Resultados de la artroplastia inversa de hombro con vástago corto no cementado en la artropatía por insuficiencia de manguito rotador.

Introduction: The reverse shoulder prosthesis has become the treatment of choice in glenohumeral arthropathy due to rotator cuff tear. The aim of the study was to assess the medium-term clinical and mechanical results of the short-stem reverse shoulder prosthesis. Material and methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out with a minimum follow-up of 2 years and a mean age of 72.5 years. The patients were reviewed postoperatively in a protocolized manner at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months of follow-up and assessed with the Constant and DASH tests. Results: All patients improved regarding pain, 86.7% had no pain and the remaining 13.3% had mild pain. Postoperatively, both external and internal rotation improved globally in all patients. Conclusion: The uncemented short-stem reverse shoulder prosthesis presents satisfactory results regarding function, mobility and pain reduction.
