Anatomy & Pathophysiology¶

• Pathoanatomic metrics with identified threshold values can discriminate glenoid types in shoulders with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis [6].
• Measurement of humeral subluxation in the glenoid hull plane may be more accurate than measurement in the scapular plane [27].

• Elliptical and spherical humeral heads show similar obligate glenohumeral translation during axial rotation in total shoulder arthroplasty [37].
• Geometric analysis of the prosthetic shoulder is precise [38].
• Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) shoulders maintain the same anterior and posterior deltoid muscle moment-arm patterns as healthy shoulders but exhibit much greater intersubject variation and larger moment-arm magnitudes [41].
• In RTSA, although the teres minor external rotation moment arm is higher than in a normal shoulder, decreased length could impair force generation [42].
• Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty alters humerothoracic, scapulothoracic, and glenohumeral motion during weighted scaption [43].
• Custom, non-spherical prosthetic heads more accurately replicate head shape, rotational range of motion, and glenohumeral joint kinematics compared with commercially available spherical prosthetic heads when compared to the native humeral head [44].
• The scapulothoracic contribution to overall shoulder movement is significantly increased in patients with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty compared with a healthy shoulder [47].
• Shoulders with rotator cuff tears require considerable compensatory deltoid function to prevent abduction motion loss [51].
• Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty results in tendon-metal contact and higher tendon contact pressures compared to the native shoulder [52].
• The combination of altered resting scapular posture and restricted scapulothoracic range of motion could prohibit glenohumeral rotation required to reach internal rotation in adduction [55].
• Glenosphere configuration can be modified to increase range of movement in reverse shoulder arthroplasty [56].

Classification¶

• Pathoanatomic metrics with identified threshold values can be used to discriminate glenoid types in shoulders with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis [6].
• Anatomic patterns of glenoid bone loss exist for different classes of glenohumeral arthritis [14].
• Shoulders presenting with posterior subluxation (B types) remained posteriorly subluxed over a decade [18].
• Concentric arthritis developed an eccentric pattern 20% of the time over a decade [18].
• Measurement of humeral subluxation in the glenoid hull plane may be more accurate than in the scapular plane [27].
• A 3-dimensional classification system using combined humeroscapular alignment and glenoid erosion can be applied to describe degenerative glenohumeral arthritis comprehensively [36].
• A small lateral extension and less posterior rotation of the acromion is associated with shoulder osteoarthritis and is present in almost all types and subtypes of glenoid morphology [40].
• Osteoarthritic humeral head morphology varies significantly from normal, characterized by larger spherical diameters [58].
• Osteoarthritic humeral head morphology does not vary as a function of the Walch classification between symmetric and asymmetric glenoids [58].

Clinical Presentation¶

• Shoulder arthritis is a common condition [2].
• Management strategies for shoulder arthritis, particularly in young patients, continue to evolve with significant improvements in implant design, although longevity remains a concern in more active patients [2].
• Rapidly destructive arthrosis of the shoulder joints should be considered in the differential diagnosis of elderly women with insidious shoulder pain [10].
• Increased age is the main determinant of radiological changes in shoulder osteoarthritis, as well as pain [12].
• Shoulders presenting with posterior subluxation (B types) remained posteriorly subluxed, while concentric arthritis developed an eccentric pattern 20% of the time over a decade [18].
• Arthritic B2 glenoids are common, and their maximal erosion is usually posteroinferior [48].
• F-18-FDG PET/CT effectively differentiates septic shoulder arthritis from varying stages of osteoarthritis [22].

Investigations¶

• Standardization of outcome assessment is needed following treatment of shoulder arthritis [1].
• Rapidly destructive arthrosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of elderly women with insidious shoulder pain [10].
• Increased age is the main determinant of radiological changes in shoulder osteoarthritis [12].
• Increased age is the main determinant of pain in shoulder osteoarthritis [12].
• In healthy/nonosteoarthritic shoulders, increased glenoid retroversion is associated with decreased anterior glenoid offset [31].
• Additional research is required to document the clinical value of new technologies to patients with glenohumeral arthritis [32].
• MRI offers a more precise method of determining glenoid version compared with x-ray imaging for preoperative osseous imaging in total shoulder arthroplasty [57].
• The critical shoulder angle is an effective radiographic parameter associated with rotator cuff tears and osteoarthritis [63].
• Three-dimensional CT reconstruction allows for reliable evaluation of the scapulohumeral relationship [64].
• Three-dimensional CT reconstruction reveals significant posterior translation of the humeral head in osteoarthritic shoulders compared to nonpathologic controls [64].
• Significant posterior translation of the humeral head in osteoarthritic shoulders supports the pathomechanism of glenoid component loosening [64].
• A quantitative method for determining medial migration of the humeral head on plain radiographs is inexpensive, practical, and reproducible after shoulder arthroplasty [67].
• Cystic disease in the glenoid did not affect functional outcome after total shoulder arthroplasty with minimum 5-year follow-up [68].
• Cystic disease in the glenoid did not affect the presence of radiographic glenoid loosening after total shoulder arthroplasty with minimum 5-year follow-up [68].
• Three significantly differently oriented posterior erosion patterns (posterior-superior, posterior-central, and posterior-inferior) were distinguished in shoulders demonstrating posterior wear on axillary imaging [69].

Treatment¶

Non-Operative Management¶

• Nonoperative modalities should be utilized before surgical options, particularly for patients with moderate-to-mild shoulder osteoarthritis [17].

Surgical Management: General Principles and Indications¶

• Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) is the benchmark for surgical treatment of glenohumeral arthritis with an intact rotator cuff [19].
• Surgical treatments like arthroplasty are considered effective for severe cases of shoulder osteoarthritis [17].
• Knowledge of the array of shoulder prostheses currently available and the indications for each, as well as the use of treatment algorithms, can lead to optimized patient outcomes [11].
• Shoulder arthritis is common, and management strategies, especially in young patients, continue to evolve with significant improvements in implant design [2].
• Longevity of implants remains a concern in more active patients with shoulder arthritis [2].

Surgical Management: Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (ATSA)¶

• There was no clinically or statistically significant difference in the Oxford Shoulder Score results between groups with and without glenoid cementation in total shoulder arthroplasty for degenerative arthritis of the shoulder [28].
• Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is superior to hemiarthroplasty for treating end-stage glenohumeral arthritis refractory to conservative treatment in patients 30 to 50 years old, resulting in greater cost savings, fewer revision procedures, and greater quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained [65].

Surgical Management: Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA)¶

Surgical Management: Surface Replacement Arthroplasty¶

• Cemented surface replacement arthroplasty (CSRA) provides good long-term symptomatic and functional results in the treatment of glenohumeral arthropathy in patients aged younger than 50 years in 81.6% of the patients [9].
• Patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty with an asymmetric glenoid component for osteoarthritis achieve satisfactory mid-term pain relief and improvement in function; however, instability is not always corrected [50].

Surgical Management: Arthroscopic and Other Procedures¶

• The authors recommend a systematic, inclusive approach to the array of pathologies encountered in the setting of early glenohumeral arthritis known as the Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) procedure [16].
• Scapulothoracic fusion resulted in improvements in functional outcomes scores, with most patients meeting or exceeding the minimum clinically important difference for recalcitrant scapular winging [53].

Outcome Assessment and Registry Data¶

• The PROMIS Global-10 appears to have limited utility in the evaluation of patients with shoulder arthritis both preoperatively and after total shoulder arthroplasty [33].
• A study of 1,270 individual patients from eleven centers demonstrated significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes at 1 and 2 years post-surgery for a polyethylene glenoid with a fluted peg, establishing a benchmark for early clinical value [54].

Standardization and Complications¶

• There is a need for standardization of outcome assessment following treatment of shoulder arthritis [1].

Complications¶

• Standardized definitions for shoulder arthroplasty complications are lacking [8].
• Total shoulder arthroplasty is associated with high mid-term complication rates due to instability and loosening in B2 glenoids [45].
• Symptomatic acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis occurred in 15.9% of patients after total anatomic shoulder replacement with follow-up of up to 12 years [15].
• No case of glenoid loosening occurred at 3 years' follow-up in revision arthroplasty with a hip-inspired computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing implant for glenoid-deficient shoulders [21].
• Total shoulder arthroplasty did not provide a clinically important advantage over hemiarthroplasty in terms of adverse effects, although the evidence was of low quality [24].

Recovery¶

• Patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis converted intraoperatively to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) had outcomes comparable to those who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) [3].
• Primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) patients with osteoarthritis and an intact rotator cuff with no previous history of shoulder surgery had similar clinical and radiographic outcomes at a mean of 41 months follow-up [23].
• Surgeons may consider using reverse arthroplasty in cases of primary shoulder arthritis with a critical shoulder angle of 35 degrees or greater [29].
• The PROMIS Global-10 has limited utility in the evaluation of patients with shoulder arthritis both preoperatively and after TSA [33].
• Subscapularis strength returned to normal in only a minority of patients at 2 years after shoulder arthroplasty, although significant strength improvement from baseline was observed [60].
• There is a substantive subgroup with continuing pain and a high rate of glenoid bone erosion after 10 years following humeral head replacement for osteoarthritis [70].
