Article Abstract
Purpose: Total and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are used to treat patients with glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis. The revision rate remains high compared with hip and knee arthroplasty. Glenoid component loosening is an important complication and may be caused by poor positioning of the component. We aimed to evaluate the safety and accuracy of a custom glenoid jig created using preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging with 3D modelling for glenoid component implantation.
Methods: Preoperative CT scans of each shoulder (N = 7) were obtained. Implants were virtually aligned and custom templates were created for intraoperative use. A two-part custom jig was manufactured for alignment of the central peg and the peripheral screws. Three-dimensional orientation of the component and screws was evaluated in postoperative CT scans. The difference between the preoperative plan and the result was then calculated.
Results: No technical difficulties or complications occurred. The mean absolute difference between the planned alignment and the postoperative placement of the glenoid component in the three-dimensional space was 3.4 mm (SD = 1 mm). The total average difference for all screws (N = 10) was 6.3° (SD = 3.2°).
Conclusion: A CT-based custom glenoid component alignment can reliably guide the placement of the glenoid component during conventional and reverse TSA. This custom jig may be useful for optimizing glenoid component position in the setting of reverse and TSA.

Mixed reality guidance enhances and levels the accuracy of glenoid preparation pin positioning in shoulder arthroplasty between experienced and junior surgeons.

Purpose: The potential of mixed reality to improve the accuracy of glenoid preparation pin positioning in shoulder arthroplasty has been previously reported. Another benefit of mixed reality may be its ability to assist junior surgeons in enhancing their precision during prosthetic procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the accuracy of glenoid preparation pin positioning between a senior surgeon and a junior surgeon utilizing mixed reality guidance.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of glenoid implant positioning achieved using emerging technologies, including patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), surgical navigation (NAV), and mixed reality (MR) in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA).
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, utilizing the PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE databases to identify English-language original studies. Studies meeting predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected to evaluate glenoid implant positioning in rTSA using PSI, NAV, and MR techniques.
Clinical outcomes in patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty for dislocation arthropathy : a matched case-control study.

Aims: Dislocation arthropathy of the shoulder is an advanced arthritis resulting from recurrent glenohumeral dislocation with or without previous stabilization surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in patients with dislocation arthropathy with those with primary osteoarthritis (OA) and glenoid bone loss.
Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort study including 22 patients with dislocation arthropathy who were treated by one surgeon between 2011 and 2021 and a matched group of 44 patients who were also treated with RTSA, for OA.
Advancements in Inlay Glenoid Components for Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Review.

While anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is a successful procedure that provides reliable pain relief and restoration of function in most patients, its success has been limited by glenoid component loosening. While series reporting the outcomes of inlay glenoid components have demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes with low rates of component loosening and need for revision, surgeons have been hesitant to adopt these implants due to concerns of inadequate pain relief secondary to the remaining glenoid rim contacting the humeral head implant. The inset glenoid component, a variant of the traditional inlay components, has gained interest because its design aims to achieve similar stability to traditional inlay components through implantation within strong subchondral bone, reduce the amount of glenoid vault removed compared to inlay components, and has a glenoid face designed to limit the rocking-horse phenomenon.

Glenohumeral arthritis is commonly managed by total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), but risks of TSA failure due to its prosthetic glenoid component raise serious concerns, prompting some patients to turn to the ream and run technique (RnR) as an alternative procedure that avoids such complications. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared clinical outcomes of patients who underwent TSA or RnR treatment for glenohumeral arthritis. A total of 668 shoulders from a total of 666 patients were included, with 325 shoulders undergoing RnR and 343 shoulders undergoing TSA.
