Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has ushered a new era in shoulder surgery. However, the results of RSA also described the complication rates associated with the procedure as inordinate and a learning curve associated with the incidence of complications.
The records of 112 patients who underwent 114 RSA procedures by the senior author (G.I.G.) were reviewed for complications related to a RSA. Of these, 93 RSA procedures were the primary treatment for the shoulder, and 21 were revisions.
The total complication rate for the entire group was 7%. Complications included 3 periprosthetic fractures, 3 hematomas, 1 acromion fracture, and 1 deep infection. The complication rate was 19% in the revision RSA group and 4.3% in the primary RSA group (P ≤ .02). Complication rates in the initial RSA patients in this series did not differ from the final procedures in this series (P = .96). The total reoperation rate was 5.3%, and was 19% in the revision RSA group vs 2.2% in the primary RSA group (P ≤ .02).
Complications and reoperations associated with a RSA, although significant, occurred at much lower rate than in previous reports. This series demonstrates a significant difference in complication rates and reoperation rates between primary and revision RSA. Revision RSA complications and reoperations were far more common than in primary RSA procedures. No evidence of a learning curve related to surgical experience was demonstrated in this series.
反式肩关节置换术(RSA)开创了肩关节手术的新纪元。然而,RSA 的结果也描述了与该手术相关的并发症发生率过高,并且与并发症发生率相关的学习曲线。
对高级作者(G.I.G.)进行的 112 例 114 例 RSA 手术的患者记录进行了回顾,以评估与 RSA 相关的并发症。其中,93 例 RSA 手术是肩部的主要治疗方法,21 例是翻修手术。
整个组的总并发症发生率为 7%。并发症包括 3 例假体周围骨折、3 例血肿、1 例肩峰骨折和 1 例深部感染。翻修 RSA 组的并发症发生率为 19%,初次 RSA 组为 4.3%(P ≤.02)。本系列中初次 RSA 患者的并发症发生率与本系列中的最后一次手术无差异(P =.96)。总再次手术率为 5.3%,翻修 RSA 组为 19%,初次 RSA 组为 2.2%(P ≤.02)。
尽管 RSA 相关的并发症和再次手术发生率很高,但明显低于以往的报告。本系列表明,初次和翻修 RSA 之间的并发症发生率和再次手术率存在显著差异。翻修 RSA 的并发症和再次手术比初次 RSA 手术更为常见。本系列未发现与手术经验相关的学习曲线的证据。
