Background: Posterior humeral subluxation is the main cause of failure of total shoulder arthroplasty. We aimed to compare humeral head subluxation in various reference planes and to search for a correlation with retroversion, inclination, and glenoid wear.

Materials And Methods: We included 109 computed tomography scans of primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and 97 of shoulder problems unrelated to shoulder osteoarthritis (controls); all computed tomography scans were reconstructed in the anatomic scapular plane and the glenoid hull plane that we defined. In both planes, we measured retroversion, inclination, glenohumeral offset (Walch index), and scapulohumeral offset.

Results: Retroversion in the scapular plane (Friedman method) was lower than that in the glenoid hull plane for controls and for arthritic shoulders. The threshold of scapulohumeral subluxation was 60% and 65% in the scapular plane and glenoid hull plane, respectively. The mean upward inclination was lower in the scapular plane (Churchill method) than in the glenoid hull plane (Maurer method). In the glenoid hull plane, 35% of type A2 glenoids showed glenohumeral offset greater than 75%, with mean retroversion of 25.6° ± 6° as compared with 7.5° ± 7.2° for the "centered" type A2 glenoids (P < .0001) and an upward inclination of -1.4° ± 8° and 6.3° ± 7° (P = .03), respectively. The correlation between retroversion and scapulohumeral offset was r = 0.64 in the glenoid hull plane and r = 0.59 in the scapular plane (P < .05).

Conclusion: Measurement in the glenoid hull plane may be more accurate than in the scapular plane. Thus, the glenoid hull method allows for better understanding type B3 of the modified Walch classification.

Background: Postoperative assessment following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) typically involves plain radiographs to evaluate implant positioning parameters, such as humeral distalization and lateralization along with medialization and distalization of the center of rotation (COR). However, the precision of these radiographic measurements remains unclear. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of radiographic two-dimensional (2D) measurements compared to three-dimensional (3D) surface model-based measurements derived from CT data for evaluating postoperative parameters in rTSA.

Pain scores and functional outcomes of patients with shoulder labral repair using all-suture anchors versus conventional anchors.

Hypothesis/purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare PROMs in patients undergoing anterior glenoid labral repair using all-suture versus conventional anchors. We hypothesized PROMs would be similar between groups.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the Arthrex Global Surgical Outcomes System (SOS) database, querying patients who underwent arthroscopic glenoid labral repair between 01/01/2015 and 12/31/2020.

Glenoid component placement accuracy in total shoulder arthroplasty with preoperative planning and standard instrumentation is not influenced by supero-inferior glenoid erosion.

Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute, University of Florida, 3450 Hull Road, Gainesville, FL, 32611, USA.

Purpose: Accurate glenoid component placement in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains challenging even with preoperative planning, especially for variable glenoid erosion patterns in the coronal plane.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 170 primary TSAs in which preoperative planning software was used. After registration of intraoperative bony landmarks, surgeons were blinded to the navigation screen and attempted to implement their plan by simulating placement of a central-axis guide pin: 230 screenshots of simulated guide pin placement were included (aTSA = 66, rTSA = 164).

Large glenoid fractures are relatively uncommon with shoulder dislocation. Simultaneous glenoid and greater tuberosity fractures with anterior shoulder dislocation are very rare. We report on a 48-year right-handed male who sustained a fall during skiing.
