Background: Hybrid glenoid components in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) utilize both polyethylene and metal components to provide short-term stability and long-term biologic fixation through bone ingrowth. Questions/Purpose: We sought to systematically review the literature for studies that assessed outcomes of TSA performed using hybrid glenoid components. Methods: PubMed, Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Embase were searched systematically for articles measuring clinical and patient-reported outcomes and rates of complication and revision following TSA using a hybrid glenoid component. Results: Seven studies with 593 shoulders were included in this review. The mean age of patients was 65 ± 1 years, and 46% of the population was male. Mean follow-up was 50 months (4.2 years). The overall complication rate was 7% and rate of revision was 2.5%; glenoid radiolucency was present in 33% of shoulders at mean follow-up of 50 months. Mean improvements in forward elevation, external rotation, internal rotation score, and abduction were 49°, 28°, 2 points, and 42°, respectively. Mean improvements in Constant, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scores were 36 points, 52 points, and 17 points, respectively. Conclusion: Our review found that TSA using hybrid glenoid components results in low rates of complication and revision at early follow-up. Long-term studies are warranted to understand more fully the role of hybrid glenoid components in TSA.

Background Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty improves pain and function with a reported reoperation rate of approximately 1% per year. With improved glenoid fixation, reverse shoulder arthroplasty implants may outperform anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. We evaluate the functional outcomes and reoperation rate of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty versus reverse shoulder arthroplasty at a minimum eight-year follow-up or revision. Methods Between 2005 and 2010, 187 shoulders (137 anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, 50 reverse shoulder arthroplasty) were retrospectively reviewed at a mean of 8.8 years. The mean age at surgery was 67 years. Females were more commonly treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Both groups had similar body mass index and comorbidities. Outcome measures evaluated included abduction, forward elevation, external rotation, internal rotation, Simple Shoulder Test, Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Score, University of California Los Angeles Shoulder score, and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. Results At follow-up, anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty demonstrated greater overhead range of motion and external rotation. All patient-reported outcomes remained similar between groups. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty patients were more likely to rate shoulders as much better or better after surgery (90% versus 67%, p = 0.004). Complications were observed in 24% of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties and 8% of reverse shoulder arthroplasties (p = 0.02). Reoperation was more common in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties (23% versus 4%, p = 0.003). Discussion At mid-to-long-term follow-up, reverse shoulder arthroplasties demonstrated significantly fewer complications and reoperations than anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties. Despite similar patient-reported outcomes, reverse shoulder arthroplasty patients were more likely to be satisfied with their shoulder.

Background The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes following bilateral total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Methods A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases following PRISMA guidelines was performed. English-language literature published from 2010 to 2018 analyzing bilateral TSA (anatomic and/or reverse) with a minimum one-year follow-up was reviewed by two independent reviewers. Study quality was evaluated with the Modified Coleman Methodology Score and the methodological index for non-randomized studies score. Results Eleven studies (1 Level II, 3 Level III, 7 Level IV) with 292 patients were included. Two studies reported on bilateral anatomic TSA ( n = 54), six reported on bilateral reverse TSA (RTSA; n = 168), two reported on anatomic TSA with contralateral RTSA (TSA/RTSA; n = 31), and one compared bilateral anatomic TSA ( n = 26) and bilateral RTSA ( n = 13). Among studies, mean revision rate ranged from 0% to 10.53% and mean complication rate ranged from 4.9% to 31.3%. At final follow-up, patients experienced significant overall improvements in range of motion and patient-reported outcome score measurements. However, bilateral anatomic TSA resulted in greater improvements in external rotation compared to bilateral RTSA. Overall patient satisfaction was 91.0%. Conclusion The available data indicate that bilateral TSA allows for functional and pain improvements and result in high patient satisfaction. Level of evidence IV.

Background: High rates of radiographic loosening have been reported with various glenoid designs. Many available designs sacrifice most of the bone at the central portion of the glenoid vault, creating large areas of deficiency when revision becomes necessary. The purpose of this study was to report the 2- to 5-year outcome of shoulder arthroplasty using a bone-preserving all-polyethylene glenoid components with self-pressurizing pegs. Methods: Between August 2011 and December 2014, 202 consecutive anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) were performed by a single surgeon with implantation of a self-pressurizing cemented pegged glenoid component in 190 patients (12 patients had both shoulders replaced). Patients were followed up prospectively and evaluated for pain, motion, strength, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, and radiographic changes. The mean follow-up time was 2.7 (2–5) years. Results: TSA improved pain and function reliably. At the most recent follow-up, 94% of the shoulders had no or mild pain. Motion included 154 ± 25° of elevation, 68 ± 18° of external rotation, and median internal rotation to T10 (range, iliac crest to T4). The most recent average ASES score was 82 ± 15 points. Early postoperative radiographs showed no radiolucent lines. No humeral or glenoid component was considered radiographically loose at the most recent follow-up. Complications requiring reoperation included subscapularis insufficiency (4), posterior instability (2), deep infection (1), stiffness (1), and a painful loose body (1). No components were revised for loosening. Conclusions: Anatomic TSA using a cemented bone-preserving all-polyethylene pegged self-pressurizing glenoid component provided satisfactory clinical outcomes and survival at 2 to 5 years.

Background: Malpositioning of the glenoid component in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains the primary source of loosening. The purpose of this study is firstly, to quantify postoperative glenoid component position in patients having a TSA and secondly, to explore whether glenoid component radiolucency is associated with glenoid position, clinical outcomes and patient-reported measures in the short-term (two year) follow-up period. Methods: This study was a sub-study of a larger clinical trial that included patients who underwent a TSA and who were randomized into two different glenoid types with a minimum two-year follow-up period. Post-operative radiographic assessments (six weeks and two years) were used to measure glenoid component position (version, inclination, offset) and humeral head centering anterior–posterior (AP) and superior–inferior (SI), and to assess glenoid component radiolucent scoring (modified Lazarus). Pre-operative X-rays were used to measure glenoid version, inclination and Walch classification. Patient-reported measures (PROMs) included the EQ-5D health slider and the Western Ontario Osteoarthritis (WOOS) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and were captured at baseline and two years postoperative. Clinical outcomes including range of motion and complications were also documented. Statistical analysis included t-tests and regression modeling. Results: Ninety-one patients with an average age of 69.9 ± 6.2 years were included in this study. Glenoid component position improved significantly in version (−19.4 ± 8.6° to −17.7 ± 8.5°; p < 0.045) and inclination (11.5 ± 7.1° to 5.9 ± 6.3°; p < 0.00001) from preoperative to six weeks postoperative. Glenoid component offset in SI and humeral head centering in AP remained unchanged throughout the follow-up. Radiolucency (Lazarus classification) was recorded in 21 cases (17.3%) with a Lazarus score of 1 (15 cases) and 2 (6 cases). The EQ-5D health slider, WOOS and ASES, and ROM confirmed continuous improvements from the preoperative scores to the two-year follow-up (p < 0.05). Regression models showed no correlation between glenoid component radiolucency at two years and the postoperative week six glenoid component position; however, female gender was a significant variable. Conclusion: Glenoid component changes from its original native glenoid were observed following TSA. Glenoid inclination was improved more than version from baseline, and the humeral head remained well-centered in AP and SI at two years. Radiolucency of the glenoid at two years is not negatively associated with PROMs or component position; however, female gender was identified as a significant predictor and warrants further investigation. Complications are not associated with glenoid position or radiolucency, but longer-term follow-up is required.

Aims Existing literature indicates that inferiorly inclined glenoid baseplates following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) produce better outcomes compared to superiorly inclined baseplates. We aim to compare clinical outcomes for RSAs with superiorly and neutrally/inferiorly inclined lateralized glenospheres. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 154 consecutive patients undergoing RSA between July 2015 and July 2017 by one single-fellowship trained surgeon (AJ). Two raters (KAM and MVS) independently measured glenoid inclination in preoperative and minimum two year follow-up radiographs (anteroposterior/Grashey) using the RSA angle. Inclination was then compared to patient-reported outcomes, range of motion (ROM), and independently assessed degree of scapular notching and staging of heterotopic ossification at two year follow-up. Results Median postoperative inclination for each group was found to be -3.6° (interquartile range (IQR) -2.1 to -6.9) and 6.0° (3.2° to 10.1°) for the neutrally/inferiorly and superiorly inclined cohorts, respectively. Preoperative inclination was highly associated with postoperative inclination (p = 0.004). When comparing superiorly and neutrally/inferiorly inclined glenospheres, there were no differences in heterotopic ossification (p = 0.606), scapular notching (p = 0.367), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (p = 0.419), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (p = 0.417), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score (p = 0.290), forward elevation (p = 0.161), external rotation (p = 0.537), or internal rotation (p = 0.656). Conclusion Compared to neutral and inferior inclination, up to 6° ± 3° of superior glenoid baseplate inclination on a lateralized RSA design produces no differences in postoperative ROM or patient-reported outcomes, and produces similar levels of scapular notching and heterotopic ossification. Additionally, the degree of preoperative inclination represents an important factor in surgical decision-making as it is strongly associated with postoperative inclination. It is important to note that the findings of this study are only reflective of lateralized RSA prostheses. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(2):360–365.

Background: In the setting of bilateral shoulder arthroplasty (BSA), differences in functional outcomes and motion between anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) are unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of treatment for various combinations of TSA procedures. Methods: A review of prospectively collected data from an institutional shoulder surgery repository was performed for patients who underwent any combination of bilateral TSA or RSA surgery. Based on the combination of shoulder arthroplasty, patients were divided into the following subgroups: bilateral TSA (TSA/TSA), bilateral RSA (RSA/RSA), or unilateral TSA with contralateral RSA (TSA/RSA). A total of 73 patients (146 shoulders), with a minimum of 2-year follow-up, who underwent any combination of bilateral TSA or RSA from 2007 to 2014 were included. Pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures and measured motion were evaluated between the 3 groups. Results: There were 47 TSA/TSA, 17 RSA/RSA, and 9 TSA/RSA patients with a mean age of 72 years and mean follow-up of 51 months. Preoperatively, TSA/TSA had significantly higher Simple Shoulder Test scores, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) function, active elevation, and active external rotation compared with RSA/RSA. Postoperative scores were significantly superior in TSA/TSA compared with other combinations of shoulder arthroplasty except VAS pain and function. Change in pre- to postoperative (effectiveness of treatment) internal rotation was superior in the TSA/TSA group compared with RSA/RSA and TSA/RSA; however, no other differences were observed. Conclusions: Bilateral TSA patients have higher preoperative function and motion. Although some postoperative outcomes differ among combinations of BSA, the overall effectiveness of treatment for patients undergoing BSA is similar between various combinations of arthroplasty.

Background The objective was to evaluate the short-term clinical and radiological outcomes following augmented anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with posterior glenoid deficiency. Methods An electronic search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed identified studies reporting clinical and radiographic outcomes following augmented anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty among patients with posterior glenoid deficiency. Results Nine studies including 312 shoulders underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty using an augmented glenoid implant between 2015 and 2020. A statistically significant improvement in range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS), American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant, University of California - Los Angeles and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores was demonstrated at mean follow-up of 37.1 months. Glenoid retroversion improved from 21.8° to 9.5°. At final follow-up, radiolucency was reported in 35.1% of shoulders. The 16° full-wedge augment led to higher and more severe radiographic lucency, while high peg perforation rates (44%) were observed among 5-mm augment stepped implants. The overall rate of complication was 2.6%. Rate of revision surgery was 1.9%. Conclusions Overall, early- to mid-term outcomes following augmented anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty for posterior glenoid deficiency demonstrate good to excellent overall clinical results. More radiographic and clinical failures were reported in larger full wedge (16°) augments and stepped augments (5 mm). Prospective studies examining mid- and long-term outcomes will help further elucidate safety and efficacy of these relatively new implants.

Objectives: Glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) remains a common cause of shoulder pain, loss of shoulder range of motion, and upper extremity dysfunction. Few long-term outcome studies exist evaluating glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) treatment with arthroscopic management. The purpose of this study was to determine outcomes, risk factors for failure, and survivorship for the comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) procedure for the treatment of GHOA at minimum 10-year follow-up. It was hypothesized that while some patients would progress to total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), the majority of patients would demonstrate sustained improvement in patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction without conversion to TSA at long term follow-up. Methods: The CAM procedure was performed on a consecutive series of patients with advanced GHOA who opted for joint preservation surgery that otherwise met criteria for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). At minimum 10-year follow-up, pre- and post-operative outcome measures collected included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), Short Form–12 (SF-12) Physical Component Summary (PCS), visual analog scale for pain, and satisfaction scores. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed with failure defined as progression to arthroplasty. Results: Thirty-eight CAM procedures were performed with 10-year minimum follow-up (range, 10-14 years) with a mean age of 53 years (range, 27-68) at time of surgery. Kaplan Meier survivorship curve showing 75.3% CAM survivorship (Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management) for glenohumeral arthritis at 5 years and 63.2% at 10 years in Figure 1. Those who progressed to arthroplasty did so at a mean of 4.7 years (range, 0.8-9.6 years). For those who did not undergo arthroplasty, ASES scores significantly improved post-operatively at both 5 and 10 years (63.3-89.6, p<0.001; 63.3-80.6, p=.007) (Table 1). CAM failure was associated with severe pre-operative humeral head incongruity in 93.8% of failures compared to 50.0.% of patients who did not go onto arthroplasty (p= 0.008). Median satisfaction was 7.5 out of 10. Conclusions: Significant improvement in patient reported outcomes were sustained at minimum 10-year follow-up in young patients with GHOA who underwent a CAM procedure. Survivorship rate at minimum 10-year follow-up was 63.2%. Humeral head flattening and severe joint incongruity were risk factors for CAM failure. The CAM procedure is an effective joint preserving treatment for GHOA in appropriately selected patients with sustained positive outcomes at 10 years. [Table: see text]

Background A number of papers have been published reporting on the clinical performance of modern trabecular metal-backed glenoid components in total shoulder arthroplasty. However, no systematic review of the literature has been published to date. Methods The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and EMBASE were queried for publications from January 1980 to October 2019 utilizing keywords pertinent to total shoulder arthroplasty, trabecular metal, and clinical outcomes. Results Overall, seven articles were included for analysis (322 operated shoulders, mean follow-up range: 2–4 years). The survival rate of modern trabecular metal-backed glenoid components was 96% (309 out of 322 cases) at 43 months mean follow-up, while the rate of aseptic loosening was 0.3% (1 out of 322 cases). There were 35 cases (10.9%) with glenoid component radiolucency (one of them required revision), and 37 cases (11.5%) of metal debris formation, with four of them undergoing revision. Conclusions There was low quality evidence to show that the use of modern trabecular metal-backed glenoid components in total shoulder arthroplasty may be safe and effective at short-term follow-up. However, this analysis showed alarmingly high rates of both radiolucency of the glenoid component and metal debris formation which raise concern for potential failure of this glenoid component in the long term. Therefore, we feel that modern trabecular metal-backed glenoid components should be still used with caution as part of a structured surveillance or research program until we know if there is a detriment to the prosthesis in the medium to long term. Level: Systematic review, IV.
