Clinical Trial: Conjoint Tendon Resection During Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Shoulder Injuries
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: The Impact of Conjoint Tendon Resection on Functional Internal Rotation of the Shoulder Following Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief Summary:
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) can reliably restore active forward elevation, abduction, and external rotation, which are often lost in patients with massive rotator cuff tears.However, functional internal rotation (i.e., functional movements of the hand behind the body) is often unsatisfactorily restored and/or lost after RTSA.This study aims to compare the standard surgical approach for RTSA to RTSA with conjoint tendon resection with the targeted metric being postoperative functional internal…
