Abstract
BACKGROUND Reports on long term outcomes and failures of shoulder arthroplasty are uncommon. The purpose of this study is to present minimum 10-year outcomes in consecutive patients undergoing ream-and-run and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) for primary glenohumeral arthritis. METHODS This study analyzed consecutive patients who had undergone a ream-and-run or TSA with minimum 10-year follow-up. Pain scores and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) values were obtained preoperatively and at a minimum of 10 years postoperatively via e-mail or mail-in response. Percentage of maximum possible improvement (%MPI) was also calculated. RESULTS Of 127 eligible patients, 63 (50%) responded to a 10-year survey. This included 34 patients undergoing ream-and-run arthroplasty and 29 patients undergoing TSA. The ream-and-run patients were significantly younger than the TSA patients (60 ± 7 vs. 68 ± 8, P < .001), predominantly male (97% vs. 41%, P < .001), and had a lower American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (P = .018). In the ream-and-run group, the mean pain score improved from a preoperative value of 6.5 ± 1.9 to 0.9 ± 1.3 (P < .001), and the mean SST score improved from 5.4 ± 2.4 to 10.3 ± 2.1 at 10-year follow-up (P < .001). Twenty-eight (82%) achieved an SST improvement above the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) of 2.6. Four patients (12%) underwent single-stage exchange to another hemiarthroplasty, whereas 1 (3%) required manipulation under anesthesia. In the TSA group, the pain score improved from a preoperative value of 6.6 ± 2.2 to 1.2 ± 2.3 (P < .001), and the SST score improved from 3.8 ± 2.6 to 8.9 ± 2.6 at 10-year follow-up (P < .001). Of the 29 patients who underwent a TSA, 27 (93%) achieved an SST improvement above the MCID of 1.6. No patient in the TSA group required reoperation. CONCLUSION Although the characteristics of the patients differ between the 2 groups, excellent functional results can be obtained with the ream-and-run arthroplasty and TSA for glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

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.

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
BACKGROUND Glenoid bone loss in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) remains a controversial and challenging clinical problem. Previous studies have shown high rates of glenoid loosening for aTSA in shoulders with retroversion, posterior bone loss, and posterior humeral head subluxation. This study is the first to present minimum 2-year follow-up data of an all-polyethylene, biconvex augmented anatomic glenoid component for correction of glenoid retroversion and posterior humeral head subluxation. METHODS This study is a multicenter, retrospective review of prospectively collected data on consecutive patients from 7 global clinical sites. All patients underwent aTSA using the biconvex posterior augmented glenoid (PAG). Inclusion criteria were preoperative computed tomographic (CT) scan, minimum 2 years since surgery, preoperative and minimum 2-year postoperative range of motion examination, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Glenoid classification, glenoid retroversion, and posterior humeral head subluxation were measured from preoperative CT and radiography and postoperative radiography. Statistical comparisons between pre- and postoperative values were performed with a paired t test. RESULTS Eighty-six of 110 consecutive patients during the study period (78% follow-up) met the inclusion criteria and were included in our analysis. Mean follow-up was 35 ± 10 months, with a mean age of 68 ± 8 years (range 48-85). Range of motion statistically improved in all planes from pre- to postoperation. Mean visual analog scale score improved from 5.2 preoperation to 0.7 postoperation, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score from 43.2 to 89.5, Constant score from 41.8 to 76.9, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form score from 49.8 to 86.7 (all P < .0001). Mean glenoid retroversion improved from 19.3° to 7.4° (P < .0001). Posterior subluxation improved from 69.1% to 53.5% and posterior decentering improved from 5.8% to -3.0% (P < .0001). There was 1 patient with both a prosthetic joint infection and radiographic glenoid loosening that required revision. Seventy-nine of 86 patients had a Lazarus score of 0 (no radiolucency seen about peg or keel) at final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that at minimum 2-year follow-up, a posterior-augmented all-polyethylene glenoid can correct glenoid retroversion and posterior humeral head subluxation. Clinically, there was significant improvement in both range of motion and PROMs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In cases of severe osteoarthritis, posterior glenoid wear leads to acquired retroversion of the glenoid. Surgical treatment of glenoids with acquired retroversion and posterior humeral subluxation with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) is controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine mid- to long-term outcomes and reoperation rates of augmented and nonaugmented aTSA for treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis with Walch B3 glenoid deformity. METHODS This observational cohort study reviewed patients with a Walch B3 glenoid undergoing aTSA at a single institution between 2007 and 2014. Patients were contacted to complete updated patient-reported outcome measures at a minimum of 6 years postoperatively. Outcome measures collected included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES) score and Single Alpha Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score. Secondary outcomes included any additional surgery on the operative shoulder, patient satisfaction, and willingness to undergo aTSA again. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients met inclusion criteria, and thirty-five (89.7%) were able to be contacted for final outcomes evaluation. Mean follow-up was 8.7 years (range 6-13) after surgery. Sixteen patients were treated with an augmented glenoid component, and 19 patients were treated with a standard glenoid component. Of those with standard components, all were partially corrected with asymmetric reaming. At final follow-up, there were no statistically significant differences between those with augmented and standard glenoid components for mean ASES score (93.3 vs. 85.7, P = .217), ASES pain score (47.2 vs. 41.6, P = .161), SANE score (87.8 vs. 86.0, P = .692), and percentage patient satisfaction (95.6% vs. 96.8%, P = .735), forward elevation (148° vs. 149°, P = .852), or external rotation (36° vs. 39°, P = .202). No patient in either group had undergone revision surgery of the operative shoulder over the study period and all patients stated that they would undergo the same surgery again. DISCUSSION Both augmented and standard aTSA can provide satisfactory and sustained improvements in patient-reported outcomes in patients with acquired glenoid retroversion due to glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Despite a trend toward alternative treatment options, anatomic shoulder arthroplasty should remain a surgical consideration even in the setting of a Walch B3 glenoid deformity.

Abstract
Background The posterior subluxation and glenoid version in Walch B2 glenoids are routinely assessed by 2-dimensional (2D) computed tomography (CT). Different methods of calculation are used to analyze these parameters. Alternatively, the rising use of 3-dimensional (3D) planification tools in arthroplasty requires the clarification if the 3D measurements are equivalent to 2D. The aim of this study was to compare B2 glenoids characteristics between 2D CT assessment method and 3D automated software method. Methods CT scans from patients who underwent a shoulder arthroplasty were identified. In the 2D method, measurement of glenoid version was determined. Measurement of the humeral head subluxation (HHS) (scapula axis method) was determined by the percentage of the humeral head posterior to the Friedman line (scapula axis). Three-dimensional analysis allowed an automated segmentation of the humerus and scapula, definition of scapular planes, and determination of glenoid version and HHS. Results Fifty-one CT scans met inclusion criteria. The intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the 2D retroversion (RV) and 2D HHS intraclass correlation coefficient was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient>0.9).The median RV was 16° [12-20] in 2D and 19° [16-23] in 3D (P < .0001). The median subluxation was 71% [66-75] in 2D and 81% [78-86] in 3D (P < .0001). Linear regression analysis demonstrated low positive correlation between RV and subluxation in 2D and 3D (R2 = 0.31 and R2 = 0.23, respectively). Discussion/Conclusion The assessment of version and HHS in Walch B2 glenoids between 2D CT and a 3D planification were significantly different. Low correlation between RV and HHS was observed (2D and 3D assessment).

Abstract
For practicing shoulder arthroplasty surgeons, it is advisable to consider a breadth of data sources concerning complications and outcomes. Although published series from high-volume centers are the primary source of data, these results may not be generalizable to a wide range of practice settings. National or health system-specific registry and medical device databases are useful adjuncts to assess the changing complication profile of shoulder arthroplasty, as well as to understand the complications specific to certain implants or implant types. To reduce the risk of postoperative complications, surgeons must have a clear understanding of the most common modes of failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Publications regarding anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) have consistently reported that they provide significant improvement for patients with glenohumeral arthritis. New TSA technologies that have been introduced with the goal of further improving these outcomes include preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans, 3-dimensional preoperative planning, patient-specific instrumentation, stemless and short-stemmed humeral components, as well as metal-backed, hybrid, and augmented glenoid components. The benefit of these new technologies in terms of patient-reported outcomes is unknown. METHODS We reviewed 114 articles presenting preoperative and postoperative values for commonly used patient-reported metrics. The results were analyzed to determine whether patient outcomes have improved over the 20 years during which new technologies became available. RESULTS The analysis did not identify evidence that the results of TSA were statistically or clinically improved over the 2 decades of study or that any of the individual technologies were associated with significant improvement in patient outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Additional research is required to document the clinical value of these new technologies to patients with glenohumeral arthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.
