The Paradigm
PATHOLOGY IMPAIRMENT PROCEDURE PROBLEM TREATMENT GOALS
rTSA compared to SCR
Influence on Choice & Progression
Cuff Deficient Shoulder Pseudo Paralysis Pain ⇣ Function
Managing Expectations Appropriate For Each Patient Our Responsibility…
Implications for Rehabilitation
Young ⇡Age
PATHOLOGY Massive RCT IMPAIRMENT Function vs Pain GOALS
Type of implant/component Humeral bone quality, Deltoid status Integrity of remaining RC, Concomitant RC repair Overall component stability.
Intra operative findings- rTSA
Scapular notching Component Failure/
disassociation
Dislocation Infection Acromial Stress fracture
Common complications RTSA
3 Key Rehab Concepts:
- 1. Joint protection
- 2. Deltoid function
- a. Remainder of RTC
- 3. Est appropriate
functional goals
- a. ROM
Key Concepts- rTSA
Priorities
ROM- 90º FE; 20º-ER Submax Iso’s Scapular Ex
AROM & ant deltoid Strength No body wgt Limit cycles of ROM
Adv strength Limit cycles protect stability & Limit stress
Hold vs. cycles….
rTSA
rTSA higher risk for
dislocation vs. conventional TSA (Boudreau et al., 2007)
Dislocation typically occurs
in IR, adduction and extension (reaching behind back)
Early expectations
3-4 weeks….

PATHOLOGY Massive RCT IMPAIRMENT Function vs Pain GOALS
SCR Implications for Rehab
Allograft Best tissue @ day 1 post-op “soft tissue rTSA
” (Thay Lee, PhD)
Augmented massive RCR Rotational stress Tenodesis effect of subscapularis & infraspinatus Long axis stress Gravity ”distraction” (Mihata et al AJSM ’16)
Intra-operative Findings- Expectations
Restoration of PROM
Amt Subscap/ Infra Remaining Tissue Mobilization Position
AROM- Amount of native tissue
SCR Treatment Pathway
Massive RCR Pathway Failure of Massive RCR- 98% in 1st 6 months Repairs of tears > 4cm fail < 12 wks (Miller et al AJSM ‘11)
☐ Increased risk of “re-tear/non healing” with
early AROM
☐< 3cm early 1.63x ☐> 3m early 2.5x ☐> 5cm 6x
Priorities
Education & Protection 5 weeks- distal UE ROM only ER then FE- ROM Protect healing tissue Care Mobility ADL’s Joint Protection Functional Box
Protected ROM
Rehabilitation plan to match the surgery and the patient
- Graft type
- Other cuff status
- Patient goals/context
Demands
Loading
- Position
- Reps
Goals
- Work
- Sport
- All suggested exercises < 40%
rotator cuff EMG 25-50% 40-60% >50%
Controlled Loading for Function
Great < 90 then Fight Gravity
Restore Force Couple
Patient Outcome Expectation
n=9 n=8
AROM Return After SCR
The real story on AROM return
n= 22 n=12
Return to Function
➔No heavy lifting 4-6 months ➔Sport progressions
- Golf > 20 weeks
- Tennis >26 weeks
- Swimming >26 weeks
