“…1 ). Postoperative rotator cuff tears in TSA are not only related with decreased range of motion, but also instability or subluxation, which eventually lead to early glenoid loosening [ 1 , 12 , 13 , 24 ].…”

“…Conversely, they are not significant in RSA. Puzzitiello et al [ 12 ] concluded that rotator cuff muscle quality as assessed by MA and FI does not impact clinical outcomes following RSA with a lateralized glenosphere in patients with GHOA and an intact rotator cuff. Therefore, if progressed MA and FI is combined with GHOA, RSA could be a reasonable decision even with an intact rotator cuff [ 2 , 10 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…In addition, MA and FI are important [ 10 ]. However, in RSA, the tendons of supraspinatus and infraspinatus can be removed, and MA and FI are not critical to clinical outcomes [ 12 ]. Moreover, superior rotator cuff removal could improve surgical field exposure and allows soft tissue release [ 12 , 31 ].…”

“…Postoperative rotator cuff tear can cause instability, which can progress to glenoid loosening and failure. Preoperative rotator cuff tear, rotator cuff muscle atrophy (MA), and fatty infiltration (FI) are correlated with poor clinical results [1,9,[11][12][13]. In terms of bony architecture, uncorrectable glenoid deformities (e.g., glenoid retroversion, posterior erosion, and humeral head subluxation) are negative factors related with poor clinical results after TSA.…”

Anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has been used widely in treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and provides excellent pain relief and functional results. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) was created to treat the complex problem of rotator cuff tear arthropathy. RSA also has been performed for glenohumeral osteoarthritis even in cases where the rotator cuff is preserved and has shown good results comparable with TSA. The indications for RSA are expanding to include tumors of the proximal humerus, revision of hemiarthroplasty to RSA, and revision of failed TSA to RSA. The purposes of this article were to describe comprehensively the conditions under which RSA should be considered in glenohumeral osteoarthritis, to explain its theoretical background, and to review the literature.
