5-Min Summary: A Look at the Outliers: Optimal Placement for Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study was to identify pre- and post-operative radiographic measurements in patients who achieved excellent range of motion to optimize implant positioning in patients undergoing rTSA. We hypothesized that restoring the lateral humeral offset to closely align with the patient’s pre-operative anatomy, along with achieving optimal lateralization and distalization shoulder angles as outlined in the literature, would correlate with excellent clinical outcomes.
