Clinical and radiographic comparison of a hybrid cage glenoid to a cemented polyethylene glenoid in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.

This study reports the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a hybrid cage glenoid compared with an age-matched, sex-matched, and follow-up-matched cohort of cemented all-polyethylene peg glenoids in patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with 2 years' minimum follow-up. We reviewed 632 primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty patients from an international multi-institutional database; 316 patients received hybrid cage glenoids and were matched for age, sex, and follow-up with 316 patients with cemented all-polyethylene peg glenoids. Each cohort received the same humeral component. Scoring was performed in all patients preoperatively and at latest follow-up using 5 outcome scoring metrics and 4 active range-of-motion measurements. A Student 2-tailed unpaired t test identified differences in outcomes; P < .05 denoted a significant difference. Cage glenoid patients had significantly lower rates of radiolucent glenoid lines (9.0% vs. 37.6%, P < .0001) and radiolucent humeral lines (3.0% vs. 9.1%, P = .0088) than all-polyethylene peg glenoid patients. In the cage glenoid cohort, 4 cases of aseptic glenoid loosening (1.3%) and 4 cases of articular surface dissociation (1.3%) occurred. In the all-polyethylene peg cohort, 12 cases of aseptic loosening (3.8%) occurred. Cage glenoid patients had a significantly lower revision rate than all-polyethylene peg glenoid patients (2.5% vs. 6.9%, P = .0088). At 50 months' mean follow-up, cage glenoids demonstrated equally good clinical outcomes to all-polyethylene peg glenoids. Cage glenoids had significantly fewer radiolucent lines around both the glenoid and humeral components and a lower revision rate. Longer-term follow-up is required to confirm these promising short-term results.

Comparison of long-term clinical and radiological outcomes for cemented keel, cemented peg, and hybrid cage glenoids with anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty using the same humeral component.

The aim of this study was to longitudinally compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) up to long-term follow-up, when using cemented keel, cemented peg, and hybrid cage peg glenoid components and the same humeral system. We retrospectively analyzed a multicentre, international clinical database of a single platform shoulder system to compare the short-, mid-, and long-term clinical outcomes associated with three designs of aTSA glenoid components: 294 cemented keel, 527 cemented peg, and 981 hybrid cage glenoids. Outcomes were evaluated at 4,746 postoperative timepoints for 1,802 primary aTSA, with a mean follow-up of 65 months (24 to 217). Relative to their preoperative condition, each glenoid cohort had significant improvements in clinical outcomes from two years to ten years after surgery. Patients with cage glenoids had significantly better clinical outcomes, with higher patient-reported outcome scores and significantly increased active range of motion, compared with those with keel and peg glenoids. Those with cage glenoids also had significantly fewer complications (keel: 13.3%, peg: 13.1%, cage: 7.4%), revisions (keel: 7.1%, peg 9.7%, cage 3.5%), and aseptic glenoid loosening and failure (keel: 4.7%, peg: 5.8%, cage: 2.5%). Regarding radiological outcomes, 70 patients (11.2%) with cage glenoids had glenoid radiolucent lines (RLLs). The cage glenoid RLL rate was 3.3-times (p < 0.001) less than those with keel glenoids (37.3%) and 4.6-times (p < 0.001) less than those with peg glenoids (51.2%). These findings show that good long-term clinical and radiological outcomes can be achieved with each of the three aTSA designs of glenoid component analyzed in this study. However, there were some differences in clinical and radiological outcomes: generally, cage glenoids performed best, followed by cemented keel glenoids, and finally cemented peg glenoids.

The association between glenoid component design and revision risk in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.

Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is a proven treatment for glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis, with superior results compared with hemiarthroplasty. However, glenoid component loosening remains a problem and is one of the most common causes of failure in TSA. Multiple component designs have been developed in an attempt to reduce loosening rates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk of revision after anatomic TSA according to the glenoid component design. We conducted a cohort study including patients aged ≥18 years who underwent primary elective TSA for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis between 2010 and 2017. Patients with missing implant information, who received stemless humeral implants, or who received augmented glenoid implants, were excluded. Glenoid component designs used were categorized into 4 mutually exclusive treatment groups: polyethylene central-pegged ingrowth, polyethylene-metal hybrid, polyethylene all-cemented pegged, and polyethylene cemented keeled. Multivariable competing risk regression was used to evaluate the risk of glenoid loosening as a cause-specific revision by the glenoid component design. Of the 5566 TSA included in the final cohort, 39.2% of glenoid implants were polyethylene central-pegged ingrowth, 31.1% were polyethylene-metal hybrid, 26.0% were polyethylene all-cemented pegged, and 3.6% were polyethylene cemented keeled. At 6-year final follow-up, 4.1% of TSA were revised for any cause, and 1.4% for glenoid loosening. Compared with the polyethylene central-pegged ingrowth design, no difference in glenoid loosening revision risk was observed for the polyethylene-metal hybrid design (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.42-3.20). However, both the polyethylene all-cemented pegged (HR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.08-5.66) and polyethylene cemented keeled (HR = 3.84, 95% CI = 1.13-13.00) designs had higher risks for revision due to glenoid loosening. We observed glenoid component designs to be associated with differential risks in revision due to glenoid loosening with polyethylene all-cemented pegged glenoids and polyethylene cemented keeled glenoids having higher risks when compared with polyethylene central-pegged ingrowth glenoids. Surgeons may want to consider the glenoid component design when performing anatomic TSA.
