Background:
We evaluated the imaging and functional outcomes of anatomic stemless shoulder arthroplasty (ECLIPSE) in elderly patients with primary osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint in Asian developing countries.
Methods:
Thirty patients were treated using stemless TSA in 26 months period (years 2017 and 2019), and were followed for a minimum of 24 months. Functional outcomes were assessed using Constant and ASES scores. Radiolucent lines and osteopenia were analyzed on radiographs.
Results:
Pre-surgery Constant and ASES scores improved from 27.33(21-38) and 29.67(22-38) to 68(54-78) and 71(71.4(56-79) at final follow up. Around the humeral component, one patient had calcar thinning and a radiolucent line thicker than 2 mm, while six patients had radiolucent lines less than 2 mm. The mean glenoid radiolucency score was 2± 1.1.
Conclusion:
In our setting, stemless total shoulder arthroplasty demonstrated significant improvement in functional scores at short- to mid-term follow-up. Radiographic findings did not correlate with functional scores.
