Abstract
Glenoid component loosening is a common cause of failure for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Revision options include reimplantation of an anatomic total shoulder, conversion to a reverse shoulder arthroplasty, or bone graft of the glenoid defect alone. In the presence of an intact rotator cuff with significant glenoid bone loss, the most predictable revision option is bone graft of the glenoid defect alone. Recent studies have demonstrated good clinical outcomes and a lower complication and re-revision rate with bone graft alone compared to attempted glenoid component reimplantation.
