Resumo |
<b>Background </b>Glenoid component fixation remains an issue in the long-term survival of total shoulder arthroplasty. As a consequence revision of the glenoid component is becoming increasingly more common and reconstructive techniques to preserve and restore bone stock are becoming more important.<br /><br /><b>Methods </b>In this article we describe the combined technique of impaction grafting and glenoid component exchange together with a classification of the glenoid defect with a report on four sequential cases in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with an average age of 56 years. The minimum follow-up was 34 months (range 34 months to 62 months).<br /><br /><b>Results </b>Patients reported excellent pain relief and some improvement in motion and function. The complication rate remains low. Radiological assessment using tomograms showed good incorporation of the bone graft and minimal signs of glenoid loosening.<br /><br /><b>Conclusion </b>The results of this study confirm that at least in the short term impaction grafting techniques used to reconstitute the glenoid in revision surgery can be successful.<br /> |
