Researchers prospectively collected data for 230 patients with an intact rotator cuff who underwent TSA. Investigators followed patients for one year, with an average follow-up of 28 months.
Here are four points:
1. Results showed preoperative range-of-motion was predictive of postoperative ROM for forward flexion, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation.
2. Investigators noted postoperative ROM was not associated with patients’ perceptions of preoperative motion.
3. Postoperative ROM was negatively associated with both BMI and diabetes.
4. The total number of comorbidities or individual comorbidities didn’t predict postoperative ROM.
