Summary of non-prosthetic glenoid arthroplasty for arthritis of the shoulder

Shoulder hemiarthroplasty with non-prosthetic glenoid arthroplasty helps restore comfort and function to shoulders damaged by degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis. This procedure provides an approach to treating arthritis in young and physically demanding patients whose arthritis has advanced to the point of surgical treatment. By reshaping, reorienting and smoothing the bony socket, this procedure removes the risks associated with wear, loosening and fracture of the plastic socket.

In the hands of an experienced surgeon, shoulder hemiarthroplasty with non-prosthetic glenoid arthroplasty can be an effective method for treating shoulders with damaged joint surfaces in a healthy and motivated patient. Pre-planning and persistent rehabilitation efforts will help assure the best possible result for the patient.
