This study of surgical and implant factors in RTSA highlighted optimal configurations for restoration of native muscle-tendon lengths of the deltoid and rotator cuff, which has direct implications for surgical technique and implant selection. Additionally, it demonstrated the most influential surgical and implant factors with respect to muscle-tendon lengths, which can be used to aid intraoperative decision-making.
