Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) designs vary in the lateralization and distalization geometry, which may affect functional outcomes. The purpose was to determine the effect of RSA lateralization and distalization on final functional outcomes by using the "lateralization shoulder angle" (LSA) and the "distalization shoulder angle" (DSA).
The LSA and the DSA are reproducible measurements that may be used to estimate "lateralization and distalization" after RSA. These measurements are correlated with postoperative clinical outcomes.
