- indicated for glenoid insufficiency w/ insufficient bone stock for appropriate component fixation:
- cortical penetration of component keel into the glenoid neck;
- incomplete peripheral contact of the glenoid component flange;
- greater than 20 deg of retroversion or anteversion of the glenoid component;
- alteration of glenoid version may affect glenoid component fixation in these patients;
- in the report by Hill JM, et al, the authors evaluated the long-term results associated with the use of bone-grafting for restoration of glenoid volume and version at the time of total shoulder arthroplasty;
- 21 shoulders received an internally fixed, corticocancellous bone graft for the restoration of peripheral glenoid bone stock at time of TSR between 1980 and 1989;
- grafting was indicated when glenoid bone stock was insufficient to maintain adequate version or fixation of the prosthesis;
- 17 shoulders were available for follow-up; the average duration of follow-up for the thirteen shoulders that did not have prosthetic failure within the first two years was seventy months;
- TSR was performed because of osteoarthritis in five shoulders, chronic anterior fracture-dislocation in five, capsulorrhaphy arthropathy in three, inflammatory arthritis in two, recurrent dislocation in one, and failure of a previous arthroplasty in one;
- all patients had some form of anterior or posterior instability preoperatively;
- there were five anterior and twelve posterior glenoid defects.
- bone from the resected humeral head was used for grafting in fifteen shoulders, and bicortical iliac-crest bone was used in two;
- average glenoid version after grafting was 4° of retroversion, with an average correction of 33°;
- range of glenoid version was 22° of anteversion to 30° of retroversion
- graft failed to maintain the original correction in three shoulders due to nonunion, dissolution, or shift;
- 5 total shoulder replacements failed, necessitating glenoid revision at two to ninety-one months postoperatively;
- failures were associated with recurrent massive cuff tears (one shoulder), persistent instability (two shoulders), improper component placement (one shoulder), and loss of graft fixation (one shoulder);
- grafts that were used for posterior defects were technically more difficult to place and transfix than were those used for anterior defects;
- 1/5 components that had been inserted with an anterior graft failed;
- 4/12 components that had been inserted with a posterior graft failed;
- according to the criteria of Neer et al., the functional result was rated as excellent in three shoulders, satisfactory in six, and unsatisfactory in eight;
