Résumé
The influence of the subscapularis tendon on reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has been discussed controversially. The aim of the study was to investigate the subscapularis-sparing approach for RTSA and the effect of the intact subscapularis tendon. This retrospective comparative study included 93 patients. Among these, 55 underwent the deltopectoral subscapularis-sparing approach, and in 38 cases, the standard deltopectoral approach with subscapularis tenotomy was applied. At the final follow-up, representative shoulder scores were measured, radiographs were taken in two planes, and shoulder sonography was performed. The subscapularis-sparing group showed a significantly higher Constant score (71.8 vs. 65.9 points) and adapted Constant score if the subscapularis tendon was shown to be intact in the postoperative sonography (85.2% vs. 78.6%) (p = 0.005; p = 0.041). Furthermore, these patients had improved abduction (128.2 vs. 116.8, p = 0.009) and external rotation (34.6 vs. 27.1, p = 0.047). However, no significant differences were found for the degree of internal rotation and internal rotation strength. No dislocation or infection was observed. The degree of scapular notching was not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.082). However, independently from the integrity of the subscapularis the subscapularis-sparing approach showed no difference in clinical and radiographic outcome (Constant score scapularis-sparing 70.0 points vs. tenotomy 66.8 points; p = 0.27). The subscapularis-sparing approach RTSA showed improved clinical outcome, abduction, and external rotation, if the subscapularis was shown to be intact at time of follow-up. Both groups showed no difference in internal rotation.
