Effect of baseplate size on primary glenoid stability and impingement-free range of motion in reverse shoulder arthroplasty

چکیده
BACKGROUND Use of a baseplate with a smaller diameter in reverse shoulder arthroplasty is increasing, especially in patients with a small glenoid or glenoid wear. However, the effect of a smaller baseplate on stability of the glenoid component has not been evaluated. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether a smaller baseplate (25 mm) is beneficial to the initial stability of the glenoid component compared to that with a baseplate of a commonly used size (29 mm). METHODS Micromotion of glenoid components attached to 14 scapulae of fresh-frozen cadavers was measured and compared between 25- and 29-mm baseplates in biomechanical testing. Impingement-free range of motion in abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation was evaluated by using a simulated computer model constructed based on the same fresh-frozen cadavers used in biomechanical testing. RESULTS Micromotion at the inferior third of the glenoid-glenosphere interface was higher in the 29-mm baseplate group than in the 25-mm baseplate group during both 0.7- and 1-body weight cyclic loading in biomechanical testing. Adduction deficit was smaller, and total impingement-free range of motion from abduction to adduction and rotation were greater in the 25-mm baseplate group than in the 29-mm baseplate group in the simulated computer model. CONCLUSIONS Use of a baseplate with a smaller diameter (25 mm) in reverse shoulder arthroplasty is suitable for improving the primary stability of the glenoid component. With a smaller baseplate, impingement-free range of motion is optimized in a smaller glenoid.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty glenoid fixation: is there a benefit in using four instead of two screws?
BACKGROUND To allow osseous integration to occur and thus provide long-term stability, initial glenoid baseplate fixation must be sufficiently rigid. A major contributing factor to initial rigid fixation is baseplate screw fixation. Current baseplate designs use a 4-screw fixation construct. However, recent literature suggests adequate fixation can be achieved with fewer than 4 screws. The purp...
متن کاملAnalysis of reverse total shoulder joint forces and glenoid fixation.
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) implants are intended to restore stability and function to shoulders with rotator cuff deficiency. The implant consists of a glenosphere projecting from a glenoid baseplate and articulating in a socket at the proximal end of a humeral component. Despite the demonstrated clinical efficacy, little information is available regarding the joint forces about...
متن کاملAccuracy of the Subchondral Smile and Surface Referencing Techniques in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty.
Inferior glenoid baseplate tilt relative to the coronal axis of the scapular body has been associated with improved results and fewer postoperative complications in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. However, the native glenoid surface is not always a reliable reference for the true scapular axis. Digital preoperative planning software and advanced imaging now allow surgeons to more precisely deter...
متن کاملTightening force and torque of nonlocking screws in a reverse shoulder prosthesis.
BACKGROUND Reversed shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for glenohumeral arthritis associated to rotator cuff deficiency. For most reversed shoulder prostheses, the baseplate of the glenoid component is uncemented and its primary stability is provided by a central peg and peripheral screws. Because of the importance of the primary stability for a good osteo-integration of the basepla...
