Glenohumeral Resurfacing in Young, Active Patients With End-Stage Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder.


ABSTRACT: Treatment of end-stage glenohumeral arthritis in young patients is a challenge; however, there is a lack of consensus on optimal treatment algorithms. A thorough history and physical examination are essential. Nonoperative treatments should first be attempted, whereas surgical options range from arthroscopic debridement to arthroplasty. One arthroplasty option is glenohumeral resurfacing with the objective of maintaining more native anatomy and bone stock. The described treatment includes a hemi-cap implant for the humerus and inlay polyethylene glenoid. While hemi-caps have been successfully used for decades, inlay glenoid implants are a more modern treatment, with the objective of less glenoid loosening, the typical complication and failure method in young patients. With the potential for greater longevity and preservation of anatomy, glenohumeral resurfacing for end-stage shoulder arthritis is an important treatment option to consider before total shoulder arthroplasty. This Technical Note describes resurfacing of the glenohumeral joint in a young, active patient presenting with extensive osteoarthritis on both the glenoid and humerus after a previous failed Trillat stabilization.
