BACKGROUND: Our aim was to determine the radiologic and functional outcomes of @entity1 who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for @entity6342 and to assess whether the uncemented humeral components put them at risk for early loosening and failure. METHODS: Thirty-three @entity1 were identified in our hospital database (January 2004-December 2012). Twenty @entity1 were assessed using American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant Shoulder Score (CSS), and the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS). Up-to-date shoulder radiographs were evaluated for evidence of radiologic loosening. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 3.0  years (range, 2.5-7.8  years), and the mean age at the time of surgery was 76.5  years (range, 62-87  years). The mean ASES was 75.9 of 100 (range, 55-98.3), with a mean visual analog scale @entity158 score of 2 of 10. The mean OSS was 42.5 of 48 (range, 35-48), and the mean CSS was 54.1 of 100 (range, 32-72). Upon radiographic assessment of the humeral component, 6 @entity1 (30%) had 3 or more lucent zones, and 12 @entity1 (60%) had a lucent zone measuring more than 2  mm in width; however, only 2 @entity1 (10%) had 3 or more lucent zones measuring 2  mm or more in width and were identified as "at risk of loosening." No @entity1 had tilt or subsidence of the humeral prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated satisfactory functional and radiologic outcomes of @entity1 compared with other studies, suggesting that RSA is a good management option for elderly @entity1 with these @entity174 . The uncemented nature of the humeral component did not result in early @entity177 .

Functional and radiologic outcomes of uncemented reverse shoulder arthroplasty in XXXX : cementing the humeral component is not necessary.
