Preoperative axillary nerve palsy is a contraindication to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) due to the theoretical risk of higher dislocation rates and poor functional outcomes. Treatment of fracture-dislocations of the proximal humerus with rTSA is particularly challenging, as these injuries commonly present with concomitant neurologic and soft tissue injury. The aim of the current study was to determine the efficacy of rTSA for this fracture pattern in geriatric patients presenting with occult or profound neurologic injury.
