Medium term results of reverse total shoulder replacement in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy.
The Delta III total shoulder replacement is a reversed, semi-constrained prosthesis and is recommended for the management of rotator cuff arthropathy. ⋯ Delta III prosthesis restores the function in shoulder affected by severe pain and dysfunction due to rotator cuff arthropathy. Inferior scapular notching in the post-operative radiographs was better visualised in abduction views compared with standard anteroposterior radiographs. Long-term follow-up is required to predict the effect of scapular notching.
