Proximal ingrowth coating decreases risk of loosening following uncemented shoulder arthroplasty using mini-stem humeral components and lesser tuberosity osteotomy

MSHC use is appropriate for TSA, achieving desired pain relief and functional improvement. Overall, component loosening appears uncommon at early follow-up; however, uncoated stems appear to be at greater risk of loosening and developing radiolucencies. Selecting an MSHC with proximal porous coating may decrease the risk of implant-related complications.
