Six hundred one total shoulder arthroplasties and eighty-nine hemiarthroplasties were performed for primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder. Patients were evaluated with a physical examination, Constant score, and radiographic evaluation. The minimum follow-up was 2 years. At follow-up, the Constant score averaged 64 points, the adjusted Constant score averaged 86%, active anterior elevation averaged 130°, and active external rotation averaged 36°for the hemiarthroplasties. The Constant score averaged 70 points, the adjusted Constant score averaged 96%, active anterior elevation averaged 145°, and active external rotation averaged 42°for the total shoulder arthroplasties. Eighty-six percent of hemiarthroplasties and ninety-four percent of total shoulder arthroplasties had good or excellent results. Differences were statistically significant for all parameters. Total shoulder arthroplasty provided better scores for pain, mobility, and activity than hemiarthroplasty. Fifty-six percent of total shoulder arthroplasties had a radiolucent line around the glenoid component. Total shoulder arthroplasty provides results superior to those of hemiarthroplasty in primary osteoarthritis.
Hemiarthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis: Results correlated to degree of glenoid wear
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 1997
Thirty patients (31 shoulders) were retrospectively reviewed after hemiarthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Ten shoulders had primary osteoarthritis, and 21 shoulders had secondary osteoarthritis. Glenoid surface wear was evaluated and classified as either type I, concentric, (15 shoulders) or type II, nonconcentric, (16 shoulders). Postoperative results were reviewed with the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons' evaluation form, Neer classification, and the Constant score. Overall, 23 (74%) shoulders achieved satisfactory results, and 8 (26%) shoulders had unsatisfactory results. Results were similar in the primary and secondary osteoarthritis groups. Outcome correlated most significantly with the status of posterior glenoid wear. Patients with concentric, type I glenoids achieved 86% satisfactory results, whereas patients with nonconcentric, type II glenoids had only 63% satisfactory results. Although pain relief was similar in both groups, the unsatisfactory results were attributed to loss of forward elevation and external rotation in patients with type II glenoids. On the basis of these results hemiarthroplasty can be an effective treatment for both primary and secondary arthritis but should be reserved for patients with a concentric glenoid, which affords a better fulcrum for glenohumeral motion.
Long-Term Follow-up of Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty for Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American), 2012
Background: There is major controversy surrounding the use of hemiarthroplasty as compared with total shoulder arthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis, and long-term clinical outcomes of hemiarthroplasty are lacking. Methods: Of a cohort of thirty patients (thirty-one shoulders) who were treated with hemiarthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis and followed longitudinally at our institution, twenty-five were available for long-term follow-up; five died, and one refused to participate. Three of the five patients who died had revision arthroplasty before death, and the data from those three were therefore included in the final follow-up (final follow-up data therefore included twenty-seven patients and twenty-eight shoulders). Follow-up through phone conversations and postal mail surveys included the following: Short Form-36, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder outcome score, EuroQol, Simple Shoulder Test, modified Neer Score, and a unique, validated self-administered range-of-motion questionnaire. Correlations between clinical outcome and age, type of glenoid wear, and cause of osteoarthritis were determined. Results: The average follow-up was 17.2 years (range, thirteen to twenty-one years). There were eight revisions (three of fifteen shoulders with concentric glenoids, and five of sixteen shoulders with eccentric glenoids). For those shoulders not revised, the average ASES score was 70.54 (range, 36.67 to 91.67). Overall, active shoulder forward elevation and external rotation with the arm at 90°of abduction increased from 104°preoperatively to 141.8°(range, 45°to 180°) and 20.7°to 61.0°(range, 30°to 90°), respectively (p < 0.05), at the time of final follow-up. Of those who required revision arthroplasty, the average patient age at the time of the index procedure was 51.0 years (range, twenty-six to eighty-one years), while those not requiring revision averaged 57.1 years (range, twenty-seven to sixty-three years). The overall Neer satisfaction rating was 25%. The average Neer score and Neer rating for unrevised cases were significantly higher for concentric glenoid wear compared with eccentric glenoid wear (p = 0.015 and p = 0.001, respectively). Patients who had concentric glenoid wear had higher EuroQol scores (p = 0.020). The average Neer scores were 65.29 (range, forty-seven to seventy-eight) for primary osteoarthritis and 54.46 (range, forty to seventy-seven) for secondary osteoarthritis (p = 0.036). Conclusions: Only 25% of patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis treated with shoulder hemiarthroplasty are satisfied with their outcome at an average of seventeen years after the operation. Patients with concentric glenoid wear and primary osteoarthritis have better outcomes than those with eccentric glenoid wear and secondary osteoarthritis do, but patients in both groups experienced deterioration of results over time. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence. O steoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint is a life-altering disease, the treatment for which was dramatically changed in the 1970s with the introduction of shoulder arthroplasty. Initially, humeral head replacement alone was introduced for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Good results were reported, with most patients experiencing pain relief and return of shoulder function 1. Yet some patients had a slow recovery of strength and had continuing shoulder fatigability.

Introduction: The optimal surgical treatment of end-stage primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis remains controversial. The objective of this article is to systematically review the current available literature to formulate evidence-based guidelines for treatment of this pathology with an arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search was performed to identify all articles from 1990 onward that presented data concerning treatment of glenohumeral arthritis with total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) or head arthroplasty (HA) with a minimal follow-up of 7 years. The most relevant electronic databases were searched. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we identified 18 studies (of the initial 832 hits). The search included a total of 1,958 patients (HA: 316 and TSA: 1,642) with 2,111 shoulders (HA: 328 + TSA: 1,783). The revision rate for any reason in the HA group (13%) was higher than in the TSA group (7%) (P < 0.001). There was a trend of a higher complication rate (of any kind) in the TSA group (12%) when compared with the HA group (8%) (P = 0.065). The weighted mean improvement in anteflexion, exorotation and abduction were respectively 33°, 15° and 31° in the HA group and were respectively 56°, 21° and 48° in the TSA group. Mean decrease in pain scores was 4.2 in the HA and 5.5 in the TSA group. Conclusion: Finally, we conclude that TSA results in less need for revision surgery, but has a trend to result in more complications. The conclusions of this review should be interpreted with caution as only Level IV studies could be included. Level of Evidence: IV.

Introduction Symptomatic glenoid erosion is one of the most common causes of functional impairment after shoulder hemiarthroplasty. A decrease in the critical shoulder angle (CSA) has been associated with the development of shoulder arthritis. The inter-observer reliability of the CSA and the relationship between CSA and symptomatic glenoid erosion after shoulder hemiarthroplasty were investigated. Materials and methods Twenty-eight patients with symptomatic glenoid erosion after anatomic hemiarthroplasty were compared to a control group of 30 patients with no signs of symptomatic glenoid erosion. The CSA was measured by two blinded shoulder surgeons at a mean follow-up of 105.2 and 54.7 months, respectively. The inter-observer reliability was calculated. Results The mean CSA in the control group in neutral, internal, and external rotations was 34°, 33°, and 33°, respectively. The corresponding values in the study group were 33°, 33°, and 33°(\0.01). The interclass correlation coefficient between the two examiners was 0.917 (P \ 0.01), 0.924 (P \ 0.01), and 0.948 (P \ 0.01), respectively. The Mann-Whitney test between the control group and the study group were, respectively, 0.907, 0.932, and 0.602. Conclusion There were no significant differences of CSA values between the two groups. Good inter-observer reliability was found for the CSA method.

Background: Glenoid morphology can influence the outcomes of total shoulder arthroplasty. This study examines the results of a new technique according to preoperative glenoid staging. We hypothesized that there would be no statistically significant difference in outcomes between Levine concentric (Walch A) and Levine nonconcentric (Walch B) glenoids treated for primary glenohumeral arthritis using nonspherical humeral head and inlay glenoid replacement. Methods: This retrospective case series included 31 shoulders in 29 patients (25 male, 4 female), with an average age of 58.5 years. Outcomes included the Penn Shoulder Score (PSS), visual analog scale for pain (VAS-Pain), range of motion, radiographic analysis, and complications. Inclusion criteria were primary glenohumeral arthritis, intact rotator cuff, and no prior open shoulder surgeries. Results: Mean follow-up was 42.6 months (range, 24-74 months). The study included 7 concentric and 24 nonconcentric glenoids. Outcomes comparison showed no statistically significant differences in PSS domains including Pain (P ¼ .92), Function (P ¼ .98), Satisfaction (P ¼ .89), and Total (P ¼ .98); forward flexion (P ¼ .78); external rotation (P ¼ .64); and VAS-Pain (P ¼ 0.12). At the last follow-up, the mean PSS Pain was 25.3/30, Function 52.7/60, Satisfaction 8.4/10, and Total 87.0/100. The mean forward flexion was 167.3 , external rotation 56.6 , and VAS-Pain 0.9. There were no signs of periprosthetic fracture, component loosening, osteolysis, and hardware failure, and no revisions or 90-day rehospitalizations were required. One patient was prophylactically treated with oral antibiotics for a history of prior infection and 1 patient required a later open biceps tenodesis after a traumatic proximal biceps rupture postoperatively. Conclusion: Nonspherical shoulder arthroplasty with inlay glenoid replacement demonstrated excellent clinical benefits for both concentric and nonconcentric glenoids. The technique appears to be a promising option for glenohumeral arthritis even in the presence of posterior glenoid erosion.

Background: Active and young individuals with glenohumeral arthritis who are treated with total glenohumeral arthroplasty are at risk for loosening or wear of the prosthetic glenoid component. This study tests the hypothesis that patients with severe glenohumeral arthritis have improvement in self-assessed shoulder comfort and function at two to four years after treatment with the combination of humeral hemiarthroplasty and concentric glenoid reaming without tissue or prosthetic component interposition.

Purpose: Both anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and shoulder hemiarthroplasty (SHA) are used for the management of end-stage glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA). The present study compared TSA and SHA in terms of clinical outcome and complication rate. Methods: This meta-analysis followed the PRISMA guidelines. In October 2021, the following databases were accessed: Web of Science, Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scopus. All clinical trials comparing anatomical TSA versus SHA for GHOA were considered. Results: Data from 11,027 procedures were retrieved. The mean length of the follow-up was 81.8 (16 to 223.20) months. The mean age of the patients was 61.4 ± 8.6 years, and 56.0% (5731 of 10,228 patients) were women. At last follow-up, the age-adjusted constant score was greater following TSA (p < 0.0001), as were active elevation (p < 0.0001), flexion (p < 0.0001), abduction (p < 0.0001), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (p < 0.0001).

Arthroplasty for glenohumeral arthropathies have specific complications and the final results are sometimes more dependent upon the type of shoulder arthroplasty than the initial etiology. The aim of our study was to evaluate the rate of complications and the functional improvement with different types of shoulder arthroplasties after a minimum follow-up of 8 years. This was a multicenter retrospective study of 198 shoulders including 85 primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder, 76 cuff tear arthropathies, 19 avascular necrosis and 18 rheumatoid arthritis. Arthroplasties included 104 anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties (TSA), 77 reverse arthroplasties and 17 hemiarthroplasties. Ten patients had their arthroplasty revised, and 134 patients with TSA were able to be present at the final follow-up or provide information on their case. Function was evaluated by the Constant-Murley score and loosening by standard radiographs. In the group with primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder, ther...
