Abstract
Aims This prospective cohort study reports the 10-year survivorship, patient-reported outcome measures and radiographic outcomes of the first series of the Epoca resurfacing head total shoulder arthroplasty. Methods From July 2008 to July 2014, 59 Epoca resurfacing head total shoulder arthroplasties were implanted in 50 patients by a single surgeon. Minimum 4.8 year and maximum 11.3 year follow-up (mean: 7.9 years) was analysed using the latest available Oxford Shoulder Score. Kaplan–Meier survivorship analysis was performed with revision as the end point. Most recent radiographs were reviewed for component radiolucency, osteolysis and proximal humeral migration. Results Two shoulders underwent revision (3.4%); one for pain with posterior subluxation following a fall, the other for pain with failure of the glenoid. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed 10-year survivorship of 98.2% (95% confidence intervals: 88.0%–99.8%). Mean Oxford Shoulder Score improved significantly compared to pre-operative values from 18.2 (5–45) to 46.6 (36–48) ( p < 0.001). Fifty-three shoulders underwent radiographic analysis (89.8%). This revealed humeral radiolucency in two cases (3.8%), glenoid radiolucency in three cases (5.7%) and radiographic rotator cuff failure in eight cases (15.1%). Conclusion This prospective cohort study shows excellent 10-year survivorship, medium to long-term clinical and radiological results and for the Synthes Epoca resurfacing head total shoulder arthroplasty. Evidence level IV.
