Background: Radiostereometric analysis measures the position of rigid bodies in 3 dimensions with very high precision and can be used to measure early micromotion of glenoid implants.

Materials And Methods: Radiostereometric analysis was used to measure migration of 11 partially cemented fluted pegged glenoid components in patients with osteoarthritis who underwent shoulder arthroplasty during a 2-year period. Patients were evaluated using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and Constant scores and by a computed tomography (CT) scan at the 2-year follow-up.

Results: Migration patterns could be classified into 2 groups: The first group showed little if any migration, the second group rotated by 4° or more as early as 3 months after operation. The maximum total point motion reached up to 2 mm by the 6-month follow-up. At 12 months, the 2 groups could be identified by the presence or absence of focal lucency around the central peg. At the end of 2 years, CT scans were able to classify the same 2 migration patterns by the presence or absence of osseointegration around the cementless central peg of the glenoid implant. The clinical effect of the absence of osseointegration in this novel glenoid component is unknown because both groups had similar clinical results at 2 years.

Conclusion: Rapid early migration associated with focal lucency and absence of osseointegration was observed in 6 of 11 components. We postulate that lack of initial fixation leads to early movement of the glenoid component and failure of osseointegration.

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

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.

Background: While stress shielding and adaptive bone changes around the humeral component are often observed after shoulder arthroplasty, the potential causative factors and clinical significance of these findings at mid-term follow-up have not been well elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency, patterns and clinical significance of radiographic findings around the humeral component of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) at minimum 4-year follow-up.

Methods: The 6-week and minimum 4-year radiographs of patients who underwent HA and TSA were evaluated for filling ratios, changes in the humeral bone surrounding the component, and component shift or subsidence.

Background: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty are highly successful procedures for treatment of glenohumeral arthritis to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and overall quality of life. However, the long-term survivorship of the implant systems is less widely documented in the existing literature. The purpose of this study was to establish the long-term patient outcomes and identify factors influencing the postoperative implant survivorship of total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty devices/procedures utilizing the short-stemmed prosthesis and hybrid glenoid components of the Comprehensive Shoulder System (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) at an average of ten years.
