be achieved with revision of a failed anatomic arthroplasty to a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. As is typical of revision surgery, complications are common and can compromise results. Further study is needed to identify factors that may contribute to successful outcomes.

Methods: Patients converted from aTSA to RTSA for rotator cuff failure or component loosening and a primary RTSA matched cohort were retrospectively identified from a prospective database. Demographics and preoperative and postoperative outcomes were obtained and compared. Results: Age, sex, body mass index, follow-up length, and preoperative function were similar between revision (n= 35) and primary (n= 70) groups. At final follow-up, visual analog scale pain (2.4 ± 2.8 vs 1.7 ± 2.8;P= 0.24) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (68 ± 26 vs 76 ± 24;P= 0.14) scores were similar.

Our purpose was to report the results of a large cohort of patients treated with a reverse shoulder allograft-prosthetic composite (APC). Methods: Between 2002 and 2012, a total of 73 patients were treated with a reverse shoulder APC and had adequate follow-up. Clinical outcome scores, range of motion, and radiographic evidence of failure were assessed. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years, with an average of 67.9 months (range, 21–157 months). Of the patients, 43 had more than 5 years’ follow-up and 12 had more than 10 years’ follow-up. Results: The total American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score improved from 33.8 to 51.4 (P< .0001), and the Simple Shoulder Test score improved from 1.3 to 3.5 (P< .0001). Good to excellent results were reported in 42 of 60 patients (70%), 10 patients (17%) reported satisfactory results, and 8 patients (13%) were unsatisfied. Range of motion improved in forward flexion (49 to 75°,P< .001) and abduction (45 to 72°,P< .001). Revision was required in 14 patients (19%) for periprosthetic fracture (n= 6), instability (n= 2), glenosphere dissociation (n= 2), humeral loosening (n= 2), and infection (n= 2) at a mean of 38 months postoperatively. The reoperation-free survival rate of all reconstructions was 88% (30 of 34) at 5 years, 78% (21 of 27) at 10 years, and 67% (8 of 12) beyond 10 years. Ten patients had radiographic evidence of humeral loosening at final follow-up, and 2 required revision.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is often the only remaining form of treatment in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome after conversions from a failed HA to rTSA. Material and Methods: A total of 35 patients, in whom a HA, as treatment for a fracture of the proximal humerus, had failed, underwent conversion to a rTSA. A total of 28 were available for follow-up at a mean of 61 months (37 to 91), having been initially reviewed at a mean of 20 months (12 to 36) postoperatively. Having a convertible design, the humeral stem could be preserved in nine patients. The stem was removed in the other 19 patients and a conventional rTSA was implanted. At final follow-up, patients were assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the Constant Score, and plain radiographs. Results: At final follow-up, the mean ASES was 59 (25 to 97) and the mean adjusted Constant Score was 63% (23 to 109%). Both improved significantly (P< 0.001). The mean forward flexion was 104° (50 to 155°) and mean abduction was 98° (60 to 140°). Nine patients (32%) had a complication; two had an infection and instability, respectively; three had a scapular fracture; and one patient each had delayed wound healing and symptomatic loosening. If implants could be converted to a rTSA without removal of the stem, the operating time was shorter (82 min vs 102 min;P= 0.018). Conclusion: After failure of a HA in the treatment of a proximal humeral fracture, conversion to a rTSA may achieve pain relief and improved shoulder function. The complication rate is considerable.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of revisions with a completely convertible system and to report clinical and radiographic results of a retrospective review of 13 cases. Between 2003 and 2011, 104 primary total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) were performed with an uncemented glenoid component in our group. Of these patients, 13 (average age, 64 years) were revised to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) using a modular convertible platform system and were included in this study. Average follow-up after revision was 22 months. Outcome measures included pain, range of motion, Constant-Murley scores, Simple Shoulder Tests, and subjective shoulder values. Active flexion increased significantly from a mean of 93° (range, 30–120°) to 138° (range, 95–170°) (P= 0.021), and active external rotation increased significantly from 8° (range, − 20–15°) to 25° (range, − 10–60°). Mean pain scores significantly improved from 4.2 to 13.3 points. The mean Constant Scores improved from 21 (range, 18–32) to 63 (range, 43–90). Subjectively, 12 patients rated their shoulder as better or much better than preoperatively. This retrospective study shows that a complete convertible system facilitates conversion of TSAs to RSAs with excellent pain relief and a significant improvement in shoulder function. • Valenti P, Katz D, Kany J, Werthel JD.

Revision of failed hemiarthroplasty for painful glenoid arthrosis to anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2018;27(10):1884–90. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jse.2018.03.018Background: The impending burden of revision shoulder arthroplasty has increased interest in outcomes of revision procedures. Painful glenoid arthrosis following hemiarthroplasty is a common cause of reoperation, and conversion to anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is one option. Methods: We identified patients who underwent revision of painful hemiarthroplasty to total shoulder arthroplasty over a 15-year period in a single tertiary-care health system. Presurgical and operative data were analyzed for 28 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were contacted at a minimum of 2 years’ follow-up after revision surgery for functional outcome scores, reoperations, and implant survival. Results: The 2- and 5-year implant survival rates were 93% and 86%, respectively. Functional outcomes were obtained from 21 patients with surviving implants. The mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, visual analog scale score for pain, and Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation score were 78 ± 20, 2.3 ± 2.6, and 71 ± 24, respectively. The mean Short Form 12 mental and physical scores were 49 ± 10 and 43 ± 9, respectively. Of the patients, 17 (81%) were either satisfied or very satisfied with their outcome. Complications were seen in 10 patients (36%), and 6 patients (21%) required reoperation. Conclusions: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty following hemiarthroplasty can achieve successful outcomes and implant survival rates. Given our poor understanding of reverse shoulder arthroplasty longevity, this procedure should remain an option for patients with glenoid arthrosis and an intact rotator cuff.
