Authors' objectives: 1. Does surgical implantation with shoulder prosthesis improve function and quality of life in patients with severe primary glenohumoral osteoarthritis in comparison with non-surgical interventions? 2. Does total shoulder arthroplasty improve function and quality of life in patients with severe primary glenohumoral osteoarthritis in comparison with hemiarthroplasty?
Authors' recommendations: The reported beneficial effects of shoulder replacement in comparison to the patientsf preoperative status with regard to pain, mobility and activity of daily life are large. However, this has only been analysed in uncontrolled patient series. There is no study that has compared prosthethic arthroplasty with a parallel control group receiving non-surgical intervention. There are no documented differences in the effects between the two different types of shoulder arthroplasty TSA and HA (low or very low levels of evidence).
