Research summary
Reverse shoulder replacement is a newer type of shoulder replacement which is being used more and more to treat a variety of shoulder problems, including arthritis, tears of muscles in the shoulder and for fractures of the shoulder. The first type of reverse shoulder replacements were designed in such a way that the centre of rotation of the shoulder was moved to the centre of the body. This was called a medialised design. The problems of a medialised design include possible reduction in the range of movement of the shoulder. More modern designs have a centre of rotation which is a short distance further away from the centre of the body, which are called lateralised designs. We currently have no clinical evidence that lateralised designs are superior to medialised in terms of range of movement. In this study we are trying to compare the range of motion of a group of medialised reverse shoulder replacements to lateralised reverse shoulder replacements. The results will be of scientific interest in themselves but also guide the creation of a followup randomised controlled trial.
