Abstract
The inferoanterior referenced osteotomy generated a more circular resection area, matching the native humeral head retroversion more closely than in the anterosuperior technique. This study suggests that in shoulder arthroplasty, the humeral resection level should be referenced at the inferoanterior rather than the anterosuperior anatomic neck. Further studies should investigate the biomechanical effects of this alternative resection plane.
