Is Acromial Morphology Different in Patients with Eccentric Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acromial morphology has been implicated as a potential contributor to eccentric glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA), leading to the development of novel procedures including scapular spine corrective osteotomies. However, there remains a substantial gap in knowledge on the relationship between acromial morphology and eccentric GHOA. This study utilized a comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) semi-automated analysis of acromial morphology to assess its association with eccentric GHOA patterns.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was conducted to identify symptomatic patients with GHOA undergoing evaluation for total shoulder arthroplasty. Patients were classified as having eccentric versus concentric GHOA based on the Walch criteria. A sample of healthy controls was
