Since the advent of Neer's total shoulder arthroplasty in 1974, glenoid implant design has evolved to optimize patient function and increase implant longevity. Glenoid loosening continues to be a major cause of total shoulder arthroplasty failure due to both patient and implant factors. The more recent development of posterior augmented glenoids, peg fixation with ingrowth potential, inlay implants, zoned conformity implants, and convertible glenoids have all shown promising results in improving glenoid fixation and survival in different clinical circumstances. The increased utilization of 3D CT scans, preoperative planning, and patient-specific instrumentation has paralleled innovation in glenoid implants with the aim of improving the accuracy of glenoid implant placement to further optimize patient function and implant longevity. Specific indications for the variety of glenoid implants available today are still being studied. The shoulder arthroplasty surgeon should consider patient and implant factors and patient goals when determining the appropriate implant for each individual.

In total joint arthroplasty, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be devastating. Corticosteroid injections (CSIs) are commonly administered for temporary pain relief in the setting of various conditions. Therefore, the current systematic review aims to evaluate whether CSIs administered prior to total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are a risk factor for PJI and revision surgery.

Background: In USA, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) ranks amongst the top five surgeries that require hospitalization. As a result, the healthcare system in USA could face a considerable financial strain due to the emergence of subsequent pulmonary problems. This study aimed to conduct a thorough examination of the prevalence, influential factors and medical importance of pulmonary complications, with emphasis on pneumonia, respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism (PE) following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) procedures in USA.

The patient completed an early therapy protocol and had complete healing. At 15 months postoperatively, she had full pronosupination and elbow arc of motion from 10 to 135° with no reported pain.

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.

Methods: Eligible patients were identified using linked national data from the Danish Shoulder Arthroplasty Registry and Statistics Denmark between April 2012 and April 2019. Univariable and multivariable linear regression was used to identify the association between socioeconomic factors and the WOOS index at 1 year following primary shoulder arthroplasty adjusted for age, sex, underlying diagnosis, implant design, and comorbidities.
