Glenoid reconstruction in revision shoulder arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Failed shoulder arthroplasty associated with glenoid bony deficiency is a difficult problem. Revision surgery is complex with unpredictable outcome. We asked whether revision shoulder arthroplasty with glenoid bone grafting could lead to good outcome. We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients who underwent glenoid bone grafting using corticocancellous bone grafting or impaction grafting using cancellous bone graft. Three patients underwent revision TSA, five patients hemiarthroplasty, 10 patients hemiarthroplasty with biologic resurfacing of the glenoid, and three patients revision to reverse TSA. The patients had minimum 25 months followup (average, 45 months; range, 25-92 months). All patients had improvement in their range of motion and the Constant-Murley score. Most improvement occurred in patients with glenoid reimplantation. Patients who underwent revision reverse TSA had improvement in shoulder flexion but decrease in external rotation motion. We conclude revision shoulder arthroplasty with glenoid bone grafting can produce good short-term outcome and glenoid component reinsertion should be attempted whenever possible.

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:BackgroundAnatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) has been used to manage degenerative diseases such as primary osteoarthritis. An increase in the use of this procedure has led to several developments in humeral and glenoid components to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of the newly-introduced convertible metal-backed glenoid components with cemented polyethylene glenoid components in aTSA, and to determine whether the new component would be comparable to a conventional one for reducing the burden of future revision or conversion surgeries.MethodsMedical records of fifty patients who underwent aTSA with at least two years of follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Eighteen patients received convertible metal-backed glenoid components with vitamin E1-coated liner (MB group), while thirty-two patients received conventional cemented polyethylene glenoid components (PE group). Pre- and postoperative clinical and radiological outcomes (acromion-greater tuberosity angle [AGA] and humeral lateral offset [LO]) at final follow-up were assessed. Radiolucent lines (RLLs) and loosening around the humeral and glenoid components were also evaluated.ResultsClinical outcomes improved after surgery in both groups (all p < 0.001). The arc of rotation measured by AGA improved postoperatively in both groups (all p < 0.001), and AGA and LO were not different according to the type of glenoid components (all p > 0.05). Overall complication rates including RLLs of PE and MB groups were 43.8% (14/32) and 16.7% (3/18), respectively (p = 0.031). Although the PE group had more RLLs than did the MB group (p < 0.05), related symptoms and/or glenoid implant loosening were not observed in both groups. Subscapularis failure occurred in two patients in the PE group and in one in the MB group.ConclusionThe convertible metal-backed glenoid implant with vitamin E1-coated liner may be a good alternative for considering the potential for an easier conversion to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
