Objective To summarize the effectiveness of two-stage reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for treating postoperative deep infection after internal fixation of the proximal humeral fracture.Methods Between June 2014 and January 2018, 17 patients with deep infection and humeral head necrosis or bone nonunion after internal fixation of proximal humeral fractures were treated. There were 8 males and 9 females, aged from 52 to 78 years (mean, 63.8 years). The infection occurred at 19-66 months after the initial internal fixation (mean, 34.8 months). Microbial culture of joint fluid was positive in 14 cases and negative in 3 cases. The preoperative Constant score, American shoulder and elbow surgeons (ASES) score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were 36.41±8.65, 31.06±7.43, and 7.29±0.99, respectively. The preoperative ranges of forward flexion, abduction, external rotation were (45.88±12.46), (42.18±12.31), and (16.76±4.92)°, respectively. The preoperative range of internal rotation was buttock in 9 cases, lumbosacral joint in 3 cases, L₃ in 5 cases. At the first-stage surgery, the thorough debridement was done and the antibiotic-impregnated bone cement spacer was placed after the removal of internal fixation. After the infections disappeared, the two-stage reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was performed. The mean interval between the two procedures was 4.2 months (range, 3.0-6.5 months).Results All the incisions healed primarily and no complications such as recurrent infection or vascular nerve injury occurred. All patients were followed up 15-32 months (mean, 22.0 months). At last follow-up, the ranges of forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation were (109.00±23.66), (98.53±16.92), (41.41±6.82)°, respectively; and the range of internal rotation was lumbosacral joint in 5 cases, L₃ in 8 cases, T₁₂ in 4 cases. The range of motion of shoulder joints at last follow-up was significant improved when compared with the preoperative range of motion (P<0.05). The Constant score (64.88±8.70), ASES score (65.18±8.10), and VAS score (2.94±1.25) were significantly superior to the preoperative scores (P<0.05). X-ray films showed that no prosthesis loosening occurred.Conclusion Two-stage reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is an effective treatment for the postoperative deep infection after internal fixation of the proximal humeral fracture, which has advantages of low risk of infection recurrence, good shoulder function, and satisfactory short-term effectiveness.
