Summary
Augmented glenoid components offer similar clinical outcomes to standard implants for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). However, the 16° augmentation showed higher failure rates and is no longer used.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomaterials Science
- Radiology
Background:
- Posterior glenoid bone loss in shoulder arthroplasty necessitates bone preservation and native joint line restoration.
- Augmented glenoid components aim to address these challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of augmented total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) versus case-matched standard implants.
- To assess the early performance of a specific full-wedge augmented glenoid component.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 37 augmented TSAs and 37 matched control TSAs with standard components.
- Minimum 2-year follow-up, analyzing revision rates, glenoid lucencies, range of motion (ROM), and patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
Main Results:
- Both augmented and standard TSAs showed comparable improvements in ROM and PROs.
- Augmented components were more common in B2/B3 posterior bone loss.
- Similar rates of radiographic lucencies and reoperations were observed between groups.
- The 16° augmentation showed a higher failure rate compared to 8°.
Conclusions:
- Posteriorly augmented glenoid components provide similar functional outcomes to standard components in TSA.
- Radiographic loosening and revision rates were comparable.
- The 16° full-wedge augmentation demonstrated a higher failure rate and is discontinued.

Anatomical Positions
19.6K
In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Anatomical Terminology
26.7K
Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Anatomical Movements
15.4K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

Components of Stress
510
Stress analysis under multiple loading conditions is intricate, necessitating a comprehensive grasp of normal and shearing stresses. Consider a small cube at point O, subjected to stress on all six faces, visible or not. Normal stress components σx, σy, σz act perpendicularly to the x, y, and z axes. Shearing stress components τxy and τxz are exerted on faces perpendicular to these axes.
Interestingly, the hidden cube faces also experience these stresses, equal and...

Components of Language
796
Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.

Cerebrum: Anatomical Overview II
4.5K
Each cerebral hemisphere can be divided into three main regions. The outermost region, the cerebral cortex, is a thin layer (2 to 4 millimeters thick) made up of gray matter, consisting of neuron cell bodies, dendrites, glial cells, and blood vessels. The middle region, or white matter, is primarily composed of myelinated nerve fibers organized into three types of large tracts: association fibers, commissures, and projection fibers. Association fibers connect different areas within the same...
