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…
