Background: The stability ratio (SR) is an important biomechanical parameter for evaluating glenoid stability in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation (RASD), and it cannot be practically and conveniently measured in clinical scenarios.
Purpose: To investigate a novel computed tomography (CT)-based protocol to estimate the SR efficiently.
Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study.
Methods: A total of 102 patients with RASD were included. Demographic information, CT scans, and bone defect area (BDA) were collected. The new protocol, based on balance stability angle (BSA) measurements on CT, was conducted to estimate the SR (SR) by 2 surgeons independently. Biomechanical testing was then performed on patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D)-printed glenoid models to calculate the SR (SR), which was used to (1) analyze the reliability of SR and (2) examine if the BDA could predict SR. To validate whether the 3D-printed glenoid could reflect the actual biomechanical properties of the shoulder, the SR from 5 cadaveric glenoid specimens (SR) was also calculated and compared with that from the 3D-printed glenoid (SR) under 6 osteotomy conditions. Linear regression and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used for statistical analysis.
Results: The interrater reliability of SR measurements was high (ICC = 0.95). SR was highly correlated with SR ( = 0.86; ICC = 0.92). The mean BDA was 11.44% ± 6.72% by the linear ratio method, with a weak correlation with SR ( = 0.31; ICC = -0.46). The cadaveric validation experiment indicated that SR was highly correlated with SR ( = 0.86; ICC = 0.77).
Conclusion: Results indicated that (1) the proposed CT-based protocol of obtaining BSA measurements is promising for the SR estimation in patients with RASD, (2) the BDA was not an effective parameter to predict the biomechanical SR, and (3) the 3D-printed glenoid could reflect the biomechanical properties of cadaveric shoulders regarding the SR estimation.
Clinical Relevance: Traditional BDA measurements cannot accurately reflect the biomechanical stability of the glenoid. The newly proposed CT-based protocol is practical for surgeons to estimate the SR.

Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Case: The effective reconstruction and functional restoration of the shoulder joint after surgical treatment of shoulder girdle tumors, especially those involving resection of the glenoid, poses significant challenges. Reconstruction methods include allograft reconstruction and shoulder prosthesis. In this report, we present 2 cases of scapulectomy for tumors involving the glenoid, followed by shoulder reconstruction using custom-designed reverse shoulder prostheses that are partially fixed to the clavicle.

Background: Failure rates in the management of recurrent posterior shoulder instability remain a concern. Cadaveric studies have established that posterior capsulolabral tears, glenoid retroversion, and posterior glenoid bone loss result in increased posterior humeral head translation in the setting of a posteriorly directed force. A high and flat acromion has recently been associated with posterior instability.

Purpose: Good initial fixation of glenoid component for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) relies on component placement and screw purchase in the scapula bone. This is especially difficult in an Asian population with small glenoid geometry. Optimal glenoid component roll angle and screw angulation to achieve the longest screws for best fixation has not been defined in the current literature.

Background: All available methods for reconstruction after proximal humerus tumor resection have disadvantages, and the optimal reconstruction method remains uncertain. This study aimed to design a novel 3D-printed glenohumeral fusion prosthesis and verify its feasibility and safety using biomechanical methods.
Methods: We verified the feasibility and safety of the 3D-printed glenohumeral fusion prosthesis by finite element analysis and biomechanical experimentation.
Glenoid structural bone grafting in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Background: Current options for reconstruction of large glenoid defects in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) include structural bone grafting, use of augmented components, or 3D-printed custom implants. Given the paucity in the literature on structural bone grafts in RTSA, this study reflects our experience on clinical and radiographic outcomes of structural bone grafts used for glenoid defects in RTSA.
Methods: We identified 33 consecutive patients who underwent RTSA using structural bone grafts for glenoid bone loss between 2008 and 2019.
