Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty in rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review.

aTSA in the rheumatoid patient results in improvements in range of motion and patient-reported outcomes. Rates of complications and survivorship are generally good in this population. However, it should be noted that there is significant heterogeneity in outcome reporting amongst the literature on this topic and that many studies fail to adequately report complication and revision rates. When compared to rTSA in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, evidence suggests that aTSA is still a viable treatment option despite the shift in utilization to rTSA.
