Persistent and Profound Peripheral Nerve Injuries Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Persistent and Profound Peripheral Nerve Injuries Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Peripheral nerve injuries associated with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) are rarely reported and are often dismissed as neuropraxias, particularly in the setting of perioperative nerve blocks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate nerve injuries following rTSA to determine if there is a pattern of injury and to evaluate outcomes of patients who sustain an intraoperative nerve injury.
