1 Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Optimizing Outcomes Kim Kraft, PT, DPT, CHT Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty How is it different than a normal shoulder replacement? What are the therapy precautions? What should patients and therapists expect as the course of treatment? How do you plan valuable therapy programs? Introduction 1

2 Shoulder Arthroplasty History Total Shoulder Arthroplasty First shoulder arthroplasty was documented in 1893 in Paris by the surgeon Paen Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Introduced by Grammont in 1987 Design exchanges the convex and concave surfaces Reduces loosening of the proximal scapular component, the glenosphere Comparison : TSA vs RTSA Traditional Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (Total, TSA) Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (Reverse, RSA or RTSA) Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Indications Glenohumeral osteoarthritis with massive rotator cuff tear Rheumatoid arthritis with massive rotator cuff tear Proximal humeral nonunion or malunion Massive chronic irreparable rotator cuff tear Acute complex fracture in elderly person Fixed glenohumeral dislocation in elderly person 2

NO Internal Rotation Behind the Back (IRBB) 2. NO Horizontal Adduction (HADD) 3. NO traction/weight bearing on the post operative arm 4. Lifting limitation of 5 # 13

14 Subscapularis Precautions If Repaired Gaunt & McCluskey 2012 Limit external rotation to 20⁰, 4 weeks No combined abduction and external rotation, 6 weeks No internal rotation (IR) resistance, 12 weeks Teres Minor May Be Intact Gaunt & McCluskey 2012 If present, active external rotation is present If absent, only passive external rotation is possible Beware: Teres minor can also be repaired by latissimus dorsi transfer PROTECT REPAIRED MUSCLES/TENDONS FROM TENSION FOR 6 WEEKS FROM RESISTANCE FOR 12 WEEKS. RTSA PRECAUTIONS 14

15 Elevation By The Deltoid Muscle flickr.com Elevation By The Deltoid Muscle Prosthetic shape and surgical procedure increase the effectiveness of the deltoid for elevation. Medialized joint axis Distalized deltoid insertion Elevation By The Deltoid Muscle Medialized joint axis Increases deltoid force by lengthening the deltoid s lever arm. Yellow arrow is a little longer than the orange arrow. 15

16 Elevation By The Deltoid Muscle Distalized deltoid insertion Stretches the deltoid by making the proximal humerus a little longer. Yellow arrow is a little longer than the orange arrow. Elevation By The Deltoid Muscle F1 x L1 < F2 x L2 RTSA PROVIDES A MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE TO THE DELTOID BECAUSE THERE IS NO ROTATOR CUFF. ELEVATION BY THE DELTOID 16

17 Rehabilitation Program 1-2 Weeks After RSA Conceptual Model Precautions with ADLs Pain control Bony and Soft Tissue Healing Sling and support Pendulums Table slides 1-2 Weeks After RSA Sling and support reduce pain! Patient Education Sling must fit properly with hand slightly above the elbow to reduce swelling; elbow seated in the corner of the sling to prevent wrist hanging on the edge of the sling. ncmedical.com 17

18 nationalbraceandsplint.com 1-2 Weeks After RSA Sling Patient and support Education reduce pain! Sitting: forearm rests on table or pillow to support weight of the arm and promote capillary flow through the healing tissue 1-2 Weeks After RSA Patient Sleeping Position Education is Key Reclined (vs supine) is more comfortable for the first 12 weeks: support behind upper arm (humerus) and under forearm Scrapetv.com 18

19 1-2 Weeks After RTSA Patient Mobility Education Training ~Must avoid pushing IRBB and HADD for stability~ NO pushing up from sitting from the arm of a chair NO pushing across the body or behind the back Hygeine!? 1-2 Weeks After RTSA Home Exercise Program Pendulum Instructions Approximately 2 minutes Pain relief Small diameter Relaxed Arm dangles like a necklace/ necktie OK if not perfectly passive (vs. RCR) Combine with dressing 1-2 Weeks After RTSA Table Slide Instructions Weight of arm is supported Can use the opposite hand to propel the arm Slide the affected arm forward to tension Hold 10 seconds Repeat 10 times 19

20 Rehab Program Gentle passive motion Motor relearning 4-12 Weeks After RTSA Wean out of sling Progressive AROM Rehab Program 4-12 Weeks After RTSA Wean out of sling Weaning Out of The Sling 20

21 Rehab Program Gentle passive motion 4-12 Weeks After RTSA 4-12 Weeks After RTSA Gentle Passive Range of Motion Therapist assisted Performed with the patient in supine to support the trunk, allows easy control of the scapula Support behind the humerus to prevent pre-loading the anterior shoulder tissue 4-12 Weeks After RTSA Gentle Passive Range of Motion Pearl Abduction with external rotation begins after 6 weeks to protect the inferior fibers of the subscapularis. Come to abduction from a flexed position, instead of from abduction. ~Reduces scapular shrugging allows manual control of glenohumeral rotation.~ 21

22 4-12 Weeks After RTSA Gentle Passive Range of Motion Pearl Video PROM : Clinical Observation Conclusions: PROM gained by 8-10 weeks postoperatively AROM is much slower, continues to improve for the next year or more TBA Rehab Program Motor relearning 4-12 Weeks After RTSA 22

23 4-12 Weeks After RTSA MOTOR RELEARNING Practice meaningful tasks to learn using deltoid elevation. Fun, light activity 2 sessions 30 minutes per day. Ideas: checkers, cards, dusting, watering with a hose, grooming ee_stock_image/checkersjpg 4-12 Weeks After RTSA Activity Journal Charts progress for outcomes and motivation Allows you to correlate pain and activity Handy for documantation /07/02/journal-vs-diary/ Rehab Program 4-12 Weeks After RTSA Progressive AROM 23

24 Shoulder AROM Exercises Thoughtful Use of Gravity The shoulder is a 3 rd class lever. Use supine, side lying, friction-free, reclined, & active assisted exercises to reduce the load on the deltoid. Shoulder AROM ~Elevation progression~ 1. Supine active assisted flexion 2. Supine with elbow flexed, progressing to elbow extended 3. Supine X s and O s 4. All the above with 1# can of vegetables 5. Prone TYI 6. Wall slide and wall slide/lift off (Wall slide liftoff combines high deltoid excursion and scapular depression, very challenging.) 4-12 Weeks After RTSA EXERCISES 4x / Day True flexion 10x 10 seconds Posterior tissue stretch Instructions 10x 10 seconds Elbows extended Close to ears Targeting posterior tissue Gravity assisted after 90 degrees Scapular depression 24

25 4-12 Weeks After RTSA EXERCISE 4x / Day Hammock stretch 5 minutes Supported elevation progression Instructions Short lever arm improves control Stretches anterior/inferior capsule and subscapularis Anterior to posterior motion causes scapular retraction instead of elevation (shrugging) 4-12 Weeks After RTSA EXERCISE 4x / Day Elevation progression Instructions 5 minutes Supine position prevents trunk compensation Play with lever arm: Elbow flexed punches Elbow extended to maximum flexion (becomes gravity assisted after 90⁰) Diagonals, circles to challenge control Add 1# canned vegetables/ water bottle for resistance 4-12 Weeks After RTSA EXERCISE 2x / Day TYI prone Instructions 10 repetitions each, 1-2 times per day Progress to 30 repetitions then add water bottle resistance Scapular stability High-excursion exercise for the deltoid 25
