Can’t imagine choices as a nurse and someone who had a reverse total shoulder the surgeon should know what you need ?

I believe that in some situations either one would work. It seems to me after limited research that rTSA is used in the majority of cases today.
I am concerned due to the limited amount of long term studies of rTSA patients. I also think that I would prefer the better ROM after aTSA, and I wonder if changing the muscle group that moves the shoulder is preferable.
I like that recovery is easier with rTSA and that the necessity of revision surgery is less frequent.
I’m just beginning my research. My surgery is scheduled for the end on November, 2022.
