In the 3D models, HARA was adjusted to 10\u00b0, 20\u00b0, and 30\u00b0, and LSA and DSA were measured at each position and compared using one-way ANOVA. For each patient, consecutive radiographs were obtained on postoperative day 1 and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. HARA and SHARA was measured on each radiograph. Then, pairs of consecutive radiographs were grouped according to their difference in HARA: &lt;10\u00b0, 10\u00b0-20\u00b0, and &gt;20\u00b0. Independent-samples t-tests were used for pairwise comparisons. Intra-rater reliability and inter-rater reliability were evaluated using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Pearson&#8217;s and Spearman&#8217;s coefficients were applied to investigate possible correlations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results:&nbsp;<\/strong>In total, 45 preoperative 3D models and 135 postoperative radiographs were analysed. In the 3D model analysis, mean DSA decreased from 48\u00b0 at 10\u00b0 of HARA to 44\u00b0 at 20\u00b0, and 39\u00b0 at 30\u00b0 (p&lt;0.001), whereas mean LSA increased from 84\u00b0 at 10\u00b0 of HARA to 86\u00b0 at 20\u00b0, and 89\u00b0 at 30\u00b0 (p&lt;0.001). When examining radiographs, variability in HARA was present in 95% of the cases. The mean HARA difference between pairs of consecutive radiographs was 10\u00b0 \u00b1 10\u00b0. All comparisons performed in the respective pairs of radiographs showed the same pattern: in every pair, the radiograph with the higher HARA and SHARA demonstrated significantly higher LSA and significantly lower DSA (p &lt; 0.001). The intra-rater ICC was 0.98 for DSA and 0.99 for LSA for 3D measurements, whereas the inter-rater ICC was 0.77 for DSA, 0.79 for LSA, 0.86 for HARA, and 0.81 for SHARA for radiographic measurements. There was a statistically significant, moderate positive correlation between HARA, SHARA and LSA and a statistically significant moderate to strong negative correlation between HARA, SHARA and DSA in both 3D models and radiographs (p &lt; 0.001).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:&nbsp;<\/strong>In conclusion, this study shows that shoulder resting abduction significantly affects both LSA and DSA after rTSA. Higher humeral abduction results in higher LSA and lower DSA in both 3D models and radiographs. Humeral abduction should therefore be taken into account when planning lateralization and distalization in rTSA, and it should be controlled in future studies evaluating correlations with clinical outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-67291d4c-afad-4cfc-923b-7c116b65d925\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"publication_categories":[212],"class_list":["post-12998","publications","type-publications","status-publish","hentry","publication_categories-scientific-publication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Humeral Resting Abduction Influences LSA and DSA: A Radiographic and CT-derived 3D Model Analysis of rTSA using the Medacta Shoulder System - CEPCO - Centre Epaule Coude<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Medline Indexed (Pubmed) - 3D CT-derived shoulder models;
