Abstract
The concept of stemless shoulder arthroplasty was born in 2005. It is now a valid option in the context of either anatomical or reverse shoulder replacement. Several questions have come up over our 15 years of using this system: How was the stemless shoulder arthroplasty concept born? It was motivated by a desire to have epiphyso-metaphyseal fixation using a corolla-shaped impacted anchor design. What are the features of commercially available stemless shoulder arthroplasty implants? The stemless anatomical implants now available have either a cage or central peg that is impacted or a system that is screwed into the epiphysometaphyseal bone. Several companies have introduced stemless reverse implants, some of which have an onlay configuration. How do the results of stemless implants compare to those of traditional stemmed implants? At a mean follow-up of 10 years, the outcomes of stemless TSA can be superimposed with those of traditional stemmed TSA. What are the advantages of stemless shoulder implants? The advantages are their simple implantation, ability to adapt to patient morphology and any malunions, various orientation angles, no stress-shielding, reduced risk of infection and bleeding and less complex revision surgery (if needed). What are the limitations or drawbacks of using stemless implants? The two main limitations are insufficient metaphyseal bone stock and poor bone quality, especially for reverse configurations. What does the future hold for stemless shoulder arthroplasty? Like with traditional stemmed implants, the longevity of stemless shoulder arthroplasty depends on its tribology, which can still be improved. In the future, a stemless implant will need to be convertible like stemmed humeral implants, and if possible, provide an inlay reverse configuration.

Abstract
Background Finite element analysis has suggested that stemless implants may theoretically decrease stress shielding. The purpose of this study was to assess the radiographic proximal humeral bone adaptations seen following stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Methods A retrospective review of 152 prospectively followed stemless total shoulder arthroplasty utilizing a single implant design was performed. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were reviewed at standard time points. Stress shielding was graded as mild, moderate, and severe. The effect of stress shielding on clinical and functional outcomes was assessed. Also, the influence of subscapularis management on the occurrence of stress shielding was determined. Results At 2 years postoperatively, stress shielding was noted in 61 (41%) shoulders. A total of 11 (7%) shoulders demonstrated severe stress shielding with 6 occurring along the medial calcar. There was one instance of greater tuberosity resorption. At the final follow-up, no humeral implants were radiographically loose or migrated. There was no statistically significant difference in clinical and functional outcomes between shoulders with and without stress shielding. Patients undergoing a lesser tuberosity osteotomy had lower rates of stress shielding, which was statistically significant (p = 0.021). Discussion Stress shielding does occur at higher rates than anticipated following stemless total shoulder arthroplasty, but was not associated with implant migration or failure at 2 years follow-up. Level of evidence IV, Case series.

Abstract
Background Stemless shoulder arthroplasty using 4 open-fin press-fit anchors has been showing promising short-term clinical and radiographic results for patients' primary osteoarthritis. This prospective, multicenter study presents 5-year postoperative clinical and radiological outcomes of a stemless shoulder arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis. Methods Between November 2012 and December 2015, 100 patients were treated for primary osteoarthritis with the Sidus stem-free shoulder system at 7 European centers. Clinical assessment included the Constant-Murley Score, American Shoulder and Elbow Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form score, Subjective Shoulder Value, and range of motion. True anteroposterior, axial and lateral radiographs were reviewed for osteolysis, glenoid and humerus loosening, heterotopic ossification, radiolucent lines, component migration and humeral bone resorption. In addition to a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, a comparative analysis between total shoulder arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty was performed. Results Seventy-one patients (36 females) with a mean age of 63.8 years (range: 47-79 years) were available for the 5-year clinical and radiographic follow-up (range: 52-79 months). There was a significant increase (P < .0001) in all outcome scores compared to baseline values. Patients with total shoulder arthroplasty (n = 48) achieved significantly better functional outcome than patients with shoulder hemiarthroplasty (n = 23) with regard to the absolute and relative Constant-Murley Score, American Shoulder and Elbow Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form score, and Subjective Shoulder Value as well as greater abduction strength and range of motion in forward elevation and external rotation (P ≤ .004). There were no cases of osteolysis or humeral loosening. There were some cases of heterotopic ossification (1.4%), radiolucency around the humerus (1.4%) or glenoid (25%), glenoid migration (2.1%), inferior osteophytes (1.4%) or humerus bone resorption (9.9%). The 5-year survival was 94%. Conclusion Patients treated with the Sidus stem-free shoulder system for primary osteoarthritis continue to achieve good clinical and radiographic results without any signs of aseptic humeral implant loosening at 5 years postsurgery.

Baumgarten KM. Can the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) be used as a stand-alone outcome instrument in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty? J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 31:e426-e435. [PMID: 35413432 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.02.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Revised: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS There is no consensus as to which patient-determined shoulder outcome scores should be considered when analyzing patient outcomes for either clinical or research purposes. Use of multiple patient-determined outcomes may be redundant and cause increased responder burden. To date, the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) has not been widely accepted as a stand-alone shoulder-specific outcome measure. The hypothesis of this study was that the SANE would correlate with and be equal or superior in responsiveness to other outcome measures that have been used in a stand-alone fashion in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons [ASES], Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder [WOOS], and Simple Shoulder Test [SST] scores). In addition, it was hypothesized that the SANE would be more relevant to each patient than the ASES assessment, further supporting the use of the SANE as a stand-alone shoulder-specific outcome measure. METHODS A retrospective review of a database of patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty was performed, in which the SANE score was recorded simultaneously with the ASES, WOOS, and/or SST score. Correlations were determined using the Pearson coefficient. Subgroup analysis was performed to determine whether correlations differed in (1) preoperative outcome and (2) postoperative outcome determinations. Responsiveness was determined by calculating the standardized response mean and the effect size of all scores. The relevance of the SANE and ASES assessments was examined using the scores of 150 consecutive patients to determine the number of questions on each assessment that were not answered. RESULTS Correlation was excellent for the SANE score and the ASES score (n = 1447, r = 0.82, P < .0001), WOOS score (n = 1514, r = 0.83, P < .0001), and SST score (n = 1095, r = 0.81, P < .0001). The correlation of preoperative scores was moderate and that of postoperative scores was strong-moderate when the SANE score was compared with all 3 other scores. All scores were highly responsive, with standardized response mean values of 2.2 for the SANE score, 2.3 for the ASES score, 1.4 for the WOOS score, and 1.6 for the SST score. The effect size of the SANE score was 2.9; ASES score, 2.9; WOOS score, 2.9; and SST score, 2.3. One hundred percent of the SANE questions were answered completely compared with 61% of the ASES questions (P < .0001). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty, the SANE score highly correlated with the WOOS, ASES, and SST scores, which have been used as stand-alone shoulder-specific outcome measures. The SANE score may provide the same information as the WOOS, ASES, and SST score regarding outcomes with a significant reduction in responder burden. It is logical that the SANE can be used as a stand-alone instrument for patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
Innovations currently available with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty include shorter stem designs and augmented/inset/inlay glenoid components. Regarding reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), metal augmentation, including custom augments, on both the glenoid and humeral side have expanded indications in cases of bone loss. In the setting of revision arthroplasty, humeral options include convertible stems and newer tools to improve humeral implant removal. New strategies for treatment and surgical techniques have been developed for recalcitrant shoulder instability, acromial fractures, and infections after RSA. Finally, computer planning, navigation, PSI, and augmented reality are imaging options now available that have redefined preoperative planning and indications as well intraoperative component placement. This review covers many of the innovations in the realm of shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background In an anatomic shoulder replacement (aTSR) good results have been reported with the use of a stemless humeral prosthesis. In vitro a ceramic articulation with polyethylene has been shown to produce less polyethylene wear particles than with metal. This study aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic results of a stemless aTSR with a ceramic head articulating with a polyethylene glenoid component, with mid-term follow-up. Methods All patients (n = 92) in this prospective study had an aTSR utilizing a stemless humeral component with a ceramic head and a cemented double pegged cemented polyethylene glenoid component for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Pre- and postoperative clinical evaluations at 2 years were performed using the ASES score, Constant score, SPADI score, DASH score, VAS pain score, patient satisfaction and range of motion. There was a 5-year evaluation of SPADI, ASES, pain, and satisfaction, plus radiographic assessment of glenoid component radiolucent lines and humeral osteolysis. Results Seventy-four cases (68.1 ± 7.1 years) had a five-year follow-up and demonstrated active elevation improvement from 91.3° preoperatively to 151.1° (p < 0.001). Further improvement was identified with the ASES from 41.6 to 94.3, the SPADI from 62.9 to 4.3, VAS pain from 5.6 to 0.4 (0–10), and satisfaction levels were at 96%. Sixty-two cases had no glenoid radiolucent lines with a maximum Lazarus score of 2 in one patient. Constant scores, available up to 2 years, improved significantly from 30.3 to 77.9 (p < 0.001). There was one case that required revision for glenoid loosening. Conclusions Overall, the 5-year results of this ceramic head prosthesis demonstrated good radiographic and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Based on peer-reviewed systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials published between January 2000 and June 2019 with regards to the management of glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis (GJO), the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) established the clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of GJO. The guidelines provided practice recommendations including risk factors, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, prosthesis selection, and perioperative management for GJO. The recommendations were graded according to different evidence strength. This paper interprets the guidline in order to provide reference for domestic medical workers.

Abstract
Background Since the introduction of stemless anatomic shoulder arthroplasty, many studies have been published on anatomic implants. For reverse stemless implants, however, there are only a few clinical follow-up studies available. The current clinical case series aims to present clinical and radiological outcomes of a new stemless reverse prosthesis system (Lima Shoulder Modular Replacement stemless). Methods We prospectively evaluated the outcome of 56 stemless total shoulder arthroplasties in 56 patients with a mean age of 61.2 years (46-76 years) at the time of implantation at a minimum follow-up of 24 months (range 24-41 months). All patients were physically and radiologically examined. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by using the Constant-Murley Score and the Subjective Shoulder Value. Results The mean Subjective Shoulder Value was 84.27% at the latest follow-up. Significant improvements from preoperative to latest follow-up were documented for Constant-Murley Score (34.9 pts to 74.43 pts, P < .001) and active range of motion (abduction 72° to 130°, flexion 36° to 138°, and external rotation 16°to 28°). There was one complete loosening of the humeral component without reoperation. Radiolucency lines were observed in anteroposterior or axial radiographs at the humeral component in 23% of the cases, most of them in anteroposterior view at the calcar region. Radiolucency line findings did not affect clinical outcomes. Major complications or revisions did not occur so far. Conclusion At short-term follow-up, stemless reverse shoulder systems show comparable clinical and radiological outcomes compared to stemmed reverse implants in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the introduction of stemless anatomic shoulder arthroplasty, few midterm functional and radiographic results have been published. This article presents results of the Arthrex Eclipse prosthesis with a mean follow-up of 70 months. METHODS We prospectively evaluated the outcome of 53 arthroplasties in 51 patients with a mean age of 65 years at the time of implantation with a minimum follow-up of 48 months. All patients were physically and radiologically examined, and the results documented by Constant-Murley and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) scores. RESULTS Significant improvements from preoperative to last follow-up were documented in the Constant-Murley score (53.8%-83.5%, P < .001) and active range of motion (abduction 84°-108°, flexion 98°-125°, and external rotation 19°-41°). There was no significant difference between total and hemiarthroplasty. The mean DASH score was 28.3 points (95% confidence interval 20.1-35.2). Lowering of bone mineral density was observed in anteroposterior radiographs at the humeral component in 24.5% and at the glenoid component in 33.3%. The rate of complications was 15.7%. CONCLUSION This study finds improvements in functional, radiographic, and subjective midterm results comparable to other accessible data for stemless and stemmed arthroplasty.

Abstract
Introduction: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is the replacement of the humeral head and glenoid surfaces with the goal of replicating normal anatomy. It is commonly utilized for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteonecrosis, who have decreased range of motion (ROM), persistent pain, and loss of strength. Total shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) is the third most common joint replacement in the United States. The incidence of TSA has been increasing, some data suggest that by the year 2025, TSA incidence may rise to 439,206 operations per year. In recent years, stemless total shoulder implants have become available. Results: These implants preserve bone stock while decreasing complications such as osteolysis, stress shielding and periprosthetic fracture. Stemless implants improve anatomic reconstruction and biomechanical function of the shoulder joint. Conclusion: Increasing amounts of data suggest stemless TSA to be a safe and effective technology that will become more common in the coming year.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early reports of stemless shoulder arthroplasty have shown promising clinical and radiological outcomes. The purpose of this study was to report on the mid-term results of an implant that utilises a ceramic humeral head. METHODS A prospective, consecutive, multicentre study of stemless shoulder prosthesis with a minimum of four years of follow-up was conducted between August 2009 and May 2012. The adjusted Constant-Murley Score (CMS), revision rate and presence of radiolucent lines were recorded at intervals. RESULTS A total of 207 patients were eligible for study inclusion; 62.8% were female and mean age was 64.8 years (range 30-86). Mean follow-up was 70.7 months (range 48-100), 73% underwent TSA and 27% hemiarthroplasty. The mean CMS improvement was 42.6 (p < 0.0001) at 48 months. Radiolucencies were present in 2.7% of humeral zones and 14% of glenoid zones at 48-month follow-up. The revision rate was 6.3% with rotator cuff failure (2.9%) the most common indication. CONCLUSIONS Mid-term results demonstrate that the studied stemless implant with a ceramic humeral head had clinical and radiological outcomes that are comparable to other reported studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint and other degenerative shoulder diseases. It has several proposed advantages over stemmed TSA including increased bone preservation, decreased operative time, and easier removal at revision. METHODS A systematic search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) to retrieve all relevant studies. RESULTS The literature search yielded 1417 studies, of which 22 were included in this review, with 962 patients undergoing stemless TSA. Stemless TSA led to significant improvements in range of motion and functional scores in all included studies. Meta-analysis of comparative studies between stemless and stemmed TSA identified no significant differences in postoperative Constant scores (mean difference [MD], 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], -3.29 to 5.81 points; P = .59) or complication rates (odds ratio, 1.79; 95% CI, 0.71-4.54; P = .22). Stemless TSA resulted in a significantly shorter operative time compared with stemmed TSA (MD, -15.03 minutes; 95% CI, -23.79 to -6.26 minutes; P = .0008). Stemless TSA also resulted in significantly decreased intraoperative blood loss compared with stemmed TSA (MD, -96.95 mL; 95% CI, -148.53 to -45.36 mL; P = .0002). CONCLUSION Stemless anatomic TSA resulted in similar functional outcomes and complication rates to stemmed TSA with decreased operative time and lower blood loss. Further research is required to investigate the long-term durability of the stemless implant.

Bone mineral density, mechanical properties, and trabecular orientation of cancellous bone within humeral heads affected by advanced shoulder arthropathy. J Orthop Res 2020; 38:1914-1919. [PMID: 32073163 PMCID: PMC7496343 DOI: 10.1002/jor.24633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Revised: 12/16/2019] [Accepted: 02/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The mechanical properties of cancellous bone in the humeral head are increasingly interesting due to the increased popularity of stemless prosthetic fixation in the cancellous bone of the metaphysis. Age or pathology-related systemic osteoporosis, inactivity, or pathology of the shoulder joint may influence the primary bonding of implants that rely on good cancellous bone quality. We assessed the bone mineral density (BMD) and anisotropy using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) (0.04 mm voxel size) and correlated the results with indentation load/displacement response. Resected parts of humeral heads (from patients undergoing total shoulder replacement, n = 18) were used as probes. The region of interest was defined as 2 mm medial from the resection plane, presuming that it mirrored the bone quality lateral to the resection plane. The indentation tests were performed with a large probe (diameter 10 mm) in a single destructive loading procedure. The BMD and trabecular orientation were determined by micro-CT. Our results showed a correlation between the BMD and the slope of the load/displacement curve. Furthermore, the trabeculae were predominantly oriented orthogonal to the joint surface. In conclusion, the predominant factor determining the bone quality and mechanical resistance to pressure appears to be the BMD, while trabecular orientation could not be related to load/displacement response. Statement of clinical significance: Bone quality predominately determines the mechanical properties of cancellous bone. This might be crucial when prosthetic implants need to be anchored in metaphyseal bone. Therefore, clinical decision-making processes should also include local BMD measurements.

Primary stability analysis of stemless shoulder implants. Med Eng Phys 2020; 81:22-29. [PMID: 32507674 DOI: 10.1016/j.medengphy.2020.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Although the primary stability of joint implants is fundamental for successful osseointegration, little is know about this issue in the context of stemless shoulder implants. Considering 3D finite element models, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the primary stability of five stemless designs, based on the Sidus, SMR, Simpliciti, Eclipse, and Global Icon stemless systems. Three alternative bone quality conditions were considered for cancellous bone. For the Sidus, SMR, and Simpliciti designs, which do not possess a collar that sits on the cortical rim of the humeral resected surface, contact and no contact conditions were considered between the bone surface and the humeral head components. Micromotions at bone-implant interfaces promoting osseointegration were computed as a measure of primary stability for eight load cases consisting of peak in vivo joint loads measured during selected upper limb activities. Under good bone quality conditions, all stemless designs presented micromotions below 150 μm. The Eclipse-based and Global-Icon based designs were the least sensitive to bone quality. Stemless designs presenting a solid collar or contact between the humeral head component and bone provided more stability. Overall, the Eclipse-based and Global Icon-based designs presented the best performance from the primary stability point of view. However, if bone adaptation data available in the literature are considered along with the primary stability data computed here, the Global Icon-based design, as well as other designs, might be considered superior long-term options due to their better compromise between primary stability and impact on bone adaptation.

Screw fixation in stemless shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of primary osteoarthritis leads to less osteolysis when compared to impaction fixation. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2020; 21:295. [PMID: 32398035 PMCID: PMC7218655 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-020-03277-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2019] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Stemless total shoulder arthroplasty is a well-established and reliable surgical treatment option for glenohumeral osteoarthritis resulting in loss of pain and improvement of shoulder function. Currently the two methods for the fixation of the humeral component are either screw fixation or impaction. The purpose of this study is the clinical and radiological comparison of two different stemless designs (screw fixation vs impaction) for total shoulder arthroplasties in patients suffering from primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Methods A retrospective cohort study including 39 patients with a mean age of 67 years and a minimum follow-up of 2 years was performed. Patients were separated into two groups based on the selected implant. In group A (n = 18) a screw fixation design and in group B (n = 21) an impaction type design was used. For clinical examination the Constant-Murley-Score (CS) and Subjective-Shoulder-Value (SSV) were evaluated. Radiological examination was performed on true-AP, axial and Y-view radiographs. Results In group A the CS increased from 27.1 to 65.2 points and SSV from 27.3 to 76.7% (p > 0.05). No osteolysis of the medial calcar or subsidence of the humeral implant were found in this group. In group B the CS increased from 29.0 to 72.6 points and SSV from 33.1 to 85% (p < 0.05). Osteolysis of the medial calcar was present in seven patients in this group. No signs for humeral loosening were found in both groups. Conclusion Impaction and screw fixation total shoulder arthroplasty for primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis using a stemless device provide reliable clinical results. The screw fixation seems to prevent osteolysis of the medial calcar.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this multicenter, prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a stemless total shoulder arthroplasty compared with a traditional stemmed control. Methods Ninety-five shoulders were selected for participation in this Food and Drug Administration investigational device exemption clinical trial and underwent stemless total shoulder arthroplasty. Subjects returned for follow-up at 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 2 years postoperatively. Outcome measures included pain; range of motion; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder, and Short Form 12 scores; and radiographic review. Baseline data were compared with 2-year follow-up data to determine the rate of composite clinical success compared with the stemmed control. Results All outcome assessments demonstrated significant improvements (P ≤ .007). The mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score improved from 20 to 89 (P < .0001), and the mean shoulder pain score decreased from 8.3 ± 1.6 to 0.7 ± 1.5 (P < .0001). The mean Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder score decreased from 1443 ± 256 to 203 ± 267 (P < .0001). On the Short Form 12, the mean physical health score increased from 33 ± 7 to 48 ± 9 (P < .0001) and the mean mental health score increased from 50 ± 13 to 54 ± 8 (P = .007). Mean active forward elevation increased from 97° ± 27° to 143° ± 25° (P < .0001), and mean active external rotation increased from 21° ± 16° to 53° ± 18° (P < .0001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed an implant survivorship rate of 98% at 2 years. The composite clinical success rate was 87% compared with 85% for the stemmed control. Conclusions This study showed that a stemless rough-blasted humeral implant with metaphyseal bone fixation provides good clinical and radiographic outcomes and survivorship at 2 years, with outcomes comparable to a traditional stemmed implant.

Prearthroplasty glenohumeral pathoanatomy and its relationship to patient's sex, age, diagnosis, and self-assessed shoulder comfort and function. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2019; 28:2290-2300. [PMID: 31311749 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2019.04.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is great current interest in characterizing the prearthroplasty glenohumeral pathoanatomy because of its role in guiding surgical technique and its possible effects on arthroplasty outcome. METHODS We examined 544 patients within 6 weeks before arthroplasty with the goals of characterizing the following: demographic and radiographic characteristics; relationships of the radiographic pathoanatomy to the patient's age, sex, and diagnosis; inter-relationships among glenoid type, glenoid version, and amount of decentering of the humeral head on the glenoid; and relationships of the pathoanatomy to the patient's self-assessed comfort and function. RESULTS Male patients had a higher frequency of B2 glenoids and a lower frequency of A2 glenoids. The arthritic shoulders of men were more retroverted and had greater amounts of posterior decentering. Patients with types A1 and C glenoids were younger than those with other glenoid types. Shoulders with osteoarthritis were more likely to be type B2 and to be retroverted. Types B2 and C had the greatest degree of retroversion, whereas types B1 and B2 had the greatest amounts of posterior decentering. Shoulders with glenoid types B1 and B2 and those with more decentering did not have worse self-assessed shoulder comfort and function. CONCLUSIONS Glenohumeral pathoanatomy was found to have previously unreported relationships to the patient's sex, age, and diagnosis. Contrary to what might have been expected, more advanced glenohumeral pathoanatomy (ie, type B glenoids, greater retroversion, greater decentering) was not associated with worse self-assessed shoulder comfort and function.

Bone adaptation impact of stemless shoulder implants: a computational analysis. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2019; 28:1886-1896.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite stemless implants showing promising functional and radiologic clinical outcomes, concerning signs of complications, such as bone resorption, have been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of 5 stemless designs on the bone adaptation process of the humerus. METHODS Three-dimensional finite element models of shoulder arthroplasties were developed considering stemless designs based on the Eclipse, Global Icon, SMR, Simpliciti, and Sidus stemless systems. For the designs not possessing a collar that covers the entire resected surface of the humerus, conditions of contact and no contact were simulated between the humeral head components and the bone surface. By use of a bone remodeling model, computational simulations were performed considering 6 load cases of standard shoulder movements. The bone adaptation process was evaluated by comparing differences in bone density between the implanted models and the intact model of the humerus. RESULTS Overall, the design of the stemless implants had a relevant impact on the bone adaptation process of the humerus. The Eclipse-based design caused the largest bone mass loss, whereas the SMR-based design caused the least. When contact was simulated between the humeral head components of the SMR-, Simpliciti-, and Sidus-based designs and the resected bone surface, bone resorption increased. DISCUSSION Considering only the bone adaptation process, the results suggest that the SMR-based implant presents the best performance and that contact between the humeral head component and the resected bone surface should be avoided. However, because other factors must be considered, further investigation is necessary to allow definite recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether subscapularis management technique has an influence on the outcomes and complications of stemless total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to compare outcomes and complications between subscapularis tenotomy, peel, and lesser tuberosity osteotomy used during stemless shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS We reviewed 188 stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties and compared clinical and functional outcomes between those performed through a subscapularis tenotomy (n = 68), subscapularis peel (n = 65), or lesser tuberosity osteotomy (n = 55). Patients were followed up clinically and radiographically at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS At 2 years postoperatively, no statistically significant differences in visual analog scale pain scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, or patient-reported instability (P ≥ .19) were found between groups. Active external rotation was greater in the peel group (P = .006) than in the tenotomy group but was not different compared with the lesser tuberosity osteotomy group (P = .07). No statistically significant difference in clinical subscapularis failures was noted between groups (P = .11); however, 2 patients in the peel group sustained a subscapularis failure requiring reoperation. DISCUSSION The results of this multicenter comparative analysis show that all 3 subscapularis management techniques are effective and safe in the short term when used with stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background The number of anatomic total shoulder (TSA), hemiarthroplasty (HA), and reverse total shoulder arthroplasties (RTSA) is rapidly increasing in the United States. Stemless shoulder arthroplasty has numerous theoretical advantages, including preserved bone stock, decreased operating time, reduced rate of intraoperative humerus fracture, and flexibility of anatomic reconstruction. Only recently studies with more than 5 years of mean follow-up have become available. Methods The MEDLINE database was systematically queried to identify all studies reporting outcomes regarding anatomic or reverse stemless shoulder arthroplasty. Studies were categorized according to mean reported follow-up. Outcome scores and range of motion measurements were compiled. Complication and revision rates due to failure of the humeral or glenoid components were summarized. Results Nineteen TSA and HA studies with a total of 1115 patients were identified, with 4 studies and 162 patients with a mean follow-up between 60 and 120 months. Six RTSA studies with a total of 346 patients were identified, all with a mean follow-up between 18 and 60 months. There was a reliable improvement in outcomes compared with preoperative scores across studies. A cumulative 0.7% (8 of 1115) humeral component complication rate was found for TSA and HA components. There was a cumulative 1.7% (6 of 346) humeral complication rate for RTSA prostheses. Conclusions In the studies reporting similar outcome measures, there were reliable improvements on par with stemmed counterparts. Aggregate complication rates appear similar to those published in the literature for stemmed components. Evidence supporting the utility and safety of stemless designs would be strengthened by longer-term follow-up and additional prospective comparative studies.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2019; 28:1578-1586.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term survival rate of total stemless, metaphyseal fixated, shoulder arthroplasty with that of total stemmed shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of osteoarthritis. METHODS Data were collected by the national arthroplasty registries in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden and merged into 1 dataset under the umbrella of the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association. For the present study, we included all patients with osteoarthritis treated with either stemless (n = 761) or stemmed (n = 4398) shoulder arthroplasty from 2011 to 2016. RESULTS A total of 21 (2.8%) stemless and 116 (2.6%) stemmed shoulder arthroplasties were revised. The 6-year unadjusted cumulative survival rates were 0.953 for stemless shoulder arthroplasty and 0.958 for stemmed shoulder arthroplasty, P = .77. The most common indication for revision of both arthroplasty types was infection. Five (0.7%) stemless and 16 (0.4%) stemmed shoulder arthroplasties were revised because of loosening of either the glenoid or the humeral component. In the multivariate cox regression model, which included age, category, gender, year of surgery, previous surgery, and arthroplasty type, the hazard ratio (HR) for revision of the stemless shoulder arthroplasty was 1.00 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63-1.61), P = .99, with the stemmed shoulder arthroplasty as reference. Male gender (HR = 1.50 [95% CI, 1.06-2.13], P = .02) and previous surgery (HR = 2.70 [95% CI, 1.82-4.01], P < .001) were associated with increased risk of revision. CONCLUSION The short-term survival of total stemless shoulder arthroplasty appears comparable with total stemmed shoulder arthroplasty, but longer observation time is needed to confirm whether they continue to perform equally.
