Glenoid Component Position Does Not Affect Short-Term Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Malpositioning of the glenoid component in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains the primary source of loosening. The purpose of this study is firstly, to quantify postoperative glenoid component position in patients having a TSA and secondly, to explore whether glenoid component radiolucency is associated with glenoid position, clinical outcomes and patient-reported measures in the short-term (two year) follow-up period. This study was a sub-study of a larger clinical trial that included patients who underwent a TSA and who were randomized into two different glenoid types with a minimum two-year follow-up period. Post-operative radiographic assessments (six weeks and two years) were used to measure glenoid component position (version, inclination, offset) and humeral head centering an
