The Effect of BMI on Internal Rotation and Function Following Anatomic and Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

The exact relationship between BMI and IR before and after total shoulder arthroplasty has not been studied to date. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of BMI on the preoperative and postoperative shoulder range of motion and function in anatomic (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), and specifically how internal rotation (IR) affects patient ability to perform IR-related activities of daily living (ADLs).
