Level I randomized trials tend to be the most trustworthy because they take into account variables that are often overlooked in case studies compared with each other, and even devices like propensity match.
There have been reports of Level I randomized trials that examine important aspects of reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Below are some recent examples:
Results of a prospective, randomized study show that inferior tilt of the glenoid does not reduce scapular notching after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
