Reliability and validity of a new deltoid muscle area measurement method after reverse shoulder arthroplasty

Background: Accurate deltoid muscle assessment after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is difficult using magnetic resonance imaging due to metal artifacts. We hypothesized that measuring the deltoid muscle area (DA) in the middle part of the deltoid’s total length postoperatively would reduce met...
