Humeral Component Version Has No Effect on Outcomes Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

OE Journal. 2025;13(4):3 J Bone Joint Surg Am . 2024 Jul 3;106(13):1181-1188.Study Summary
Sixty-six patients undergoing primary rTSA for rotator cuff tear arthropathy, a massive rotator cuff tear, or primary osteoarthritis with a rotator cuff tear were randomized to receive either the humeral component in neutral version (n=33) or in 30° of retroversion (n=33). The primary outcome of interest was humeral external and internal rotation at 2 years postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included shoulder active range of motion, muscle strength, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global 10 (PROMIS-10) scores. Outcomes were assessed up to 2 years postoperatively. Overall, the results revealed no significant differences between groups in active shoulder motion, muscle strength, pain, or patient-reported outcomes. These findings suggest that humeral component version does not impact clinical outcomes following rTSA.
