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 c ...[more]

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:Massive tears of the rotator cuff can result in severe functional deficits due to loss of the axial force couple and effective fulcrum that the intact cuff normally provides. For massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, especially in the setting of early to moderate degenerative changes, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty functions to modify the center of joint rotation, allowing the deltoid and intact components of the cuff to carry out shoulder function more effectively. Our preferred technique uses a standard open deltopectoral shoulder approach with a 3-dimensional glenoid baseplate model and a 135° prosthesis in an onlay configuration to reduce the risk of scapular notching and increase lateralization of the humerus.

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:BACKGROUND:Several modern designs of metal-backed glenoids (MBG) have been devised to overcome flaws such as loosening and a high failure rate. This review aimed to compare rates of complications and revision surgeries between cemented polyethylene glenoid (PEG) and three examples of modern MBG designs. METHODS:Literature search was carried out using PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Google Scholar using MeSH terms and natural keywords. A total of 1186 articles were screened. We descriptively analyzed numerical data between the groups and statistically analyzed the categorical data, such as the presence of radiolucent line, loosening, and revision surgery (failure). Articles were divided into three groups based on follow-up duration: <?36-month, 36-72-month, and?>?72-month subgroups. RESULTS:This study included 35 articles (3769 shoulders); 25 on cemented PEG and ten on the modern MBG. Mean age was 66.4 (21-93) and 66.5?years (31-88). The mean duration of follow-up was 73.1 (12-211) and 56.1?months (24-100). Overall, the rate of the radiolucent line was 354/1302 (27%) and 47/282 (17%), the loosening rate was 465/3185 (15%) and 22/449 (5%), and the failure rate was 189/3316 (6%) and 11/457 (2%), for PEG and MBG, respectively. The results of <?36-month and 36-72-month subgroups showed lower rates of radiolucency and loosening in the cemented PEG group, but there was no significant difference in failure rate (P?=?0.754 and 0.829, respectively). In the >?72-month subgroup, MBG was better in terms of loosening (P?<?0.001) and failure rates (P?=?0.006). CONCLUSIONS:The modern MBG component, especially TM glenoid, seems to be a promising alternative to cemented PEGs, based on subgroup revision rates according to the follow-up duration and overall results of ROM and clinical scores. All polyethylene glenoids tend to increase loosening and failure over time. Three modern MBG designs seem to have no difference in failure, at least in the <?36-month and 36-72-month subgroups compared to the cemented PEG. More long-term follow-up studies on modern MBG should be ultimately conducted. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level IV, systematic review.

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.

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:Asymmetric posterior glenoid wear caused by degenerative glenohumeral arthritis can be addressed by several techniques during total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the midterm outcome of a posterior augmented glenoid component to determine the clinical and radiographic outcome, including complications and the need for revision surgery. Between 1995 and 1999, 13 patients (14 shoulders) underwent a shoulder arthroplasty with an augmented glenoid component to treat posterior glenoid bone deficiency. All 14 shoulders had advanced osteoarthritis. The minimum followup for these 13 patients was 2 years (mean, 5 years; range, 2-8 years). The mean age of these patients was 66 years at the time of surgery (range, 52-78 years). The mean active elevation was 160 degrees (range, 120 degrees -180 degrees ) and external rotation was 56 degrees (range, 30 degrees -90 degrees ). According to a modified Neer result rating system, 36% of patients had an excellent result, 50% a satisfactory result, and 14% an unsatisfactory result. Our results suggest patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty with an asymmetric glenoid component for osteoarthritis achieve satisfactory mid-term pain relief and improvement in function; however, instability is not always corrected. The advantage of this component seems marginal, and its use has been discontinued.

Project description:BackgroundHumeral rotation often remains compromised after nonlateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Reduced rotational moment arms and muscle slackening have been identified as possible reasons for this impairment. Although several clinical studies suggest lateralized RSA may increase rotation, it is unclear whether this is attributable to preservation of rotational moment arms and muscle pretension of the remaining rotator cuff.Questions/purposesThe lateralized RSA was analyzed to determine whether (1) the rotational moment arms and (2) the origin-to-insertion distances of the teres minor and subscapularis can be preserved, and (3) their flexion and abduction moment arms are decreased.MethodsLateralized RSA using an 8-mm resin block under the glenosphere was performed on seven cadaveric shoulder specimens. Preimplantation and postimplantation CT scans were obtained to create three-dimensional shoulder surface models. Using these models, function-specific moment arms and origin-to-insertion distances of three segments of the subscapularis and teres minor muscles were calculated.ResultsThe rotational moment arms remained unchanged for the middle and caudal subscapularis and teres minor segments in all tested positions (subscapularis, -16.1 mm versus -15.8 mm; teres minor, 15.9 mm versus 15.3 mm). The origin-to-insertion distances increased or remained unchanged in any muscle segment apart from the distal subscapularis segment at 0° abduction (139 mm versus 145 mm). The subscapularis and teres minor had increased flexion moment arms in abduction angles smaller than 60° (subscapularis, 2.7 mm versus 8.3 mm; teres minor, -6.6 mm versus 0.8 mm). Abduction moment arms decreased for all segments (subscapularis, 4 mm versus -11 mm; teres minor, -3.6 mm versus -19 mm).ConclusionsAfter lateralized RSA, the subscapularis and teres minor maintained their length and rotational moment arms, their flexion forces were increased, and abduction capability decreased.Clinical relevanceOur findings could explain clinically improved rotation in lateralized RSA in comparison to nonlateralized RSA.

Project description:IntroductionThe ability to provide reliable outcomes in treatment of patients with degenerative rotator cuff tears has become increasingly complicated, as a result of more advanced disease and the increased array of treatment choices.Step 1 preoperative planningDevelop and communicate with a consistent team of interdisciplinary physicians both preoperatively and postoperatively; utilize advanced imaging modalities to evaluate muscle atrophy as well as glenoid and humeral bone stock.Step 2 patient positioningPlace the patient in a beach-chair position, check the abdominal strap, and position yourself facing the axilla.Step 3 surgical approachDevelop the subdeltoid and subacromial spaces and take care to avoid vigorous over-retraction of the deltoid.Step 4 humeral exposure and preparationPerform the head cut utilizing the 135° resection guide, broach the humerus, and ream the humeral socket.Step 5 glenoid exposure and preparation glenosphere insertionReam the inferior surface to bleeding subchondral bone; bleeding subchondral bone on the inferior 50% of the prepared glenoid surface indicates a sufficient depth.Step 6 final humeral preparationAt final reaming, the edge of the reamer should sit flush with the cut surface of the humerus.Step 7 trialingProper soft-tissue balance is frequently achieved by positioning the humeral component so that the rim of the socket lies just above the humeral osteotomy site at the anatomic neck.Step 8 component implantation and closureWhen cementing the humeral component, the socket should match the reamed proximal part of the humerus.ResultsInitially, reverse shoulder arthroplasty was primarily used to treat osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint resulting from chronic rotator cuff deficiency or for true rotator cuff tear arthropathy.What to watch forIndications Contraindications Pitfalls & Challenges.

Project description:Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) is widely used to treat the diseases of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. However, the incidence of rotator cuff tears after ATSA increases during follow-up. The effects of rotator cuff deficiencies after ATSA on the biomechanics of the GH joint are to be investigated. In this study, a musculoskeletal multibody dynamics model of ATSA was established using a force-dependent kinematics (FDK) method. The biomechanical effects were predicted during arm abduction under different rotator cuff deficiencies. The deltoid forces were increased under the rotator cuff deficiencies, the maximum deltoid forces were increased by 36% under the subscapularis deficiency and by 53% under the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor deficiencies. The maximum GH contact forces were decreased by 11.3% under supraspinatus and infraspinatus deficiencies but increased by 24.8% under subscapularis deficiency. The maximum subscapularis force was decreased by 17% under only infraspinatus tear during arm abduction. The results suggested that the changes in the biomechanics of the GH joint induced by rotator cuff deficiencies after ATSA increase the deltoid muscle energy expenditure and joint instability, which result in postoperative less satisfactory clinical outcomes. The changes in rotator cuff muscle forces deserve more attention for understanding the evolution of rotator cuff tear after ATSA.
