Summary
Glenoid exposure is critical for total shoulder arthroplasty positioning. The deltopectoral approach offers better inferior access but risks instability, while the transdeltoid approach is simpler but may limit inferior exposure.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Shoulder arthroplasty
- Surgical approaches
Background:
- Glenoid exposure is a crucial yet challenging step in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), impacting component positioning and surgical outcomes.
- Key stages include arthrotomy, humeral head cut, and inferior glenohumeral release, facilitating glenoid cavity access.
