Abstract
Since the 1970s, numerous designs of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have been proposed, and in 1994, Grammont came up with the third variation of his Delta Reverse, which facilitated pain relief and recovery of overhead motion in the cuff-deficient arthritic shoulder. These satisfactory results have led to an expansion in the indications including to younger more active patients and also to patients with an intact rotator cuff. However, over time, surgeons have identified adverse effects related to the design of the implant. Thus, the field has seen a push for advances in the design of the different components of the RSA as well as in the positioning of these implants. The objective of this review paper is to a) provide a comprehensive overview of the developments in the design of the components of RSA and to b) identify the best combination of components for RSA in 2022.
