Mid-term clinical and functional outcomes after reverse shoulder arthroplasty with latissimus dorsi transfer

Although reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) with concomitant latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT) has been shown to effectively treat external rotation (ER) deficits, there are limited data regarding its outcomes with modern implants and its impact on activities of daily living (ADLs) requiring E...

Description
Summary:Although reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) with concomitant latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT) has been shown to effectively treat external rotation (ER) deficits, there are limited data regarding its outcomes with modern implants and its impact on activities of daily living (ADLs) requiring ER. The purpose of this study was to assess the mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of rTSA with concomitant isolated LDT in patients with an ER lag sign and posterior rotator cuff deficiency.
