Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty in Patients 60 Years Old and Younger: Short-term Clinical and Radiographic Results

The purpose of this study is to assess the early outcomes following Reverse Shoulder
Arthroplasty (RSA) in patients sixty years or younger for the purpose of characterizing these
patients, evaluating their clinical outcomes and radiographic appearance.The investigators
would like to know how quickly they are healing and returning to their baseline activities of
daily living and ability to work. This will help when counseling patients prior to surgery as
it will give us a better defined and study supported understanding of the post-operative
recovery timeline in the younger population.

This study is looking at patients who are sixty years or younger at the time of they undergo
a reverse total shoulder replacement. This is an important population to look at their
functional and clinical outcomes as they are often still employed and have more physical
demands upon their shoulder in everyday life than the older replacement population for which
there are more outcome data available. The investigators would like to determine how the
younger population is healing and returning to their baseline activities of daily living and
ability to work. This will help when counseling patients prior to surgery as it will give us
a study supported understanding of the post-operative recovery timeline in the younger
population. The investigators will review x-rays to evaluate healing at two years. Functional
surveys are given pre and post operatively (1 & 2 years) and these will be reviewed as well.
A physical exam is also performed to determine range of motion pre and post operatively (1 &
2 years).
