Re-intervention and revision rates following primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty - review of a local shoulder arthroplasty registry.

The revision rate after primary RSA for our patient registry is low. A relevant number of additional interventions were noted that did not require any component revision but may impair the final outcome post-RSA. By only reporting revision rates, the number of post-RSA re-interventions is clearly underestimated. We recommend the documentation of all events leading to any re-intervention in arthroplasty registries.
