Project description:We present a technique for arthroscopic glenoid removal in a case of glenoid loosening after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The presented technique is technically feasible and may be useful if 1-stage surgery with glenoid reimplantation is not indicated. To exclude low-grade infection, the presented technique allows for an intraoperative infection workup such as intraoperative cultures. However, glenoid loosening in TSA is a well-known problem and has been described before. The advantages of the presented technique include minimally invasive surgery, decreased pain, preservation of the subscapularis tendon, and assurance of exclusion of low-grade infection before reimplantation of a new glenoid implant. In this case a 73-year-old patient was treated with a TSA for severe osteoarthritis of the right shoulder in April 2014. Because of persistent anterior shoulder pain postoperatively, radiographic evaluation was performed and showed signs of glenoid loosening 6 months after surgery without any clinical signs of infection. To exclude low-grade infection, arthroscopy of the right shoulder was performed. Arthroscopy showed a totally loosened glenoid component leading to arthroscopic glenoid removal by use of a special forceps.

Project description:BackgroundDegenerative arthritis of the shoulder is a common condition that is successfully treated with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Rotator cuff disease has evolved as a leading cause of failure of anatomic TSA, requiring revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). This revision procedure can be extremely complex, particularly if removal of a well-fixed glenoid component is necessary. This case series outlines the technique and preliminary clinical results of conversion of anatomic TSA to RSA utilizing both modular humeral and hybrid glenoid components.MethodsFrom July 2017 to December 2019, the senior author (PMC) performed 84 consecutive anatomic TSA procedures utilizing a modular humeral arthroplasty system and a unique hybrid glenoid component. Three cases (3/84, or 3.6%) required conversion from anatomic TSA to RSA because of postoperative traumatic rotator cuff failure. All modular revision cases were performed without humeral stem removal and with utilization of the existing, well-fixed hybrid glenoid central titanium peg as the foundation for glenoid component revision. Preoperative and postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, visual analog scale pain scores, forward flexion, and patient satisfaction were analyzed in this modular revision group. In addition, several perioperative variables including operative time, blood loss, and length of stay were compared between this modular revision group and a nonmodular anatomic TSA to RSA revision comparative cohort.ResultsAt an average follow-up of 24 months, average active forward flexion, postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, and visual analog scale pain scores improved significantly compared with preoperative scores in the modular revision group. All three patients were satisfied with their outcome. The average total operative time (109 minutes vs. 154 minutes, P = .02), blood loss (183 cc vs. 500 cc, P = .08), and length of hospital stay (26.3 hours vs. 36.6 hours P < .05) were lower in the modular revision group than those in a nonmodular revision cohort.ConclusionRevision of anatomic TSA to RSA utilizing a modular humeral system and a convertible hybrid glenoid component that does not require removal of a well-fixed central titanium peg which serves as the foundation for glenoid component revision was performed efficiently, safely, and successfully in three cases. This technique results in significantly improved clinical outcomes when revision to RSA is needed while potentially decreasing perioperative complications in the revision setting.

Project description:BackgroundHybrid 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/purposeWe sought to systematically review the literature for studies that assessed outcomes of TSA performed using hybrid glenoid components.MethodsPubMed, 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.ResultsSeven 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.ConclusionOur 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.

Project description:Recurrent shoulder instability is associated with bone loss. Distal tibial allograft reconstruction of the glenoid is an accepted technique for managing bone loss. Bone remodeling occurs within the first 2 years postoperatively. This can lead to prominent instrumentation, particularly anteriorly near the subscapularis tendon, causing pain and weakness. We provide a description of arthroscopic instrumentation removal for prominent anterior screws following anatomic glenoid reconstruction with distal tibial allograft.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate glenoid component position and radiolucency following anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) using sequential 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) analysis.MethodsIn a series of 152 patients (42 Walch A1, 16 A2, 7 B1, 49 B2, 29 B3, 3 C1, 3 C2, and 3 D glenoids) undergoing anatomic TSA with a polyethylene glenoid component, sequential 3D CT analysis was performed preoperatively (CT1), early postoperatively (CT2), and at a minimum 2-year follow-up (CT3). Glenoid component shift was defined as a change in component version or inclination of ≥3° from CT2 to CT3. Glenoid component central anchor peg osteolysis (CPO) was assessed at CT3. Factors associated with glenoid component shift and CPO were evaluated.ResultsGlenoid component shift occurred from CT2 to CT3 in 78 (51%) of the 152 patients. CPO was seen at CT3 in 19 (13%) of the 152 patients, including 15 (19%) of the 78 with component shift. Walch B2 glenoids with a standard component and glenoids with higher preoperative retroversion were associated with a higher rate of shift, but not of CPO. B3 glenoids with an augmented component and glenoids with greater preoperative joint-line medialization were associated with CPO, but not with shift. More glenoid component joint-line medialization from CT2 to CT3 was associated with higher rates of shift and CPO. A greater absolute change in glenoid component inclination from CT2 to CT3 and a combined absolute glenoid component version and inclination change from CT2 to CT3 were associated with CPO. Neither glenoid component shift nor CPO was associated with worse clinical outcomes.ConclusionsPostoperative 3D CT analysis demonstrated that glenoid component shift commonly occurs following anatomic TSA, with increased inclination the most common direction. Most (81%) of the patients with glenoid component shift did not develop CPO. Longer follow-up is needed to determine the relationships of glenoid component shift and CPO with loosening over time.Level of evidenceTherapeutic Level IV.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty can be challenging in patients with complex glenoid wear patterns and bone loss. Severe retroversion (>15°) or significant bone loss may require bone grafting. This review summarizes the rate of revision and long-term outcomes of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with bone graft.MethodsA systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and CENTRAL databases was conducted from the date of inception to 23 October 2018. Two reviewers independently screened articles for eligibility and extracted data for analysis. The primary outcome was rate of revision. The secondary outcomes were rate of component loosening, functional outcome, and range of motion.ResultsOf the 1056 articles identified in the search, 26 underwent full-text screening and 7 articles were included in the analysis. All procedures were one-stage anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties. The rate of revision was 5.4% with component loosening and infection listed as indications over a weighted mean follow-up period of 6.3 years. Complications occurred in 12.6% of patients.ConclusionGlenoid bone grafting in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty results in comparable revision rates and improvement in pain compared to augmented glenoid components and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Due to the low quality of evidence, further prospective studies should be conducted.Level of evidenceIV.

Project description:Glenoid component loosening is a common cause of failed total shoulder arthroplasty. Many different treatment options exist for the management of a symptomatic loose polyethylene glenoid component, ranging from component removal to revision arthroplasty. Arthroscopic removal and conversion to hemiarthroplasty provides a minimally invasive management option that avoids takedown of the subscapularis and allows for humeral prosthesis retention. Frequently, however, osteolysis is encountered concomitantly leading to cavitary glenoid bone deficits at the time of glenoid implant removal, limiting both immediate and future treatment options. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe in detail an all-arthroscopic technique for removal of a loose polyethylene glenoid component with subsequent bone grafting of a contained glenoid bone defect, and insertion of a human dermal allograft patch.

Project description:BackgroundAseptic loosening of glenoid implants is the primary revision cause in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). While supported by biomechanical studies, the impact of glenoid bone quality, more specifically bone mineral density (BMD), on aseptic glenoid loosening remains unclear. We hypothesized that lower preoperative glenoid BMD was associated with aseptic glenoid implant loosening in aTSA.MethodsWe retrospectively included 93 patients (69 females and 24 males; mean age, 69.2 years) who underwent preoperative non-arthrographic shoulder computed tomography (CT) scans and aTSA between 2002 and 2014. Preoperative glenoid BMD (CT numbers in Hounsfield unit) was measured in 3D using a reliable semi-automated quantitative method, in the following six contiguous volumes of interest (VOI): cortical, subchondral cortical plate (SC), subchondral trabecular, and three successive adjacent layers of trabecular bone. Univariate Cox regression was used to estimate the impact of preoperative glenoid BMD on aseptic glenoid implant loosening. We further compared 26 aseptic glenoid loosening patients with 56 matched control patients.ResultsGlenoid implant survival rates were 89% (95% confidence interval CI, 81-96%) and 57% (41-74%) at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Hazard ratios for the different glenoid VOIs ranged between 0.998 and 1.004 (95% CI [0.996, 1.007], p≥0.121). Only the SC VOI showed significantly lower CTn in the loosening group (622±104 HU) compared with the control group (658±88 HU) (p=0.048), though with a medium effect size (d=0.42). There were no significant differences in preoperative glenoid BMD in any other VOI between patients from the loosening and control groups.ConclusionsAlthough the preoperative glenoid BMD was statistically significantly lower in the SC region of patients with aseptic glenoid implant loosening compared with controls, this single-VOI difference was only moderate. We are thus unable to prove that lower preoperative glenoid BMD is clearly associated with aseptic glenoid implant loosening in aTSA. However, due to its proven biomechanical role in glenoid implant survival, we recommend extending this study to larger CT datasets to further assess and better understand the impact of preoperative glenoid BMD on glenoid implant loosening/survival and aTSA outcome.

Project description:A 59-year-old woman who had previously undergone an anatomic left total shoulder arthroplasty presented with increasing left shoulder pain and significant reduction in motion of the left shoulder joint. No evidence of prosthetic loosening or periprosthetic fracture was detected on the radiographs or fluoroscopic arthrogram images. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) images revealed evidence of loosening of the glenoid component and secondary rotator cuff failure. This case illustrates how a combination of detailed clinical history, careful physical examination and DECT arthrogram evaluation may be used to identify complications of an anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.

Project description: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. 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. 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. 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.
