This study states that Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has acquired ubiquity in older patients due to its restricted dependence on rotator sleeve capacity and high survivorship rates. Notwithstanding, despite the fact that there are hypothetical benefits of RSA over anatomic complete shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in older patients, there is little information to manage specialists on embed determination in this populace.

Patients were recognized from our tentatively gathered shoulder arthroplasty vault. We included patients between the age of 50 and 89 years who went through essential TSA for osteoarthritis with unblemished rotator sleeve or essential RSA for sleeve tear arthropathy. We assessed age bunch contrasts in torment, Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES) score, patient fulfillment, difficulties, and amendments.

All gatherings showed huge upgrades from preoperative to last development for all result means (P < .001). Visual simple scale for torment normal score diminished from 5.8 preoperatively to 1.1, with no huge contrasts between gatherings (TSA P = .180; RSA P = .103). Last ASES scores and improvement from preoperative ASES score between the age bunches were not fundamentally unique.
