Abstract
Glenoid bone loss remains a challenge in shoulder arthroplasty. Addressing substantial bone loss is essential to ensure proper function and stability of the shoulder prosthesis and to prevent baseplate loosening and subsequent revision surgery. Current options for creating and shaping glenoid bone grafts include free-hand techniques and simple reusable cutting guides that cut the graft at a standard angle. There is currently no patient-specific device available that enables surgeons to accurately prepare the bone graft and correct glenoid deformity. We present a novel surgical technique using three-dimensional (3D)-printed cutting guides to create a patient-specific bone graft to address glenoid deformity in the setting of reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
