Key Words Reverse shoulder arthroplasty; Total shoulder arthroplasty; Glenohumeral osteoarthritis; Intact rotator cuff; Meta-analysis
Core Tip This systematic review and meta-analysis compares reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and an intact rotator cuff. Analyzing 1608 patients across 12 studies, we found RTSA was associated with lower reoperation rates and similar complication profiles compared to TSA. While TSA demonstrated better external rotation, RTSA showed favourable patient-reported outcomes, though most did not exceed clinical relevance thresholds. These findings support RTSA as a viable alternative in select patients, challenging traditional treatment paradigms and guiding individualized surgical decision-making.
