This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Outcomes of anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in patients over the age of 70: a systematic review

“…Subgroup analysis of ATSA studies including only patients over 80 years showed that forward elevation improved from 87° to 141° and external rotation improved from 15° to 43°. 15 , 18 , 38 , 44 Similarly, forward elevation improved from 68° to 129° and external rotation improved from 18° to 37° in patients over 80 years who underwent RTSA for nonfracture indications. 4 , 11 , 14 , 44 …”

“… 2 , 28 , 32 , 36 , 39 , 44 , 46 Six studies compared the outcomes of an older cohort to a younger cohort. 4 , 18 , 27 , 32 , 36 , 38 Seven studies analyzed the outcomes of patients over the age of 80 years. 4 , 11 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 38 , 44 The MINORS score for noncomparative studies was 9.2, which indicates a low quality of evidence.…”

The MINORS score for comparative studies was 16.7, which indicates a moderate level of evidence.…”

“…In studies reporting internal rotation relative to vertebral level, internal rotation improved a mean of 5 vertebral levels. 2 , 15 , 28 , 38 …”

Evaluating the effects of age on the long-term functional outcomes following anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty

“…In addition, although clinical outcomes in different age groups have been compared in several studies, the mean follow-up time is relatively short at 3 years [ 9 , 20 , 23 ]. This limitation is important because long-term implant and revision-free survival are crucial factors for younger patient populations.…”
