Conversion of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty to reverse shoulder arthroplasty using a unique hybrid glenoid component: technique and preliminary results.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Degenerative arthritis of the shoulder is a common condition that is successfully treated with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Rotator cuff disease has evolved as a leading cause of failure of anatomic TSA, requiring revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). This revision procedure can be extremely complex, particularly if removal of a well-fixed glenoid component is necessary. This case series outlines the technique and preliminary clinical results of conversion of anatomic TSA to RSA utilizing both modular humeral and hybrid glenoid components.

Methods

From July 2017 to December 2019, the senior author (PMC) performed 84 consecutive anatomic TSA procedures utilizing a modular humeral arthroplasty system and a unique hybrid glenoid component. T
