TOPIC: RANDOM MIX
While Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA) was initially developed strictly for massive rotator cuff arthropathy, its indications have greatly expanded. Which of the following acute proximal humerus fracture patterns in an osteoporotic 78-year-old patient is generally most optimally treated with an RTSA rather than a standard hemiarthroplasty?
A
A simple, non-displaced 2-part surgical neck fracture.
B
An isolated, slightly displaced lesser tuberosity fracture.
C
A severe 4-part fracture with a split, devascularized humeral head and comminuted, retracted tuberosities.
D
A 3-part greater tuberosity fracture in a highly active patient with pristine bone stock.
