Abstract:
Bone loss of either the glenoid or the humerus is a challenging problem in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. When left unaddressed, it can lead to early failure of the implant and poor outcomes. Humeral bone loss can be addressed with the use of an endoprosthesis or allograft prosthetic implant. Glenoid bone loss can be treated with a variety of grafting options, such as augmented implants, patient-specific navigation, and implantation systems.
