Augmented baseplates in reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review of outcomes and complications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glenoid wear secondary to primary osteoarthritis or rotator cuff arthropathy is an obstacle commonly encountered by surgeons performing reverse shoulder arthroplasty, with numerous techniques devised to address this finding. The most recent of such techniques is the introduction of augmented glenoid baseplates to fill these glenoid defects. The objectives of this systematic review are to analyze clinical outcomes of augmented baseplates in patients with glenoid wear, including pain, range of motion, patient-reported functional scores, radiographic outcome measures, complication rates, and revision rates.

Methods

Three online databases (Ovid Medline, EMBASE, Pubmed) were searched for studies publishing clinical and functional outcomes of augmented baseplates in pri
