Survival of the pegged glenoid component in shoulder arthroplasty: part II

Despite the predominant thinking that pegged glenoid components may be superior to keeled designs, midterm radiographic and clinical failure rates were high with this pegged component design, particularly after 5 years. Advanced presurgical glenoid erosion and younger patient age are risk factors for radiographic loosening. Revision rates underestimate radiographic glenoid loosening.
