A two-year comparison of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty mini-humeral tray and augmented mini-glenoid baseplate implants vs. standard implants. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024; 144:1925-1935. [PMID: 38523239 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05276-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who undergo reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) are getting younger with greater function expectations. This retrospective, longitudinal study of prospectively collected data compared perceived shoulder function and strength, active shoulder mobility, radiographic evidence of scapular notching, and implant survival over the initial 2-years post-RTSA among patient groups who received either standard central fixation point liner and glenoid baseplate implants, or lower size profile mini-humeral tray with offset trunnion options and mini-augmented glenoid baseplate implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent primary RTSA using standard central fixation point liner and glenoid baseplate implants (Group 1, n = 180) were compared with patients who underwent primary RTSA using lower size profile mini-humeral tray with offset trunnion options and mini-augmented glenoid baseplate implants (Group 2, n = 53) for active shoulder mobility, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, perceived ability to lift 10 lbs (4.5 kg) overhead, radiographic evidence of scapular notching, and implant survival. Data was collected pre-surgery, 6-weeks, 6-months, 1-year, and 2-years post-RTSA (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS More Group 2 patients had more complex B or C Walch glenoid morphology, while Group 1 had more A1 or A2 types (p ≤ 0.001). Group 2 had greater active shoulder flexion at 6-months, 1-year, and 2-years (p ≤ 0.018) and external rotation (in adduction) at 6-months and 2-years (p ≤ 0.004) compared to Group 1, with higher ASES scores at 6-months and 2-years (p ≤ 0.026) (with small-to-medium effect sizes), and with more patients meeting or exceeding the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) at 2-years (p = 0.045) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) levels at 6-months, 1-year and 2-years (p ≤ 0.045). Scapular notching was identified in six of 53 (11.3%) Group 2 patients and in 32 of 180 (17.7%) Group 1 patients. Group 1 patients had more grade 2 or greater scapular notching grades compared to Group 2 (p = 0.04). Implant survival was comparable with Group 1 = eight of 180 (4.4%) and Group 2 = 1 of 53 (1.9%) of patients requiring removal for 95.6% and 98.1% implant survival, respectively. CONCLUSION Limited scapular notching and excellent implant survival was observed in both groups. Despite including individuals with more complex glenoid deficiency, patients receiving the lower size profile implants generally displayed better active shoulder mobility and perceived shoulder function compared to those who received standard implants. These patients also more frequently met or exceeded the MCID by 2-years post-RTSA and PASS levels by 6-months, 1-year, and 2-years post-RTSA, with lower scapular notching grades. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glenoid bone loss in shoulder arthroplasty is a difficult problem that is prone to complications because of challenges with achieving glenoid component fixation and stability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of primary shoulder hemiarthroplasty for patients with severe glenoid medialization precluding placement of a glenoid component. METHODS This was a retrospective case series evaluating patients who underwent shoulder hemiarthroplasty for severe glenoid erosion and medialization between 2010 and 2020. Patients were evaluated via chart review and phone survey to determine if there were any reoperations at final follow-up and to obtain Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs were evaluated and compared to determine glenoid morphology, version, medialization, acromiohumeral distance, and humeral offset. Final postoperative films were also evaluated for anterosuperior migration and signs of mechanical failure, including loosening or periprosthetic fracture. RESULTS Overall, there were 28 patients during this period who underwent shoulder hemiarthroplasty for severe glenoid medialization. Eight patients were deceased at the time of the study, 2 were unable to complete surveys because of dementia, and 7 were lost to follow-up. The final cohort included 11 shoulders and 11 patients with a mean age of 71 ± 7.1 years and mean follow-up of 6.7 years (range 1.6-13.0 years). Mean postoperative SANE, ASES, and SST scores were 80.6 ± 17.6, 71.5 ± 29.3, and 7.6 ± 2.0, respectively. There were no reoperations or revision surgeries at final follow-up. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated severe glenoid medialization and decreased lateral humeral offset, which was unchanged postoperatively. There were 2 patients with signs of anterosuperior migration at final radiographic follow-up but no signs of implant failure. CONCLUSION Shoulder hemiarthroplasty for severe medial glenoid bone loss provides modest clinical outcomes and low rates of reoperation at mid- to long-term follow-up and is an option worth considering in cases where placement of a glenoid component is challenging because of deficient bone stock and high risk for complications.

Abstract
Background: Reversed total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is an established surgery for many pathologies of the shoulder and the demand continues to rise with an aging population. Preoperative planning is mandatory to support the surgeon's understanding of the patient's individual anatomy and, therefore, is crucial for the patient's outcome. Methods: In this observational study, we identified 30 patients who underwent RTSA with two- and three-dimensional preoperative planning. Each patient underwent new two-dimensional planning from a medical student and an orthopedic resident as well as through a mid-volume and high-volume shoulder surgeon, which was repeated after a minimum of 4 weeks. The intra- and interobserver reliability was then analyzed and compared to the 3D planning and the implanted prosthesis. The evaluated parameters were the size of the pegged glenoid baseplate, glenosphere, and humeral short stem. Results: The inter-rater reliability showed higher deviations in all four raters compared to the 3D planning of the base plate, glenosphere, and shaft. The intra-rater reliability showed a better correlation in more experienced raters, especially in the planning of the shaft. Conclusions: Our study shows that 3D planning is more accurate than traditional planning on plain X-rays, despite experienced shoulder surgeons showing better results in 2D planning than inexperienced ones.

Abstract
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is widely popular among shoulder surgeons and patients, and its prevalence has increased dramatically in recent years. With this increased use, the indicated pathologies associated with RTSA are more likely to be encountered, and challenging patient presentations are more likely to be seen. One prominent challenging presentation is RTSA patients with severe glenoid bone loss. Several techniques with varying degrees of invasiveness, including excessive reaming, alternate centerline, bone grafting, and patient-specific implants (PSIs), have been developed to treat patients with this presentation. PSI treatment uses a three-dimensional reconstruction of a computed tomography scan to design a prosthetic implant or component customized to the patient's glenoid morphology, allowing compensation for any significant bone loss. The novelty of this technology implies a paucity of available literature, and although many studies show that PSIs have good potential for solving challenging shoulder problems, some studies have reported questionable and equivocal outcomes. Additional research is needed to explore the indications, outcomes, techniques, and cost-efficiency of this technology to help establish its role in current treatment guidelines and strategies.

Abstract
Background Glenoid retroversion and humeral head subluxation is a progressive disorder due to abnormal force coupling and increased contact force. In situ placement of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) components in this scenario results in edge loading, progressive subluxation, and early failure. Wedged glenoid components have been demonstrated to improve glenohumeral alignment, but have not been correlated with mid-term clinical outcomes. Methods Patients undergoing TSA using a wedged all-polyethylene glenoid component for retroverted glenoid deformity were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Preoperative planning computed tomography was routinely performed and compared to postoperative correction on radiographic evaluation. Evidence of loosening was correlated to prospectively collect clinical outcome using patient-reported outcome measures. A matched group of neutrally aligned glenohumeral joints undergoing anatomic TSA was used to compare improvement in clinical outcomes. Results Over a 5-year period, 17 patients with mean age 60 (range 43-81, standard deviation 10.5) were identified with a mean preoperative neoglenoid retroversion of 16.7° (standard deviation 4.5). At a mean follow-up of 43.8 months (range 27-60), no revision surgeries were undertaken. Improvement in the Oxford Shoulder Score was 18 points (P < .0001). The mean improvement was compared to a matched control group demonstrating a comparable magnitude of improvement of 20.4 points. Conclusion Wedged polyethylene components for Walch B2-type glenoids in TSA yield acceptable correction of the joint line, excellent clinical outcomes, and survivorship is maintained in the short term. The clinical and radiological outcome demonstrated similar improvement to that seen in A type deformities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Augmented glenoid baseplate and offset humeral tray reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) implants may decrease the mechanical impingement that creates scapular notching and improve shoulder function. This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of three different RTSA glenoid baseplate and offset humeral tray combinations for patient-reported shoulder function, pain and instability, radiographic imaging evidence of glenoid baseplate or humeral stem subsidence and migration, bony changes associated with implant loosening, and scapular notching over the initial 2 years post-RTSA. Primary outcomes included active shoulder mobility, perceived function, pain, instability, scapular notching, and implant survival. METHODS Sixty-seven patients from 6 research sites received one of three different glenoid baseplate and humeral tray combinations. Group 1 (n = 21) received a mini-augmented glenoid baseplate with a standard humeral tray; Group 2 (n = 23) received a standard glenoid baseplate and a mini-humeral tray with 3 trunnion offset options; Group 3 (n = 23) received both a mini-augmented glenoid baseplate and a mini-humeral tray with 3 trunnion offset options. Subjects underwent radiologic evaluation, completed the ASES scale, the EQ-5D-5L quality of life scale, VAS shoulder pain and instability questions, and active shoulder mobility measurements pre-operatively, and 6-weeks, 6-months, 1-2 years post-RTSA. RESULTS Improved active shoulder mobility, quality of life, perceived function, decreased shoulder pain and instability, excellent implant survival and minimal scapular notching were observed for all groups. Group 3 had better overall active shoulder mobility than the other groups and better perceived function than Group 1. CONCLUSION The group that received the mini-augmented glenoid baseplate and mini-humeral tray combination had better overall active shoulder flexion, external rotation at 90° abduction, and internal rotation. This group also had better perceived shoulder function compared to the group that received a mini-augmented glenoid baseplate with a standard humeral tray.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We compared the 2-year clinical outcomes of both anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA and RTSA) using intraoperative navigation compared to traditional positioning techniques. We also examined the effect of glenoid implant retroversion on clinical outcomes. HYPOTHESIS In both ATSA and RTSA, computer navigation would be associated with equal or better outcomes with fewer complications. Final glenoid version and degree of correction would not show outcome differences. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 216 ATSAs and 533 RTSAs were performed using preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Matched cohorts (2:1) for age, gender, and follow-up for cases without intraoperative navigation were compared using all standard shoulder arthroplasty clinical outcome metrics. Two subanalyses were performed on navigated cases comparing glenoids positioned greater or less than 10° of retroversion and glenoids corrected more or less than 15°. RESULTS For ASTA, no statistical differences were found between the navigated and non-navigated cohorts for postoperative complications, glenoid implant loosening, or revision rate. No significant differences were seen in any of the ATSA outcome metrics besides higher internal and external rotation in the navigated cohort. For RTSA, the navigated cohort showed an ARR of 1.7% (95% CI 0%, 3.4%) for postoperative complications and 0.7% (95% CI 0.1%, 1.2%) for dislocations. No difference was found in the revision rate, glenoid implant loosening, acromial stress fracture rates, or scapular notching. Navigated RTSA patients demonstrated significant improvements over non-navigated patients in internal rotation, external rotation, maximum lifting weight, the Simple Shoulder Test (SST), Constant, and Shoulder Arthroplasty Smart (SAS) scores. For the navigated subcohorts, ATSA cases with a higher degree of final retroversion showed significant improvement in pain, Constant, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), SST, University of California-Los Angeles shoulder score (UCLA), and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) scores. No significant differences were found in the RTSA subcohort. Higher degrees of version correction showed improvement in external rotation, SST, and Constant scores for ATSA and forward elevation, internal rotation, pain, SST, Constant, ASES, UCLA, SPADI, and SAS scores for RTSA. CONCLUSION The use of intraoperative navigation shoulder arthroplasty is safe, produces at least equally good outcomes at 2 years as standard instrumentation does without any increased risk of complications. The effect of final implant position above or below 10° of glenoid retroversion and correction more or less than 15° does not negatively impact outcomes.

Abstract
Background Two surgical techniques were compared : Standard BIO-RSA, performed with a glenoid eccentric reaming along with a cylindric bone graft augmentation vs. the Angled BIO-RSA, performed with a glenoid concentric reaming and a defect correction with an angled bone graft. Methods Patients undergoing RSA from January 2016 to April 2019, with one of the two techniques being performed, were retrospectively reviewed. Glenoids were classified according to Favard. Clinical (Constant-Murley, VAS and ROM) and radiographic (superior tilt correction) data were collected pre-operatively and at 12 months post-operatively. Results 141 shoulders were included. Angled BIO-RSA group showed statistically significant better outcomes in terms of forward flexion (149.9° Vs 139.3°) and abduction (136.4° Vs 126.7°). The use of an Angled BIO-RSA showed a statistically significant better superior tilt correction (1.252° Vs 4.09°). Angled BIO-RSA, leads to a better inclination correction and a mean postoperative tilt value inferior to 5° in E1 and E3 differently from standard BIO-RSA. Discussion Both techniques were able to correct glenoid superior inclination with excellent postoperative short-term results. However, angled BIO-RSA technique appears to be more effective in ensuring a correct inclination of the prosthetic glenoid component with better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background Superior inclination of the base plate in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is underestimated and may lead to major setbacks in terms of functional outcomes due to the altered biomechanics. Joint instability, scapular notching, and loosening of the glenoid component are considered the most serious sequelae. Therefore, a thorough preoperative radiological assessment of the affected shoulder joint and customized design of the prosthesis according to the glenoid morphology are decisive and directly correlated to the outcome. In this article, we propose a simple radiographic technique to assess the inclination of the glenoid preoperatively, which identifies the need for intraoperative correction. Materials and Methods One hundred inconspicuous shoulder radiographs were included in the control group (CG) to define the normal ranges of the base plate orientation angle (BOA) and the base plate correction angle (BCA). Further, both angles were measured on 2-dimensional (2D) computed tomography scans of patients with proximal humerus fractures as well as radiographs, 2D and 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography scans of patients with cuff tear arthropathy who underwent RSA between 2018 and 2021. The interobserver reliability among three independent testers was evaluated by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient. In cuff tear arthropathy cases, the BOA and BCA measurements on different imaging modalities were compared using the Wilcoxon test. Possible variations of both angles' values based on glenoid erosion types, according to the Favard classification, were also investigated. Results Regardless of the imaging modality used, the interobserver reliability was excellent among three independent observers. In the CG, the mean BOA and BCA values were 118° ± 6° and 17° ± 5°, respectively. The mean corrected BOA values of the CG and fracture group were 136° ± 5° and 140° ± 5°, respectively. In contrast to the BCA values, the BOA measurements on radiographs showed a statistically significant difference compared to those obtained on 2D- and 3D scans in the cuff arthropathy group. Further, both angles' values varied according to the extent and location of the glenoid erosion. The lowest mean BOA and highest mean BCA values were observed in cases with Favard glenoid type E3. Conclusions The BOA and the BCA are reliable tools proposed to aid in precisely positioning the glenoid component in RSA in the preoperative setting. Whereas, the BOA determines the inclination of the inferior glenoid segment, the BCA represents the extent of correction required to obtain a neutral inclination of the base plate. Glenoid type E3 of the Favard classification with superior wear is particularly susceptible to base plate superior tilt.

Abstract
Background Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are a major cause of morbidity after shoulder arthroplasty. Prior national database studies have estimated the trends of shoulder PJI up to 2012.21 Since 2012, the landscape of shoulder arthroplasty has changed drastically with the expanding popularity of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The dramatic growth in primary shoulder arthroplasties is likely paralleled with an increase of PJI case volume. The purpose of this study is to quantify the rise in shoulder PJIs and the economic stress they currently place on the American healthcare system as well as the toll they will incur over the coming decade. Methods The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was queried for primary and revision anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, and hemiarthroplasty from 2011-2018. Multivariate regression was used to predict cases and charges through the year 2030 adjusted to 2021 purchasing power parity. Results From 2011 to 2018, PJI was found to be 1.1% shoulder arthroplasties, from 0.8% (2011) to 1.4% (2018). Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty experienced the greatest proportion of infections at 2.0%, followed by hemiarthroplasty at 1.0% and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty at 0.3%. Total hospital charges grew 324%, from $44.8 million (2011) to $190.3 million (2018). Our regression model projects 176% growth in cases and 141% growth in annual charges by 2030. Conclusion This study demonstrates the large economic burden that shoulder PJIs pose on the American healthcare system, which is predicted to reach nearly $500 million in charges annually by 2030. Understanding trends in procedure volume and hospital charges will be critical in evaluating strategies to reduce shoulder PJIs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glenoid bone loss is a commonly encountered problem in complex primary and revision shoulder arthroplasty. Addressing glenoid bone loss is critical to avoid complications like early loosening, impingement, notching and instability. A large number of techniques like bone grafting using autograft or allograft, eccentric reaming, augmented base plates, patient-specific instrumentations and custom-made implants are available to tackle bone loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively collected the data of all patients with glenoid defects undergoing primary or revision reverse shoulder replacement between 2004 and 2017. This included demographic data, ranges of motion, Constant-Murley score and Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV). A pre-operative CT scan was done as well to plan the surgery and calculate the glenoid version. At each follow-up, the clinical function and shoulder scores were assessed. Additionally, the radiographs were assessed for graft incorporation, evidence of lysis and calculation of glenoid version. RESULTS Between 2004 and 2017, 37 patients underwent glenoid bone grafting during reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Average age was 72 years (range 46-88). Indications for surgery were cuff tear arthropathy (6 patients); revision of failed other prosthesis (23); primary osteoarthritis (4); rheumatoid arthritis (3); and second-stage revision for infection (1). The glenoid defect was contained in 24 patients, and therefore, impaction graft with a combination of bone graft substitute and/or humeral head autograft was performed. In 13 patients the glenoid defect was severe and uncontainable and therefore a graft-implant composite glenoid was implanted using humeral head autograft or allograft. Average follow-up was 3.6 years (range 1-10). Mean Constant score improved from 34 before surgery to 63 after surgery. Mean SSV score improved from 0.9/10 to 8.3/10. Active movements improved significantly with forward elevation increasing from 54° to 123°; abduction from 48° to 123°; external rotation from 24° to 38°; internal rotation from 57° to 70°. Radiographs at final follow-up showed no radiolucencies around the glenoid component and no evidence of loosening of the implant. In 2 cases there was a grade I notching. There was 100% survivorship at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION Impaction bone grafting along with structural grafting when required is an effective and reproducible way of managing severe glenoid bone loss. This technique gives consistent and good clinical and radiological results.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of primary glenohumeral arthritis (GHOA) is mediated by a complex interaction between osseous anatomy and the surrounding soft tissues. Recently, there has been growing interest in characterizing the association between the anterior shoulder joint capsule and primary GHOA because of the potential for targeted treatment interventions. Emerging evidence has shown substantial synovitis, fibrosis, and mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate in the anterior capsule of osteoarthritic shoulders. In addition, increased thickening of the anterior shoulder joint capsule has been associated with greater posterior glenoid wear and humeral head subluxation. While these findings suggest that anterior capsular disease may play a causative role in the etiology and progression of eccentric GHOA, further studies are needed to support this association. The purpose of this article is to review the pathogenesis of primary GHOA, contextualize current hypotheses regarding the role of the anterior capsule in the disease process, and provide directions for future research.

Abstract
Glenoid implantation in revision arthroplasty of the shoulder remains a technical challenge in the case of severe bone loss. Metal glenoid augmentation and patient-specific glenoid implants represent new treatment options with great potential. Virtual planning techniques allow a differentiated evaluation of the extent of the bone loss and the planning of different augmentation options. Although not clearly defined so far, a patient-specific implant can be indicated if adequate fixation of the base plate in the native bone appears questionable. The planning is carried out with the support of the prostheses manufacturer and the stability is simulated using finite element analysis. A high level of primary stability is achieved by an optimized fitting of the implant into the bony defect. The short-term results are promising. However, in the absence of long-term results and limited options in case of revision, the use of a custom-made glenoid warrants a strict indication.

Abstract
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty presents itself sometimes as challenging when it comes to addressing massive bone loss, either in primary or revision settings. Custom components recently have made their way into shoulder prosthetics and are meant to help in the case of extensive glenoid bone destruction. Because of strict indication and the fairly recent introduction of these implants, the usage of custom-made glenoid implants is not very common yet. However, the early results are promising. The purpose of this review was to summarize and analyze the available literature. Therefore, a systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search of the databases PubMed, Cochrane, and Livivo was performed to screen for studies reporting on clinical and radiological outcomes of custom glenoid implants. Four studies with a total of 46 shoulders were included in this review. The mean patient age was 68.8 years and the mean time of follow-up was 24.3 months. The weighted means showed an increase in CMS (32.7 points), in ASES (39.8 points), in anteversion (67.4 degrees), and in abduction (51.9 degrees) and a decrease in VAS (5.4 points). Custom-made glenoid implants are therefore a viable option in cases of large combined glenoid bone loss, both in primary and revision shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
Aims Rates of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) continue to grow. Glenoid bone loss and deformity remains a technical challenge to the surgeon and may reduce improvements in patients’ outcomes. However, there is no consensus as to the optimal surgical technique to best reconstruct these patients’ anatomy. This review aims to compare the outcomes of glenoid bone grafting versus augmented glenoid prostheses in the management of glenoid bone loss in primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated study-level data in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. We performed searches of Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), and PubMed from their dates of inception to January 2022. From included studies, we analyzed data for preoperative and postoperative range of motion (ROM), patient-reported functional outcomes, and complication rates. Results A total of 13 studies (919 shoulders) were included in the analysis. The mean age of patients at initial evaluation was 72.2 years (42 to 87), with a mean follow-up time of 40.7 months (24 to 120). Nine studies with 292 rTSAs evaluated the use of bone graft and five studies with 627 rTSAs evaluated the use of augmented glenoid baseplates. One study was analyzed in both groups. Both techniques demonstrated improvement in patient-reported outcome measures and ROM assessment, with augmented prostheses outperforming bone grafting on improvements in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score. There was a higher complication rate (8.9% vs 3.5%; p < 0.001) and revision rate among the bone grafting group compared with the patients who were treated with augmented prostheses (2.4% vs 0.6%; p = 0.022). Conclusion This review provides strong evidence that both bone graft and augmented glenoid baseplate techniques to address glenoid bone loss give excellent ROM and functional outcomes in primary rTSA. The use of augmented base plates may confer fewer complications and revisions. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(12):1334–1342.

Augmented baseplates yield optimum outcomes when compared with bone graft augmentation for managing glenoid deformity during reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: a retrospective comparative study. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 32:958-971.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) using glenoid bone grafting (BG rTSA) with primary rTSA using augmented glenoid baseplates (Aug rTSA) with a minimum 2-year follow-up. METHODS A total of 520 primary rTSA patients treated with 8° posterior glenoid augments (n = 246), 10° superior glenoid augments (n = 97), or combined 10° superior/8° posterior glenoid augments (n = 177) were compared with 47 patients undergoing glenoid bone grafting for glenoid bone insufficiency. The mean follow-up was 37.0(±16) and 53.0(±27) months, respectively. Outcomes were analyzed preoperatively and at the latest follow-up using conventional statistics and stratification by minimum clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) thresholds where applicable. Radiographs were analyzed for baseplate failure, and the incidences of postoperative complications and revisions were recorded. RESULTS The glenoid Aug rTSA cohort had greater improvements in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and range of motion when compared with the BG rTSA group at a minimum of 2-year follow-up, including Simple Shoulder Test, Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, University of California Los Angeles score, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score, shoulder function, Shoulder Arthroplasty Smart score, abduction, and external rotation (P < .05). Patient satisfaction was higher in the Aug rTSA group compared with the BG rTSA group (P = .006). The utilization of an augmented glenoid component instead of glenoid bone grafting resulted in approximately 50% less total intraoperative time (P < .001), nearly 33% less intraoperative blood loss volume (P < .001), approximately 3-fold less scapular notching (P < .01), and approximately 15-fold less adverse events requiring revision (P < .01) when compared with the BG rTSA cohort. Aside from SCB for abduction, the Aug rTSA cohort achieved higher rates of exceeding MCID and SCB for every PROM compared with BG rTSA. More specifically, 77.6% and 70.2% of the Aug rTSA achieved SCB for American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index vs. 55% and 48.6% in the BG rTSA, respectively (P = .003 and P = .013). CONCLUSION The present midterm clinical and radiographic study demonstrates that the utilization of an augmented baseplate for insufficient glenoid bone stock is superior as judged by multiple PROMs and range of motion metrics when compared with bone graft augmentation at minimum 2-year follow-up. In addition, when analyzed according to MCID and SCB thresholds, the use of augmented baseplates outperforms the use of glenoid bone grafting. Complication and revision rates also favor the use of augmented glenoid baseplates over glenoid bone grafting. Long-term clinical and radiographic follow-up is necessary to confirm that these promising midterm results are durable.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 32:972-979. [PMID: 36400340 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Eccentric glenoid bone loss patterns (B- and C-type glenoid) pose a difficult challenge when performing shoulder arthroplasty. Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with preferential high-side reaming (ATSA + HSR) has been an accepted method to treat this problem. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has become an alternative method to manage these cases with eccentric glenoid wear. The purpose of this study was to compare the early 2-year outcomes with the midterm outcomes for patients who underwent ATSA + HSR vs. RSA for eccentric glenoid wear patterns with an intact rotator cuff. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2008 to 2014 there were 242 shoulder arthroplasties performed in the setting of eccentric glenoid wear patterns. Of that initial cohort 101 ATSA + HSR and 93 RSA had both 2-year and final follow-up with a minimum of 7 years from surgery. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), range of motion, patient satisfaction, and radiographs were evaluated for each cohort and contrasted at the 2-year follow-up point and last follow-up time point. RESULTS The average follow-up in the ATSA + HSR cohort was 8.3 years compared with 7.8 years in the RSA cohort. At the 2-year follow-up point, the ATSA + HSR group had better average ASES scores (85 vs. 80 [P < .001]), SST scores (10 vs. 9.6 [P < .001]), forward elevation (162° vs. 151° [P < .001]), external rotation (47° vs. 42° [P < .001]), and internal rotation (IR) (80% full IR vs. 55% full IR [P < .001]). At the 2-year follow-up, 95% of the ATSA + HSR cohort were satisfied compared with 93% in the RSA cohort. At the final follow-up, the RSA group had better average ASES scores (80 vs. 77 [P < .001]) and SST scores (9.4 vs. 8 [P < .001]) and a similar forward elevation (152° vs. 149° [P = .025]). The ATSA + HSR had better external rotation (45° vs. 41° [P < .001]) and IR (74% full IR vs. 54% full IR [P = .005]). Patient satisfaction at the final follow-up had decreased to 82% in the ATSA + HSR group, compared with 95% satisfied in the RSA group. Of the initial ATSA + HSR cohort, 8% of patients had undergone revision compared with 2% in the RSA cohort. CONCLUSION ATSA with HSR had better outcome scores and range of motion with a similar patient satisfaction rating to RSA at the 2-year point. Over time, the ATSA + HSR results deteriorated, and at the final midterm follow-up, the RSA group had more durable results with better outcome scores, a higher patient satisfaction rating, and a lower revision rate.

Abstract
Glenohumeral osteoarthritis has proven to be a major contributor to shoulder joint pain and dysfunction in the elderly. There are several conditions about the shoulder that contribute to the development of glenohumeral osteoarthritis, which includes traumatic injuries, rotator cuff pathology, glenohumeral instability, glenoid dysplasia, and osteonecrosis. When glenohumeral osteoarthritis pain is refractory to conservative treatment, intra-articular injections and surgery can be performed. The radiologist should be aware of the varying types of shoulder arthroplasties, what preoperative findings influence that decision and the expected postoperative appearance of the differing components.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective was to evaluate the short-term clinical and radiological outcomes following augmented anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with posterior glenoid deficiency. METHODS An electronic search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed identified studies reporting clinical and radiographic outcomes following augmented anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty among patients with posterior glenoid deficiency. RESULTS Nine studies including 312 shoulders underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty using an augmented glenoid implant between 2015 and 2020. A statistically significant improvement in range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS), American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant, University of California - Los Angeles and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores was demonstrated at mean follow-up of 37.1 months. Glenoid retroversion improved from 21.8° to 9.5°. At final follow-up, radiolucency was reported in 35.1% of shoulders. The 16° full-wedge augment led to higher and more severe radiographic lucency, while high peg perforation rates (44%) were observed among 5-mm augment stepped implants. The overall rate of complication was 2.6%. Rate of revision surgery was 1.9%. CONCLUSIONS Overall, early- to mid-term outcomes following augmented anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty for posterior glenoid deficiency demonstrate good to excellent overall clinical results. More radiographic and clinical failures were reported in larger full wedge (16°) augments and stepped augments (5 mm). Prospective studies examining mid- and long-term outcomes will help further elucidate safety and efficacy of these relatively new implants.

Abstract
Anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has been used widely in treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and provides excellent pain relief and functional results. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) was created to treat the complex problem of rotator cuff tear arthropathy. RSA also has been performed for glenohumeral osteoarthritis even in cases where the rotator cuff is preserved and has shown good results comparable with TSA. The indications for RSA are expanding to include tumors of the proximal humerus, revision of hemiarthroplasty to RSA, and revision of failed TSA to RSA. The purposes of this article were to describe comprehensively the conditions under which RSA should be considered in glenohumeral osteoarthritis, to explain its theoretical background, and to review the literature.

Heifner JJ, Kumar AD, Wagner ER. Glenohumeral osteoarthritis with intact rotator cuff treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:2895-2903. [PMID: 34293419 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has shown satisfactory outcomes in rotator cuff-deficient shoulders, its performance in shoulders with an intact rotator cuff has not been fully elucidated. Shoulder osteoarthritis can present with alterations in glenoid morphology, which have contributed to inconsistent outcomes in anatomic shoulder replacement. The glenoid component is responsible for a predominance of these arthroplasty complications. Given these glenoid-related difficulties, RSA may provide a more favorable option. We aimed to summarize the current literature on rotator cuff intact osteoarthritis treated with primary RSA and to determine whether morphologic changes in the glenoid led to inferior outcomes. METHODS A literature search was performed using an inclusion criterion of primary RSA for osteoarthritis with an intact rotator cuff. The Modified Coleman Methodology Score was calculated to analyze reporting quality. Following appropriate exclusions, of the 1002 studies identified by the databases, 13 were selected. RESULTS Postoperative improvement in weighted means for Constant scores reached statistical significance (P = .02). The mean rate of major complications was 3.8%. A subset of 8 studies was created that detailed the following descriptions of altered glenoid morphology: "static posterior instability," "severe posterior subluxation," "posterior glenoid wear >20°," "significant posterior glenoid bone loss," "biconcave glenoid," "B2 glenoid," and "B/C glenoid." Within this subset, the mean complication rate was 4.7%, with 4 of the 7 studies having a rate ≤ 3%, and improvements in the Constant score (P = .002) and external rotation (P = .02) reached statistical significance. DISCUSSION RSA as treatment for osteoarthritis with an intact rotator cuff provides optimal outcomes with low complication rates across a short term of follow up. Preoperative considerations for using reverse arthroplasty in the treatment of osteoarthritis with an intact rotator cuff include glenoid retroversion, posterior humeral subluxation, and glenoid bone loss. The attributes of reverse arthroplasty that contribute to favorable outcomes in arthritic shoulders include its semiconstrained design and robust glenoid fixation. Soft-tissue imbalances as a consequence of pathologic glenoid morphology and chronic humeral subluxation can be mitigated with the RSA semiconstrained design. Glenoid bone loss can be effectively managed with RSA's robust glenoid fixation, with and without the use of bone graft. The capability to lateralize the joint center of rotation may be valuable when faced with a medialized glenoid wear pattern. The current findings suggest that reverse arthroplasty can achieve highly favorable outcomes for glenohumeral osteoarthritis with an intact rotator cuff.

Biconcave glenoids show 3 differently oriented posterior erosion patterns. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:2620-2628. [PMID: 33964426 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.04.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior glenoid wear remains a challenge in anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) because of an asymmetric erosion with altered retroversion. The purpose of this study was to assess glenoid morphology and evaluate the influence of acromial orientation in posterior glenoid erosion patterns by using 3-dimensional (3D) models. MATERIAL AND METHODS Computed tomographic (CT) shoulder scans from 3 study centers of patients awaiting rTSA between 2017 and 2018 were converted into 3D models and analyzed by 2 observers. Morphology, orientation and greatest depth of erosion, inclination, current retroversion and premorbid retroversion, surface areas of the glenoid, and external acromial orientation and posterior acromial slope were assessed. Measurements were compared between wear patterns, glenoid erosion entities, and genders. RESULTS In the complete cohort of 68 patients (63.8 ± 10.0 years; 19 female, 49 male), a mean of 85.9° (±22.2°) was observed for the glenoid erosion orientation. Additionally, a further distinct classification of the glenoid erosion as posterior-central (PC, n = 39), posterior-inferior (PI, n = 12), and posterior-superior (PS, n = 17) wear patterns was possible. These wear patterns significantly (P < .001) distinguished by erosion orientation (PC = 86.9° ± 12.0°, PI = 116.3° ± 10.3°, PS = 62.3° ± 18.9°). The greatest depth of erosion found was 7.3 ± 2.7 mm in PC wear patterns (PC vs. PI: P = .03; PC vs. PS: n.s.; PI vs. PS: n.s.). Overall, the observed erosion divided the glenoid surface into a paleoglenoid proportion of 48% (±11%) and a neoglenoid proportion of 52% (±12%). For the complete cohort, glenoid inclination was 85.4° (±6.6°), premorbid glenoid retroversion was 80.7° (±8.1°), and current glenoid retroversion was 73.4° (±7.4°), with an estimated increase of 6.9° (±6.0°). The mean external acromial orientation was 118.2° (±8.9°), and the mean posterior acromial slope was 107.2° (±9.6°). There were no further significant differences if parameters were compared by wear patterns, entities, and gender. CONCLUSION Three significantly differently oriented wear patterns (posterior-superior, posterior-central, and posterior-inferior) were distinguished in shoulders demonstrating posterior wear on axillary imaging. No significant differences between the observed erosion patterns or any relevant correlations were found regarding the orientation of the acromion.

Abstract
Background Walch B2 glenoid morphology with glenohumeral osteoarthritis is a difficult degenerative pattern to manage for shoulder surgeons. Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in combination with eccentric reaming or bone grafting are the traditional methods of treatment. Newer approaches such as TSA with posteriorly augmented glenoid components and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) may offer better stability for the posteriorly subluxated biconcave B2 wear pattern. The aim of this systematic review is to compare mid-term surgical and functional outcomes of Walch B2 glenoids without significant rotator cuff pathology treated with TSA and RSA. Methods The review was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines by searching the MEDLINE (PubMed) and Embase (Elsevier) databases. Inclusion criteria were clinical studies that evaluated the outcomes and complications of TSA or RSA in the setting of B2 glenoid morphology without significant rotator cuff pathology. Data relevant to TSA and RSA surgical outcomes were extracted and compiled, and outcomes were compared. A meta-analysis of proportions of complication and revision rates among TSA and RSA groups was performed. Results Overall, 16 articles were included with 414 TSAs and 78 RSAs. The average follow-up duration was 54.1 ± 14.8 months for patients undergoing TSA and 44.8 ± 10.1 months for patients undergoing RSA. The TSA group was further subdivided based on the use of eccentric reaming (135 TSAs), an augmented glenoid component (84 TSAs), or bone grafting (11 TSAs) or was unspecified (184 TSAs). Overall, patients undergoing TSA and RSA demonstrated mean improvements of 50.1 ± 8.5° and 64.7 ± 5.2° in active flexion, 58.5 ± 10.3° and 68.9 ± not reported° in active abduction, and 31.3 ± 5.7° and 29.0 ± 10.2° in active external rotation, respectively. In regard to functional outcome scores, patients undergoing TSA and RSA showed mean Constant score improvements of 38.8 ± 5.3 and 46.6 ± 3.1 points and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score improvements of 48.2 ± 1.0 and 49.2 ± 25.3 points, respectively. Results of the meta-analysis with mid-term follow-up data demonstrated pooled complication rates of 9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1%-22%) for TSA and 6% (95% CI, 0%-28%) for RSA and pooled revision rates of 2% (95% CI, 0%-8%) for TSA and 1% (95% CI, 0%-15%) for RSA. Conclusion In the setting of Walch B2 glenoid morphology, TSA with eccentric reaming or an augmented component yields comparable outcomes to RSA. Based on the patient's age, activity level, and expectations, both TSA and RSA can be considered a reasonable option to treat Walch B2 glenoid morphology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty can be challenging in patients with complex glenoid wear patterns and bone loss. Severe retroversion (>15°) or significant bone loss may require bone grafting. This review summarizes the rate of revision and long-term outcomes of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with bone graft. METHODS A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and CENTRAL databases was conducted from the date of inception to 23 October 2018. Two reviewers independently screened articles for eligibility and extracted data for analysis. The primary outcome was rate of revision. The secondary outcomes were rate of component loosening, functional outcome, and range of motion. RESULTS Of the 1056 articles identified in the search, 26 underwent full-text screening and 7 articles were included in the analysis. All procedures were one-stage anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties. The rate of revision was 5.4% with component loosening and infection listed as indications over a weighted mean follow-up period of 6.3 years. Complications occurred in 12.6% of patients. CONCLUSION Glenoid bone grafting in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty results in comparable revision rates and improvement in pain compared to augmented glenoid components and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Due to the low quality of evidence, further prospective studies should be conducted. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Shoulder arthroplasty is performed with increasing frequency, and osteoarthritis is the most common indication for this procedure. However, the glenoid side of the joint is widely recognized as a limiting factor in the long-term durability of shoulder replacement, and osteoarthritis leads to characteristic bony changes at the glenoid which can exacerbate this challenge by reducing the already limited glenoid bone stock, by altering biomechanics, and by interfering with operative exposure. This article reviews the Walch classification system for glenoid morphology. Several typical findings of osteoarthritis at the glenoid are discussed including central bone loss, posterior bone loss, retroversion, biconcavity, inclination, osteophyte formation, subchondral bone quality, and bone density. The three primary types of shoulder arthroplasty are reviewed, along with several techniques for addressing glenoid deformity, including eccentric reaming, bone grafting, and the use of augmented glenoid components. Ultimately, a primary objective at shoulder arthroplasty is to correct glenoid deformity while preserving bone stock, which depends critically on characterizing the glenoid at pre-operative imaging. Understanding the surgical techniques and the implications of glenoid morphology on surgical decision-making enables the radiologist to provide the morphologic information needed by the surgeon.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND Complex glenoid bone loss and deformity present a challenge for the shoulder arthroplasty surgeon. Eccentric reaming, bone grafting, augmented glenoid components, and salvage hemiarthroplasty are common strategies for managing these patients. The glenoid vault reconstruction system (VRS; Zimmer-Biomet) is a novel solution for both primary and revision arthroplasty using a custom glenoid baseplate. We hypothesized that patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with VRS would have acceptable short-term outcomes and complication rates. METHODS Patients who underwent RSA with VRS for severe glenoid deformity or bone loss by one of 4 board-certified, fellowship-trained shoulder and elbow surgeons at 3 academic tertiary referral centers between September 2015 and November 2018 were eligible for inclusion. Patient data were obtained via medical record review and telephone questionnaires. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), Penn Shoulder Scores, and range of motion (ROM) measurements were obtained pre- and postoperatively. Radiographs were reviewed at final follow-up for evidence of component loosening or hardware failure. Any complication was documented. Outcomes were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with P <. 05 considered significant. RESULTS Twelve shoulders (11 patients) were included with a mean age of 68 years; 7 were primary arthroplasties and 5 were revisions. At an average follow-up time of 30 months, median improvement in NPRS score was 7 points, SANE score 43%, ASES score 45 points, and Penn Shoulder Score 49 points. There were statistically significant improvements in median ROM measurements (forward elevation 20°, external rotation 40°, internal rotation 2 spinal levels). At final follow-up, all implants were radiographically stable without loosening. There were no complications. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that RSA using the custom VRS glenoid implant is a safe and effective technique addressing complex glenoid deformity or bone loss in both primary and revision settings. At short-term follow-up, all patient-reported outcomes and ROM measures improved significantly, and there were no complications. Future work should determine mid- and long-term outcomes, preferably in a prospective manner with defined patient populations.

Abstract
The treatment of severe glenoid bone loss in shoulder arthroplasty represents a challenge, and the results of current prosthetic designs with only glenoid fixation still remain unsatisfactory. In the past decade, customized glenoid prostheses have been developed to address severe glenoid arthritis and in the revision setting. In this review, we analyzed the current surgical options, the classification limits, past literature evidence, and our preliminary results of 6 patients (3 male, 3 female) treated with a reverse implant and custom-made glenoid implant (ProMade; LimaCorporate, Italy). Computer analysis of the residual shape and the amount of glenoid bone stock in association with new classifications could help the surgeon to obtain good clinical and radiological outcomes. The development of navigation systems could improve the adequacy of the implant and, thus, the reliability and longevity of the implant itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total shoulder arthroplasty offers a reliable means with which to treat glenohumeral joint arthritis. Posterior glenoid bone loss presents a unique challenge with an increased risk of glenoid component failure. The use of posterior bone-grafting is one method to address glenoid bone loss in patients undergoing anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of the present study was to assess the outcome and survival of the glenoid component following the use of bone graft to address posterior glenoid bone loss in patients undergoing anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS A systematic review of posterior glenoid bone-grafting in patients undergoing anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty was performed. Studies evaluating patient-reported outcomes, complications, and imaging assessments of the glenoid component as well as of bone graft structural healing and integrity following posterior glenoid bone-grafting were included. Data extracted included demographic characteristics, Walch classification, bone-grafting method, clinical outcomes measures, complications, radiolucency around the glenoid component, graft failure, posterior humeral head subluxation, and time of the latest follow-up. RESULTS Six studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ninety-four patients from these 6 studies underwent posterior glenoid bone-grafting with anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty. The mean age was 59.7 years, and the mean duration of follow-up was 5.7 years. Overall, 57% of the patients had an excellent postoperative Neer score. At the time of the latest follow-up, 28.7% had evidence of radiolucency and 35% had humeral head subluxation or instability. Thirteen patients (14%) underwent revision of the glenoid component by the time of the latest follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated a 28.7% complication rate, a 14% revision rate, a 17% graft failure rate, and a 35% rate of recurrence of posterior humeral head subluxation. Posterior glenoid bone-grafting to correct bone loss is associated with a substantial risk of postoperative complications. The treatment of posterior glenoid bone loss remains a challenge in patients undergoing anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown variations in glenoid bone density in asymmetric wear patterns but have yet to analyze non-arthritic or concentrically worn glenoids. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study is to characterize and compare subchondral glenoid bone densities in both non-arthritic and A1, A2, B1, B2 and B3 osteoarthritic glenoids, as well as to assess uniformity in symmetric and asymmetric erosion wear patterns. METHODS In all, 150 computerized tomography (CT) scans containing equal numbers of non-arthritic (N), A1, A2, B1, B2 and B3 glenoids were segmented semi-automatically. Each reconstructed glenoid was divided first into anterior and posterior quadrants, and then further subdivided into four quadrants. Volumes of interest (VOI) were defined at depths of 0-2.5mm (Zone A), 2.5-5mm (Zone B) and 5-7.5mm (Zone C). Average bone densities were measured at each VOI depth and in each quadrant. RESULTS Osteoarthritic glenoids had higher mean bone densities than N glenoids. Mean bone densities were uniform amongst all quadrants for N glenoids, but not for osteoarthritic glenoids. In A1 glenoids, the antero-superior quadrant was less dense in Zone C. A2 glenoids had increased bone density measured posteriorly in Zones B and C. In B1 and B2 glenoids, Zones B and C demonstrated increased bone densities of posterior quadrants compared to anterior quadrants. B3 glenoids presented similar results as A1 and A2 glenoids. Cystic changes were more pronounced in anterior quadrants of A2, B1, B2 and B3 glenoids. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that osteoarthritic glenoids have greater bone density than non-arthritic glenoids, independent of depth of interest. It also confirms that N glenoids have uniform erosion wear patterns and that B1 and B2 glenoids have irregular wear patterns. It is the first study to reveal that A1, A2 and B3 glenoids, though geometrically symmetrical, have irregular bony densities similar to B2 glenoids. These findings have clinical implications for reaming the glenoid and implant fixation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Basic Science, Anatomy, Imaging.

Clinical characteristics and patient-reported outcomes of total shoulder arthroplasty after anterior stabilization: a retrospective matched control study. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2020; 29:S59-S66. [PMID: 32643610 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2019] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Instability arthropathy is a known cause of glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) among patients with and without prior shoulder stabilization. This study aims to compare the clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scores among total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) patients with and without a history of shoulder stabilization. METHODS A case-control study was performed comparing 20 patients with a history of anterior shoulder stabilization (11 open, 9 arthroscopic) who underwent TSA to a matched cohort of 20 TSA patients without a history of shoulder surgery (mean follow-up = 2.8 years). Patients were matched by sex, age, and baseline American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES) score within 10 points (mean age 59.6 ± 9.6 years). Patient characteristics, operative findings, and preoperative and postoperative radiographic characteristics for both groups were reported. Comparisons were made regarding PROM scores (ASES, 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), Shoulder Activity Scale [SAS], numeric rating scale for pain) at baseline, 2 years, and 5 years and patient satisfaction at 2 years. RESULTS Intraoperative findings of subscapularis scarring or attenuation was common among patients with prior anterior stabilization. The instability cohort did have a higher percentage of B2/B3 glenoid types than the OA cohort (45% vs. 15%), but this was not significantly different possibly because of the small sample size. At 2 years, both instability and OA groups reported significant improvement in pain, function, and activity level. There was no difference between groups on any PROMs or patient satisfaction level. At 5 years, instability patients had significantly lower scores on the ASES and the SF-12 PCS than the OA group. CONCLUSION There was notable alterations in both soft tissue and bony morphology among patients with prior anterior stabilization. After TSA, both instability and primary OA groups showed significant improvements at 2 years. However, PROMs for instability patients deteriorated at 5 years compared with the control group. Complex bony and soft tissue imbalances may contribute to more unpredictable long-term PROM scores. Thoughtful preoperative consideration of these factors should influence decision making regarding selection of TSA for management of OA in this complex patient cohort.

Reduction of scapulohumeral subluxation with posterior augmented glenoid implants in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty: Short-term 3D comparison between pre- and post-operative CT. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2020; 106:681-686. [PMID: 32284278 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2020.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Revised: 02/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Failure rates in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) are higher in case of asymmetric glenoid bone loss secondary to posterior wear, and in persistent static posterior subluxation of the humeral head (PSH). HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of posterior augmented glenoid (PAG) implants with three-dimensional (3D) surgical planning and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) guides helps reduce short-term PSH after aTSA in patients with type B2-B3 glenoids. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included nine consecutive patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and type B2 or B3 glenoids, who underwent aTSA with cemented keeled PAG implants (posterior augments of 15, 25, or 35 degrees). All patients underwent preoperative shoulder computed tomography (CT) scans, with 3D surgical planning coupled to PSI at the time of surgery. Postoperative shoulder CT scans were performed at an average of 14 weeks (range, 10-21 weeks). Scapulohumeral subluxation and glenoid version and inclination were measured in 3D, on both pre- and post-operative CT scans, using the same reliable quantitative method. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in scapulohumeral subluxation from 49±12% preoperatively to 22±17% postoperatively (p=0.0039), with a large effect size (Cohen's d=1.89). Preoperative glenoid version was corrected from -17.3±9.4 degrees to -5.2±7.5 degrees postoperatively. The absolute difference between the postoperative and surgically planned version and inclination was 5.4±3.6 degrees and 3.3±2.0 degrees, respectively. DISCUSSION The combined use of PAG implants with 3D preoperative planning and PSI results in a significant decrease in short-term PSH and glenoid version in patients with asymmetric posterior glenoid wear. We suggest that such implants should not be limited to posterior augmentation, because glenoid deficiency can also be observed in other glenoid sectors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, Basic science study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to quantify the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with severe posterior glenoid wear who were treated with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) and a posterior augmented baseplate. METHODS A total of 67 primary rTSA patients with osteoarthritis and posterior glenoid wear were treated with an 8° posterior augmented glenoid baseplate. All patients had a Walch B2, B3, or C glenoid, 2-year minimum follow-up, and mean follow-up of 40 months. All patients were scored preoperatively and at the latest follow-up using 5 clinical outcome metrics; active range of motion was also measured. A Student's 2-tailed, unpaired t-test quantified differences in outcomes, where P < .05 denoted significance. RESULTS All patients experienced significant improvements in pain and function after primary rTSA with a posterior augmented glenoid baseplate. Three complications were reported for a rate of 4.5%; no cases of aseptic glenoid loosening occurred. A total of 90% of patients exceeded the minimal clinically important difference threshold, and 80% of patients exceeded the substantial clinical benefit threshold for each clinical outcome metric and range of motion measure. No differences in outcomes or complications were observed between Walch B2 and B3 patients, demonstrating that this full-wedge posterior augmented baseplate was equally good in each type of glenoid deformity. DISCUSSION Primary rTSA patients with Walch B2, B3, and C glenoids who received an 8° posterior augmented glenoid baseplate experienced excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes with a low complication rate and no reports of aseptic glenoid loosening at a mean follow-up of 40 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint is often associated with posterior glenoid wear. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a posteriorly augmented glenoid in patients who have a Walch B glenoid deformity when treated with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). METHODS At total of 68 primary aTSA patients with osteoarthritis and a Walch B glenoid deformity were treated with an 8° posteriorly augmented glenoid. All patients were evaluated and underwent scoring preoperatively and at latest follow-up with 5 clinical outcome scoring metrics; active range of motion (ROM) was also measured. The mean follow-up period was 50 months, with a 2-year minimum follow-up period. RESULTS All patients experienced significant improvements in pain and function following aTSA with a posteriorly augmented glenoid, and 90% of patients exceeded the minimal clinically important difference threshold for the clinical outcome metric scores and ROM measures. Two-thirds of patients exceeded the substantial clinical benefit threshold for the clinical outcome metrics and ROM. Preoperatively, the humeral head was posteriorly subluxated an average of 73% for each Walch B glenoid type, and at latest follow-up, all humeral heads were re-centered on the posteriorly augmented glenoid. Two patients with augmented glenoids who had Walch B2 glenoids underwent revision for aseptic glenoid loosening. DISCUSSION Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty patients with Walch B glenoids receiving an 8° posteriorly augmented wedge glenoid experienced excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes with a patient satisfaction rate greater than 97% and a low complication rate at a mean follow-up of 50 months. Humeral head centering was maintained for each type of Walch B glenoid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study objective was to compare the reaming congruency of hand, power, and visual feedback axial alignment-guided (Marksman) reamers on glenoid models. We hypothesized that (1) a significant difference in average reaming deviation would be found between reamer types and (2) less ream-to-ream variation would occur with the Marksman reamer. METHODS Retroversion correction of 18 identical Sawbones glenoid models was conducted using either a hand, power, or Marksman reamer with a 40-mm curvature radius. Glenoid correction with either 0° or 10° reaming was conducted in triplicate sets for each reamer. Reamed glenoid computed tomography images were 3-dimensionally reconstructed using Mimics Medical software (version 21.0). Congruency between the glenoid surface and a 3-dimensional sphere with a 40-mm curvature radius was analyzed. Average deviation and ream-to-ream variance were compared between the hand, power, and Marksman reamer groups. RESULTS The power reamer demonstrated the smallest median deviation (0.08 mm; interquartile range [IQR], 0.07-0.19 mm), followed by the Marksman (0.09 mm; IQR, 0.08-0.17 mm) and hand (0.11 mm; IQR, 0.10-0.13 mm) reamers. Kruskal-Wallis analysis indicated no significant difference in deviation among the 3 reaming methods (P = .42). The Marksman reamer demonstrated the least variance (0.0034 mm), followed by the power (0.0076 mm) and hand (0.0093 mm) reamers. The results of the Conover squared ranks test indicated no significant difference in variance among the 3 reaming methods (P = .32). CONCLUSION Our findings showed no statistically significant difference in the accuracy or consistency of reaming between reamer types. Trends showed less variance in the Marksman reamer group compared with the hand and power reamer groups, although differences in variation between groups were not statistically significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main limits of the Grammont design reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) are loss of external rotation and scapular notching. They can be addressed with glenoid or humeral lateralization. The aim of the study was to compare outcomes of lateralized bony increased-offset RSA (BIO-RSA) vs. standard RSA in patients with an onlay 145° curved stem. METHODS A comparative cohort study of 29 standard RSAs and 30 BIO-RSAs was performed. At 2 years postoperatively, Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, visual analog scale score, range of motion, and radiographs were evaluated. After comparison between the groups, patients were analyzed considering patients younger and older than 65 years. RESULTS All parameters significantly improved after surgery in both groups. Postoperatively, the 2 groups did not show any clinical and radiographic differences (P > .05). In patients <66 years, BIO-RSA showed a significantly higher value of external rotation (49° ± 12° vs. 30° ± 19° [P = .025], elbow at side; 81° ± 17° vs. 56° ± 22° [P = .016], elbow at 90° of abduction) and a positive trend for all other parameters (P > .05). In patients >65 years, standard technique showed a positive trend for all the parameters (P > .05). No other significant differences were found. CONCLUSIONS At 2 years of follow-up, the use of standard RSA or BIO-RSA in an implant with an onlay 145° curved stem provided similar outcomes. The humeral lateralization alone is sufficient to decrease notching and to improve external rotation. BIO-RSA increases external rotation in patients between 50 and 65 years old. Glenoid bone graft in RSA has a high incorporation rate (completed in 90%).

Abstract
In shoulder osteoarthritis, the B2 glenoid presents challenges in treatment
because of the excessive retroversion and posterior deficiency of the glenoid.
Correction of retroversion and maintenance of a stable joint line with
well-fixed implants are essential for the successful treatment of this deformity
with arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty offers several key advantages
in achieving this goal, including favorable biomechanics, a well-fixed
baseplate, and proven success in other applications. Techniques such as
eccentric reaming, bone grafting, and baseplate augmentation allow surgeons to
tailor treatment to the patient’s altered anatomy. Eccentric reaming is favored
for correction of small defects or mild version anomalies. Current trends favor
bone grafting for larger corrections, though augmented components have shown
early promise with the potential for expanded use. With overall promising
results reported in the literature, reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a useful
tool for treating older patients with B2 glenoid deformities.

Abstract
The glenohumeral joint is a highly mobile, complex articulation that relies not only on the bony support between the humeral head and glenoid but also on appropriate balance and tension of the surrounding soft-tissue structures. Recreating the normal anatomic relationships is a basic premise in joint arthroplasty, which can be challenging in shoulder arthroplasty, as the normal glenohumeral anatomy has considerable variation from patient to patient. Also, as the anatomy of the glenohumeral joint becomes distorted with advanced shoulder pathology, it becomes a challenge to return the shoulder to its premorbid anatomic state. Failure to restore normal anatomic parameters after shoulder arthroplasty has been shown to have deleterious effects on postoperative function and implant survival. As the recognition of this has grown, shoulder prostheses have evolved to allow for considerable more variation in an attempt to recreate patient-specific anatomy. However, understanding the progression of shoulder pathology to better predict the patient's premorbid anatomy remains limited. A thorough understanding of the premorbid and pathologic anatomy of the glenohumeral joint will aid in preoperative planning and intraoperative execution and lead to a more predictable reconstruction of the shoulder, which is critical for a successful outcome after shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total shoulder arthroplasty remains an effective procedure for shoulder pain relief. Despite the negative effect of abnormal glenoid morphology and specifically retroverted and posteriorly subluxated glenoids, there is no consensus for management of B2 glenoids in total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes and complication rates for B2 glenoid techniques so as to provide a baseline understanding of the current state of treatment of this pathology. METHODS A systematic review evaluating outcomes of total shoulder arthroplasty with biconcave glenoids using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology included searches up to December 31, 2015, of PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Reviews, and Google Scholar. Nine articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS In this study, 239 total shoulder arthroplasties with B2 glenoids with a mean follow-up of 55.5 months (range, 24 to 91 months) were included. The mean patient age was 63.3 years (range, 55.8 to 68.7 years). Asymmetric reaming was performed in 127 glenoids, posterior bone-grafting was included in 53 glenoids, and 34 received an augmented glenoid component to correct glenoid retroversion and bone loss. Overall, the mean Constant and Neer scores improved from preoperative measures. Fifty-eight percent of patients had no loosening, and 42% had some loosening, although not all of these patients were symptomatic. Despite variation in outcome measures hindering treatment approach comparison, the posteriorly augmented glenoid was generally reported to provide better outcomes with few complications. Although posterior glenoid bone-grafting results in acceptable outcomes, it also represents the highest rate of complications. The revision rate was 15.6% for asymmetric reaming, 9.5% for posterior glenoid bone-grafting, and 0% for posteriorly augmented glenoids. CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment of the B2 glenoid remains a challenge to the shoulder surgeon, with worse outcomes and higher complication rates. Longer follow-up, consistent outcome measures, and result stratification based on glenoid type may allow for direct comparison in the future. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with posterior capsule plication (PCP) and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in patients with primary osteoarthritis, posterior subluxation, and bone loss (Walch B2). PATIENTS AND METHODS All shoulders undergoing anatomic TSA with PCP were retrospectively identified (group 1, G1) and compared to shoulders undergoing RSA (group 2, G2) for Walch B2 osteoarthritis. There were 15 patients in G1 (mean (SD) age and follow-up of 70.5 (7.5) years and 42.8 (18.4) months, respectively) and 16 patients in G2 (mean (SD) age and follow-up of 72.6 (5.4) years and 35.1 (14.2) months, respectively). RESULTS Both groups had substantial improvements in pain and function. In G1, results were excellent in 80% and satisfactory in 20%, compared to 81% and 6% in G2, respectively ( p = 0.2). The mean (SD) American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score was 91.2 (6.7) and 80.3 (14.3) in G1 and G2, respectively ( p = 0.08). The mean Simple Shoulder Test score was 10.6 in G1 and 8.5 in G2 ( p = 0.01). There were no reoperations in either group, but G1 had seven postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS The outcomes of TSA with PCP are comparable to RSA in patients with osteoarthritis and biconcave glenoids. However, TSA leads to more complications while RSA leads to lower functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ideal management of severe glenoid retroversion during anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains controversial, as previous reports have suggested that severe retroversion may negatively impact clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of severe glenoid retroversion on clinical and radiographic TSA outcomes using a standard glenoid component, as well as to compare outcomes among patients with less severe retroversion. METHODS A case-control study was performed comparing 40 patients treated with TSA with more than 20° of glenoid retroversion preoperatively (average follow-up, 53 months) vs. a matched cohort of 80 patients with less than 20° of retroversion (average follow-up, 49 months). In all patients, the surgical technique, implant design, and postoperative rehabilitation protocol were identical. Patients were matched based on sex, age, indication, and prosthetic size. Comparisons were made regarding patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), motion, postoperative radiographic loosening, and the presence of medial calcar resorption. RESULTS Preoperatively, both groups demonstrated similar PROMs and measured motion, except for preoperative Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons total scores, which were higher for the severe retroversion group (44.4 vs. 31.3 [P = .012] and 34.9 vs. 29.4 [P = .048], respectively). Postoperative PROMs and motion were also similar between the 2 cohorts. No significant differences were observed for postoperative radiographic findings. Medial calcar resorption was identified in 74 patients (61.7%). Calcar resorption and individual resorption grades were not found to differ significantly. CONCLUSION At midterm follow-up, preoperative severe glenoid retroversion does not appear to influence clinical or radiographic outcomes of TSA using a standard glenoid component.

Abstract
The B2 glenoid is defined by Walch et al. as a glenoid that is biconcave with posterior erosion accompanied by posterior humeral head subluxation. This creates unique challenges for the treating orthopedic surgeon. Bone loss, excessive retroversion, and posterior subluxation make anatomic shoulder arthroplasty in this setting fraught with increased complications, including instability, glenoid component loosening, and poor clinical outcomes. Many techniques have been devised to treat the arthritic shoulder with a B2 glenoid, including hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty using eccentric reaming, bone grafting and custom implantation, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. In this review, we will focus on anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty using augmented glenoid implants to treat the B2 glenoid. Indications, clinical results, and basic science analyses of augmented anatomic glenoids are also discussed.

Abstract
Background The biconcave (B2) glenoid is characterized by preservation of the anterior
portion of the native glenoid with asymmetric wear of the posterior glenoid.
Surgical options for glenoid correction have evolved. The goal of shoulder
arthroplasty is to place the implants in such a manner to return the humeral
head to a centered position and restore the joint line to a neutral
position. There is no current consensus on method of treatment and
correction. Methods The current and historical literature on total shoulder arthroplasty was used
to examine technique viability. Results Asymmetric remaining can be used to address up to 15° of version correction
without compromise of cortical bone. It is important to have the proper
presurgical planning, to understand the limitations of correction, and to
have other options available to treat the biconcave glenoid.

Treatment of severe glenoid deficiencies in reverse shoulder arthroplasty: the Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction System experience. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2019; 28:1601-1608. [PMID: 30770317 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2018.11.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2018] [Revised: 11/14/2018] [Accepted: 11/19/2018] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of glenoid bone deficiencies in primary or revision total shoulder arthroplasty is challenging. This retrospective study evaluated the short-term clinical and radiologic results of a new custom-made patient-specific glenoid implant. METHODS We treated 10 patients with severe glenoid deficiencies with the Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction System (Materialise NV, Leuven, Belgium). Outcome data included a patient-derived Constant-Murley score, a visual analog score (VAS), a satisfaction score, the 11-item version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, and the Simple Shoulder Test. We compared the postoperative position of the implant with the preoperative planned position on computed tomography scans. RESULTS At an average follow-up period of 30.5 months, the mean patient-derived Constant-Murley score was 41.3 ± 17.5 points (range, 18-76 points) with a visual analog scale of 3.3 ± 2.5 points (range, 0-7 points). The mean 11-item version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score was 35.8 ± 18.4 (range, 2-71), and the mean Simple Shoulder Test was 47.5% ± 25.3% (range, 8%-92%). Eight patients reported the result as better (n = 3) or much better (n = 5). One patient had an elongation of the brachial plexus, and 1 patient had a period of instability. The average preoperative glenoid defect size was 9 ± 4 cm3 (range, 1-14 cm3). The mean deviation between the preoperative planned and the postoperative version and inclination was 6° ± 4° (range 1°-16°) and 4° ± 4° (range 0°-11°), respectively. CONCLUSION Early results of the Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction System are encouraging. Adequate pain relief, a reasonable functionality, and good patient satisfaction can be obtained in these difficult cases. Further follow-up will determine the bony ingrowth and subsequent longevity of this patient-specific glenoid component.

A new geometric model to quantify the area of glenoid bone defect and medialisation of the native joint line in glenohumeral arthritis. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2019; 29:1211-1216. [PMID: 30915555 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-019-02422-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2019] [Accepted: 03/22/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To propose a geometric model to quantify the bone defect and the glenoid medialisation (in millimetres) compared to the native joint line. We also evaluated the reliability of this geometric model. METHODS Using two-dimensional CT imaging, we built a hypothetical triangle on the axial scan consisting of the following: side A, length (millimetres) of the glenoid bone; side B, average length (millimetres) of the glenoid in a healthy population; side C, the missing side; and angle α, the retroversion angle calculated using the Friedman method. The resulting triangle represents the bone defect, and its height represents the medialisation of the native joint line. To estimate inter-operator reliability, two physicians (operator 1 and operator 2) took the following measurements: angle α, side A, side C, semi-perimeter, area defect and height. RESULTS Forty participants (mean age ± SD 45 ± 10 years, range 26-43 years)-22 women and 18 men-participated in the study. We applied the cosine theorem (Carnot theorem) to calculate side C. After obtaining the three sides, the area of the triangle can be determined. Once the area is known, it is possible to extrapolate the height of the triangle, which corresponds to the loss of vault depth due to the bone defect. With respect to inter-operator reliability, the ICCs for all measurements were > 0.99, exhibiting a very high correlation. CONCLUSIONS The proposed geometric model can be used to quantify the glenoid bone deficit and the glenoid medialisation compared to the native joint line, which can be used to improve surgical treatment.

Abstract
Background Glenoid loosening and instability are among the most common complications after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), resulting in poor function. Posterior instability is one contributing factor. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a series of patients treated with posterior capsule plication for intraoperative posterior instability during TSA. It is hypothesized that patients undergoing this procedure will have improvement in posterior stability intraoperatively while not limiting their ROM postoperatively. Methods Patients of the senior author were identified who had undergone TSA with posterior capsule plication from 2014 to 2015 based on Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Their records and preoperative radiographs were retrospectively reviewed for demographic data and preoperative range of motion (ROM) which was documented in the clinic notes. Patients were then evaluated postoperatively to determine the outcomes after TSA with posterior capsule plication. Final follow-up was conducted via telephone survey. Results Nineteen patients were identified for review; however, only 14 had all imaging available. The mean age at the time of surgery was 63 years. There were 2 A1, 6 B1, and 6 B2 Walch-type glenoids based on preoperative imaging. All but one had equivalent or better ROM for active forward elevation and external rotation postoperatively. One patient required return to operating room at 5 months after developing adhesive capsulitis. Conclusion This study indicates that the use of posterior capsule plication during TSA is a safe method to address posterior subluxation, while still allowing for improved ROM postoperatively.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2018; 27:1656-1663.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the biomechanical effects and potential advantages of glenoid implants with adaptable backside curvature radii and compared them with standard implants having fixed backside curvatures in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) for primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis with uniconcave glenoids. METHODS A glenoid implant with adaptable backside curvatures (Aequalis PerFORM, Tornier SAS, Montbonnot, France) was compared with its previous model having a fixed curvature radius. Virtual aTSAs were performed in 24 patients from preoperative shoulder computed tomography data sets, using both implants in each patient. For all 48 simulated aTSAs, we first measured the glenoid bone reaming depth, subchondral bone quality after reaming, and implant backside surface and then the predicted cement stress, bone-cement interfacial stress, and bone strain at 60° of arm abduction. These biomechanical quantities were tested for differences between adaptable and fixed implants and for correlations between preoperative measurements and postoperative predictions. RESULTS Adaptable glenoid implants induced a significant decrease in cement stress (P = .008), bone-cement interfacial stress (P = .045), and bone strain (P = .039), particularly for glenoids with curvature radii larger than 40 mm. However, these biomechanical effects were not significantly correlated with an increase in subchondral glenoid bone quality. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms the presumed biomechanical advantages of adaptable glenoid implants, even though the effects were not directly due to the adaptation of the backside curvature radius. Benefits were more pronounced for glenoids with large curvature radii. Our initial biomechanical findings should now be corroborated with large-scale clinical studies.
