HypothesisThis study evaluates the intrarater and inter-rater reliability of 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) measurements of component position and alignment after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).Materials and methodsTwo patients and one whole-body cadaver with anatomic TSA implants underwent CT scans of the shoulder with a 0.6-mm slice thickness in two different arm positions (supine arm down or lateral decubitus arm up) on the same day. Test-retest reliability of component measurements within and between 5 observers was determined, as were any differences in measurements based on arm position. Precision and 95% confidence intervals were determined for the following measurements: glenoid component position (anterior-posterior, superior-inferior, and medial-lateral), glenoid component orientation (version, inclination, and roll), and humeral-glenoid alignment (HGA). HGA was defined in the anterior-posterior and superior-inferior dimensions.ResultsThe range of precision for measurement of the position of the glenoid implant across observers was between 0.2 and 0.5 mm, and for orientation, it was between 1.2° and 1.5°. The range of precision for measurement of HGA across observers was between 0.7 and 1.2 mm. There was no significant difference in the precision of measurements between the two imaged arm positions.Discussion and conclusionThe described method of 3-dimensional CT imaging can provide very precise and reproducible assessment of component position after TSA. Ultimately, correlation of these measurements with clinical outcome, anatomic factors, prosthetic design, and surgical factors will allow for better understanding of the causes of implant failure.
