Purpose: Reverse shoulder prosthesis is a method used after massive rotator cuff tears. It is a surgical method used to improve shoulder functions and to cope with pain. Long-term results of physiotherapy programs applied after surgery are insufficient. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term results of reverse shoulder prosthesis applied to both shoulders.
Methods: A 66-year-old female patient with a rotator cuff tear on both shoulders was included in the study. After surgery, 40 sessions of physiotherapy were applied to the left shoulder and 45 sessions of physiotherapy to the right shoulder, and the right shoulder was followed for 6 years and the left shoulder for 8 years. VAS for pain, goniometer for active range of motion, and constant shoulder score questionnaire for functionality were used in the evaluations.
Results: Significant differences were found in the preoperative and postoperative evaluation in terms of pain, activities of daily living and active range of motion of the patient. While the preoperative Constant scores were 32 for the left shoulder and 34 for the right shoulder, the postoperative Constant scores were calculated as 84 for both shoulders.
