Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Acute Proximal Humerus Fractures: Is Delay Associated With an Increased Rate of Reoperation?

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To compare reoperation rates of acute versus delayed reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) following a period of nonoperative treatment for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs). We also aimed to identify an optimal time interval from PHF to RTSA before the risk of reoperation significantly increased. METHODS: .
