Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has proven to be an effective surgical procedure for irreparable rotator cuff tears, comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus, and revision surgeries. We know from literature that functional results are good in short term, but not whether these remain stable long term or, on contrary, show deterioration functionality.
