Clinical outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty in obstetric brachial plexus palsy with suprascapular nerve injury and glenohumeral osteoarthritis
Background
Untreated obstetric brachial plexus palsies (OBPP) present with various upper limb impairments, including muscle weakness, soft tissue contractures, and osteoarticular deformities. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) medializes the center of rotation, optimizing deltoid function to compensate for deficits caused by OBPP. This study evaluates the effectiveness of RSA in patients with untreated OBPP involving the suprascapular nerve and end-stage glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA), focusing on functional and quality-of-life improvements.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with OBPP involving the suprascapular nerve and end-stage glenohumeral OA who underwent RSA. Included patients had significant deficits in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles but preserved deltoid function. Pre- and postoperative assessments included Range of Motion (ROM), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). Data on complications and revision surgeries were also collected.
Results
Seven patients (2 males, 5 females; mean age 38.9 ± 14.9 years) with a median follow-up of 3.1 ± 2.2 years were included. Postoperatively, significant improvements were observed in limb function and quality of life, as reflected in the Constant Shoulder Score (CSS), Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH). Pain levels decreased markedly, and ROM showed a moderate increase. No complications or revision surgeries were reported.
Conclusions
RSA is an effective and safe surgical option for patients with untreated OBPP involving the suprascapular nerve and end-stage glenohumeral OA, yielding significant functional and quality-of-life improvements at short- and mid-term follow-up. The absence of complications and revision surgeries further supports its reliability in this challenging patient population.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
