Abstract
Compared with use of spherical prosthetic heads, use of elliptical heads resulted in improved replication of the normal humeral head shape. In light of the emerging evidence that use of anatomically shaped prosthetic humeral heads might lead to better shoulder function and possibly improved implant survivorship, the findings of this study may have important clinical and economic implications.
