Effectiveness of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for primary and secondary fracture care: mid-term outcomes in a single-centre experience

Table 6 – Clinical outcomes of healed versus unhealed tubercles

SCORES and ROM	HEALED	UNHEALED
VAS	0.7 (SD: 1.3)	1.6 (SD: 2.5)	0.162
CS	62 (SD: 14.1)	52 (SD: 19.5)	0.029
nCS	75 (SD: 17.3)	64 (SD: 22.7)	0.021
QD	19 (SD: 13.4)	34 (SD: 25.4)	0.002
SSV	79% (SD: 14.4)	68% (SD: 21.0)	0.017
Flexion	129° (SD: 36.4)	114° (SD: 39.6)	0.125
Abduction	118° (SD: 37.7)	107° (SD: 35.3)	0.245
ER	20° (SD:19.1)	8° (SD: 15.8)	0.019
IR	4 (SD: 2.2)	3 (SD: 2.6)	0.355

Significant positive values were observed for healed tubercles. Flexion, abduction, and ER are displayed in degrees, and IR is reported in points according to a sub-item of the Constant Score [32]. The SSV is displayed in percentages, all other scores are reported in points. Significant results are marked in bold. The average values are presented
(CS Constant Score, ER external rotation, IR internal rotation, nCS normative Constant Score, QD QuickDASH, ROM range of motion, SD standard deviation, SSV Subjective Shoulder Value, VAS Visual Analog Scale)
