Abstract:
Complications related to wear-induced osteolysis, such as glenoid component loosening in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and scapular notching in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty continue to impact clinical outcomes following shoulder replacement. This review explores the evolution of prosthesis design, and how advancements in bearing surface technology may influence implant longevity and reduce complications related to wear, osteolysis, and loosening.
