Purpose Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has revolutionized the management of proximal humerus fractures (PHF) in the elderly patients. There is few or no consensus regarding to management of postoperative rehabilitation in elderly patients. An early rehabilitation from D1 allowed better functional results compared to rehabilitation started to D30 independently from tuberosities consolidation. Methods 94 patients operated on for PHF were evaluated retrospectively, with a minimum radio-clinical follow-up of 2 years. Clinical evaluation included mobilities and four functional scores: ASES, quick DASH, gross constant, weighted constant. Radiological evaluation was performed on a frontal shoulder X-ray with evaluation of tuberosities' consolidation. ResultsThe mean follow-up was 45 ± 19 months (24-88 months). Early rehabilitation was significantly associated with a
