Abstract
Introduction: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is the replacement of the humeral head and glenoid surfaces with the goal of replicating normal anatomy. It is commonly utilized for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteonecrosis, who have decreased range of motion (ROM), persistent pain, and loss of strength. Total shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) is the third most common joint replacement in the United States. The incidence of TSA has been increasing, some data suggest that by the year 2025, TSA incidence may rise to 439,206 operations per year. In recent years, stemless total shoulder implants have become available. Results: These implants preserve bone stock while decreasing complications such as osteolysis, stress shielding and periprosthetic fracture. Stemless implants improve anatomic reconstruction and biomechanical function of the shoulder joint. Conclusion: Increasing amounts of data suggest stemless TSA to be a safe and effective technology that will become more common in the coming year.
