Brief description/objective

Reversed total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a standard surgical procedure for the treatment of rotator cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), aimed at restoring active arm elevation. Shoulder elevation relies on both scapulothroacic (ST) and glenohumeral (GH) motion, but RTSA computer planning primarily focuses on the GH joint due to challenges in visualizing scapulothroacic (ST) motion.
