Pectoralis Minor Release Versus Non-release in RSA
Sponsor: Emory University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if concomitant open pectoralis minor release would improve pain and outcomes after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA). The main questions it aims to answer are: * whether releasing the pectoralis minor prophylactically could have better pain relief * whether releasing the pectoralis minor prophylactically could have increased Range of motion (ROM) outcomes * whether releasing the pectoralis minor prophylactically could have higher final Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs) Participants will be randomized to either undergo RSA with pectoralis minor release or RSA without pectoralis minor release.
Official title: A Randomized Control Trial to Evaluate Release Versus Non-release of Pectoralis Minor With Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

Pectoralis Minor Release
The pectoralis minor is a muscle on the anterior chest wall attaching to the coracoid process. In the group undergoing pectoralis minor release, through the same deltopectoral incision that will not be extended or different as compared to the RSA only group, the pec minor will be exposed on the medial aspect of the coracoid at the upper part of the incision. It will be cut from its insertion on the coracoid while being careful to protect any neurovascular structures.
