Introduction: There is a lack of organization in existing studies on the outcome and complications of total shoulder arthroplasty. As a result, it is difficult to gain substantial evidence regarding the rate and risk factors for the occurrence of glenoid loosening which remains the most common cause of prosthetic failure. To improve the quality of future studies, an agreement should exist on definitions of glenoid loosening and on the potential risk factors.
Areas Covered: Reviewing the literature, loosening can be defined as the appearance of radiolucent lines, radiological loosening, clinical loosening and revision as the end stage. Three different categories of influencing parameters can be distinguished: implant related, patient related and surgeon related. Expert commentary: The aim of this review is to organize the available knowledge on glenoid failure, as well as to describe the gaps so that it will constructively contribute to the debate on how to prevent glenoid failure in the anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.

Aims: The aim of this study was to report long-term clinical outcomes of a modern convertible metal-backed glenoid (MBG) in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).
Methods: After a minimum of 15 years, a previously studied cohort of 35 patients who received a modern convertible MBG during the period 1996 to 2005 was contacted for clinical and radiological follow-up. At last follow-up, patients were evaluated radiologically and clinically according to the Constant Score, Simple Shoulder Test, and visual analogue scale for pain.

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) of the shoulder complicate approximately 0.7% of primary and 15.4% of revision shoulder arthroplasties.

Although mixing and matching components is a common, safe, and well-documented practice in hip revision surgery, our extensive search indicates that it has not been previously reported for shoulder arthroplasty. This case report presents the use of mixed implants in shoulder revision surgery to reduce morbidity and address flaws in the initial implant design. We describe a case of a patient with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia who was treated for osteoarthritis in his left shoulder with an anatomic shoulder replacement in 2014.

Aims: Hemiarthroplasty (HA) and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are often the preferred forms of treatment for patients with atraumatic avascular necrosis of the humeral head when conservative treatment fails. Little has been reported about the survival of HA and TSA for this indication. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in revision rates between HA and TSA in these patients, to determine whether one of these implants has a superior survival and may be a better choice in the treatment of this condition.

Objective: The establishment of clinical registries is essential for the comprehensive evaluation of surgical outcomes. In 2006, the Schulthess Shoulder Arthroplasty Registry (SAR) was launched to systematically assess safety, implant longevity, functional outcomes, pain levels, quality of life, and patient satisfaction in individuals undergoing shoulder arthroplasty. This paper aims to outline the registry data and demonstrate how it is leveraged to improve clinical outcomes.
