Background

Scapular notching causes glenoid bone loss after a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). The goal of this study was to assess the influence of prosthesis design on notching.

Methods

Prospective, single surgeon cohort. Two different rTSA designs were consecutively implanted and compared: 25 Delta III rTSAs and 57 Delta Xtend rTSAs in 80 patients. Notching (Nerot 0–4) was assessed at 24 months follow-up. Patient dependent variables, surgical technique and implant geometry were assessed. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to select the strongest independent predictors of notching.
