Abstract:
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is an effective surgical method for rotator cuff tear arthropathy, irreparable cuff tear, complex fracture of the proximal humerus, and revision after anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty. As the scope of application and the number of trials have increased recently, there have been reports of scapular notching, glenoid loosening, infection or peri-scapular fractures. On the other hand, there are no reports of concomitant fractures of the coracoid and acromion after RTSA. The authors experienced two cases with concomitant fractures of the coracoid and acromion after RTSA. This paper reports these cases with a literature review and discusses the causes.
