Controversy exists regarding the optimal treatment for patients with a pseudoparalytic shoulder with a rotator cuff tear with options including rotator cuff repair and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Recent literature suggests that pseudoparalysis can reliably be corrected with a rotator cuff repair and is more cost effective than reverse shoulder arthroplasty. We believe that the arbitrary cutoff of 90\u00b0 is too generous and leads to confusion. We believe that the definition of pseudoparalysis needs to be refined to clarify indications for treatment and not base a decision on a simple measurement without other factors considered. We suggest that pseudoparalysis as a description should include elevation limited to up to 45\u00b0. The patient should also be described as having a chronic and essentially atraumatic onset of symptoms and the rotator cuff tear is massive with at least grade II to III fatty infiltration. Only with increasing precision and describing the actual patient situation and limitations will we be more able to correctly compare treatment alternatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,12]],"date-time":"2017-10-12T17:41:40Z","timestamp":1507830100000},"page":"2281-2283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Should We Have a Better Definition of Pseudoparalysis in Patients With Rotator Cuff Tears?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Robert T.","family":"Burks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics University of Utah School of Medicine Salt Lake City Utah U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert Z.","family":"Tashjian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics University of Utah School of Medicine Salt Lake City Utah U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546515597486"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2016.08.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.I.00912"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2012.11.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.D.02342"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_7_2","first-page":"15","volume-title":"The clinical measurement of joint motion","author":"Greene W.B.","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2014.12.036"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2016.10.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2013.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2014.02.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2016.09.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2012.10.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.012"}],"container-title":["Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S074980631730765X?httpAccept=text\/xml","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S074980631730765X?httpAccept=text\/plain","content-type":"text\/plain","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,15]],"date-time":"2026-03-15T09:29:16Z","timestamp":1773566956000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,9]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0749-8063","1526-3231"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0749-8063","type":"print"},{"value":"1526-3231","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,9]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Elsevier","name":"publisher","label":"This article is maintained by"},{"value":"Should We Have a Better Definition of Pseudoparalysis in Patients With Rotator Cuff Tears?","name":"articletitle","label":"Article Title"},{"value":"Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery","name":"journaltitle","label":"Journal Title"},{"value":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2017.07.024","name":"articlelink","label":"CrossRef DOI link to publisher maintained version"},{"value":"article","name":"content_type","label":"Content Type"},{"value":"\u00a9 2017 Published by Elsevier on behalf of the Arthroscopy Association of North America","name":"copyright","label":"Copyright"}]}}
