Background: Augmented glenoid components restore the native joint line and preserve bone in shoulders with posterior glenoid bone loss. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of augmented total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) vs. case-matched shoulders with standard implants to assess the early performance of a full-wedge augmented glenoid component.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2015, all TSAs using a full-wedge posteriorly augmented glenoid component with a minimum 2-year follow-up from a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 37 augmented TSAs were matched with 37 control shoulders with unaugmented glenoid components. The primary outcomes were revision and radiographic glenoid lucencies. Secondary outcomes included range of motion (ROM) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
Results: Both augmented and standard TSAs produced similar improvements in all ROM and PRO measures. Patients with augmented glenoid components were more likely to have type B2 or B3 deformities (P = .004). At final follow-up, 54% of augmented glenoids showed implant lucencies compared with 46% of control shoulders (P = .5). The mean Lazarus score remained similar between groups (1.5 vs. 1.2, P = .8). When 8° and 16° augmentations were compared, the 16° augmentation demonstrated a significantly higher mean Lazarus score (4.2 vs. 1.1, P = .03). Reoperation rates were similar between groups (5% vs. 3%, P = .6).
Discussion: Patients with posteriorly augmented glenoid components demonstrate similar improvements in ROM and PROs to patients with standard anatomic glenoid components. Radiographic loosening and revision rates were similar. However, a higher failure rate was seen with the 16° full-wedge augmentation, which is no longer used in our practice.

What is the clinical importance of radiographic changes around the humeral component in anatomic shoulder arthroplasty? A minimum 4-year follow-up study.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg

Investigation Performed at the University of Washington, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, Seattle, WA, USA. Electronic address:
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.
Ten-Year Implant Survivorship and Performance of Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Patients with the Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive® Shoulder System - a Short Stemmed Humeral Implant and Hybrid Glenoid.

University of Maryland Medical System, Department of Orthopaedics, Baltimore, MD, USA. Electronic address:
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.

Purpose Of Review: With the growing popularity and broadening indications for Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA), increasing modularity in design and adjustments to each component can enhance postoperative range of motion (ROM), thus expanding treatment capabilities. This review outlines the advancements developed to optimize ROM through modifications in glenoid and humeral components and the integration of computational tools for surgical planning.
Recent Findings: Enhancements in glenoid component design aim to mitigate complications like scapular notching and improve ROM, particularly in abduction and external rotation.
Debridement Technique for Single-Stage Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech

Shoulder and Elbow Service, Florida Orthopaedic Institute, Tampa, Florida.
Background: The incidence of revision shoulder arthroplasty continues to rise, and infection is a common indication for revision surgery. Treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the shoulder remains a controversial topic, with the literature reporting varying methodologies, including the use of debridement and implant retention, single-stage and 2-stage surgeries, antibiotic spacers, and resection arthroplasty. Single-stage revision has been shown to have a low rate of recurrent infection, making it more favorable because it precludes the morbidity of a 2-stage operation.

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.
