LongTerm Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Following Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty

The utilization of shoulder hemiarthroplasty has decreased in recent decades, with glenoid erosion being a main concern. Existing long-term follow-up studies involve a limited diversity of early implants and lack a thorough assessment of the effects of glenoid erosion on patient outcomes. This study sought to report the long-term survivorship of hemiarthroplasty in patients treated with a variety of implants, the vast majority being of design generations subsequent to the early monoblock prostheses.
