ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Shoulder arthroplasty following obstetrical brachial plexus injury (OBPI) is technically challenging because glenoid morphology, muscle balance, and humeral version are substantially altered compared with the neurologically intact shoulder. The purpose of this study is to report the outcome of shoulder arthroplasty in a group of patients with end-stage arthritis secondary to OBPI. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Seven patients with OBPI and secondary glenohumeral arthritis were treated with shoulder arthroplasty between 1976 and 2014. Two underwent hemiarthroplasty (HA), 2 underwent total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and 3 underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). One HA was lost to follow-up and was excluded. The remaining 6 patients (mean age, 62.5 years old at the time of surgery) were followed for a minimum of 2 years (mean, 7.5 years; range, 2-13 years) Outcome measures included pain, range of motion, and postoperative modified Neer ratings.RESULTS:
Pain improved in all shoulders. Mean forward flexion was unchanged. No shoulders treated with HA/TSA regained forward elevation above 90°, compared with 1 out of the 3 RSAs. External rotation improved from a mean of -10° to 20°. Active internal rotation decreased from L1 to L5. Immediate postoperative radiographs showed either severe posterior or posterosuperior subluxation in all 3 patients treated with nonconstrained implants.CONCLUSIONS:
Shoulder arthroplasty is an acceptable option to relieve pain in patients with symptomatic shoulder arthritis as a sequel of OBPI. However, range of motion improvements are not expected. TYPE OF STUDY /LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic V.Palabras clave
