Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for acute proximal humeral fracture has comparable 10-year outcomes to elective indications: results from the New Zealand Joint Registry.

RTSA for PHF demonstrated reliable long-term survivorship and functional outcomes compared with elective indications. Despite lower functional outcomes in the early postoperative period for the PHF group, implant survivorship was similar in patients undergoing RTSA for the primary indication of acute PHF compared with RCA, OA, and RA and superior compared to the primary indication of traumatic sequelae.
