Introduction
Proximal humeral fractures (PHF) are one of the most challenging injuries to treat and recover from. Humeral fracture stems have become popular among individuals undergoing arthroplasty because of their superior ability to reduce and repair tuberosities. This study aims to determine better clinical, functional, and radiology outcomes and cost-effectiveness surgical management of PHF and Comparison of these outcomes among the surgical option.
Method
This systematic review includes the literature from the multi-database electronic search, i.e., Medline, PubMed, Embase, and web of science based on PRISMA guideline 2009. The data from the eligible literature meeting the study criteria were extracted and analysed.
Results
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) provides better patients satisfaction and more improved functional outcomes when compared with shoulder hemiarthroplasty. Taking into consideration of healthcare perspective and payer perspective, RTSA was most cost-effective when compared to a hemiarthroplasty. Our work delivers significant baseline statistics about characteristics related to cost and outcomes of surgical approach for the management of PHF. RTSA can be considered as beneficial management of fracture Of PHF following the encouraging outcome of RTSA.
Conclusions
This systematic review provides favourable short to long-term functional outcomes of RTSA.
