Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: The use of a new augmented glenoid component has the advantages of preserving glenoid bone stock while restoring the alignment of the glenohumeral joint in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with severe posterior bone loss. We present the preoperative planning and surgical technique along with the early clinical and radiographic results of the first 24 cases using the DePuy Johnson and Johnson StepTech Anchor Peg Glenoid. Early results with a minimum of 6-month follow-up demonstrate excellent seating and clinical results with average active elevation of 162 degrees and postoperative PENN score of 84. Postoperative computed tomography analysis demonstrated excellent correction (mean 16.7 degrees) of glenoid version with minimal loss (mean 0.45 mm) of the premorbid joint line.
