perform all required ADLs painlessly. TSA patients were found to not be using their maximal available abduction ROM to perform ADLs at three years postsurgery. This may not be related to range of motion limitations in active abduction but may be caused by impaired proprioception. Proprioception in another study was shown to deteriorate following TSA. This may be because of the deltopectoral approach that includes division of the subscapularis muscle and the glenohumeral ligament that may cause alterations in movement patterns. Conclusion Shoulder arthroplasty is the treatment of choice for severe degenerative joint disease. Total shoulder replacement has been shown to provide excellent clinical outcomes with good durability. These results have been shown to be superior to hemiarthroplasty. TSA can improve functional range of motion with good long-term pain relief. Surgeons with higher volumes of performing shoulder replacements have better patient outcomes with fewer complications. When TSA is performed under the appropriate clinical indications, complete pain relief References Bohsali, K. I., Wirth, M. A., & Rockwood Jr., C. A. (2006).

Another explanation of impaired use of available ROM is that patients with osteoarthritis may have developed impaired movement patterns in ADLs before surgery that could not be reversed because the patients were not sufficiently trained to use the new ROM. The conclusion of this study was that TSA does improve ROM in performing ADLs in patients with degenerative glenohumeral osteoarthritis. TSA patients did not use their maximal available abduction ROM when performing ADLs, which may not be related to limitations in active ROM but may be caused by pathologic motion patterns, impaired proprioception, or both factors. and normal or near-normal restoration of function is often the result. Patients who have a primary rTSA have shown a significant increase in active shoulder elevation postsurgery. Patients typically regain in excess of 105 degrees of active shoulder elevation. The results are superior to those of hemiarthroplasty for rotator cuff arthropathy. Active shoulder rotation in those with cuff deficiency has not been reported to improve following rTSA. Patients with teres minor deficiency have markedly limited active external rotation following rTSA.
