Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has become an increasingly popular treatment option for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in the elderly. There is however contradictory evidence on the impact of timing of RSA on patient outcomes. It remains unclear if poor results after initial non-surgical or surgical management can be improved with delayed RSA. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the outcomes of acute RSA and delayed RSA for the treatment of PHFs in the elderly.
