To obtain more information on the pattern of damage of prosthetic glenoid components, we analyzed 7 retrieved glenoid components. The consecutive series included 2 standard polyethylene components and 5 highly crystalline polyethylene glenoids (Hylamer; DePuy Dupont Orthopaedics, Warsaw, IN) retrieved 3 to 12 years after implantation. At revision, 4 of 5 Hylamer components were fractured. Common wear patterns were i) deformation and crumbling of the rim, particularly at the inferior hemicircumference, probably caused by direct contact of the humerus with the prosthetic component; ii) roughening (abrasion and scratching) of the adjacent articulating surface; and iii) concentric and congruous wear centered posteriorly. Available glenoid components may cover an excessive sector of the head. This can result in mechanical restriction of glenohumeral motion and abutment of the humerus against the glenoid rim. Abutment may cause major shear forces and therefore cause glenoid loosening. The value of articular surface mismatch is questionable because retrieved glenoids were worn to a conforming joint.

Introduction: Primary glenohumeral arthritis is typically associated with glenoid retroversion and posterior bone loss. Glenoid component fixation remains a weak link in the survivorship of anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty, particularly in the B2 glenoid. The aim of this study was to compare biomechanical properties of two glenoid preparation techniques in a B2 glenoid bone loss model.

Aim: To assess the long-term (>10 years) outcomes in anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and implant survival in patient under 60 years and identify risk factors for complications and revision.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study conducted from 1993 to 2008. Over 104 aTSA, 87 in 82 patients (55 years, 36 to 60yo) were included at a mean follow-up of 14±4 years (10 to 25y).
Medialized vs. Lateralized Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Proximal Humerus Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is increasingly used in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) with reliable clinical improvement. Lateralized RSA implants have conferred superior outcomes compared with the original Grammont design in patients with nontraumatic indications. However, in the setting of a PHF, lateralized components can place increased tension across the tuberosity fracture site and potentially compromise tuberosity healing and outcomes.

Background: The incidence of primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) and the prevalence of obesity have increased in the United States. Despite this, the literature assessing the effect of morbid obesity (body mass index≥40 kg/m) on perioperative surgical outcomes remains inconsistent.
Methods: A retrospective review of consecutive elective primary rTSA cases from January 2016 through September 2023 at a single tertiary referral center was performed.
Humeral and Glenoid Component Malposition in Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Retrospective, Cross-sectional Study.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, SUNY, Buffalo, NY, USA.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of glenoid and humeral component malposition in failed primary shoulder arthroplasty requiring revision. We hypothesized that glenoid and humeral component malposition would be a prevalent feature in cases requiring revision arthroplasty for primary anatomic TSA, primary RSA, and primary hemiarthroplasty procedures.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed focusing on identifying the incidence of malpositioned components in shoulder arthroplasty in quantitative and qualitative reviews.
