Despite a notable difference in the number of baseline comorbidities, there were no notable differences in functional outcomes, survivorship, and revision surgery rates between each cohort. Although both groups had a similar function initially, by 3 months postoperatively, the y65 group had markedly greater range of motion in IR and ER. Longer term survivorship is needed; however, rTSA may offer a reliable option for shoulder reconstruction even in the y65 patient group.
