Radiographic evaluation of short-stem press-fit total shoulder arthroplasty: short-term follow-up.

Background: Humeral loosening is an uncommon etiology for revision shoulder arthroplasty. We aimed to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of a short-stem press-fit humeral component after primary total shoulder arthroplasty.

Methods: We reviewed our patient database, from January 2008 to December 2011, for primary total shoulder arthroplasties performed with a short-stem press-fit humeral component.

Radiographic and clinical outcomes of total shoulder arthroplasty with an all-polyethylene pegged bone ingrowth glenoid component: prospective short- to medium-term follow-up.

Background: Glenoid components often cause total shoulder arthroplasty failure. This study examines short-term to midterm radiographic and clinical results of a hybrid glenoid component with 3 cemented peripheral pegs and a central peg, which allows biologic fixation with use of native humeral head autograft.

Methods: In 4 years, 80 glenoid components were implanted during primary total shoulder arthroplasty with at least 2-year follow-up data.
