Abstract
BACKGROUND: Primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis with posterior wear of the glenoid and posterior subluxation of the humerus (Walch type B) presents a challenge to the treating surgeon. Our hypothesis was that glenoids with biconcavity (B2) would be associated with worse outcomes (functional scores and complications) than B1 glenoids. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data on 112 anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties (104 patients) with B glenoids. Preoperative computed tomography identified 64 B1 glenoids and 48 B2 glenoids (50 and 37 available for follow-up). RESULTS: A significant difference between B1 and B2 glenoids was noted in average retroversion (11° vs. 16°; P < .001) and average posterior humeral subluxation (65% vs. 75%; P < .001). No significant difference was seen in mean age (69.5 vs. 69.2 years) or body mass index (28.5 vs. 27.4) at time of surgery. At average follow-up of 60 months (range, 23-120 months), glenoid component radiolucencies (51.6%, B1; 47.9%, B2), range of motion, preoperative and postoperative scores of the shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire, and patient satisfaction were not significantly different between the 2 groups. Four revisions (4.6%) were documented for acute postoperative infection (2.3%), subscapularis failure (1.1%), and glenoid loosening (1.1%). CONCLUSIONS: Although biconcave glenoids commonly have more severe retroversion and posterior subluxation of the humerus, we were unable to find a clinical or radiographic difference in outcome of patients with B1 or B2 glenoids treated with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty at intermediate-term follow-up. Continued clinical and radiographic follow-up of these cohorts will be necessary to assess any future divergence in outcome.
