ARTHROSCOPIC GLENOID RETRIEVAL IN FAILED TSA: SEARCH AND RESCUE

Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) – Spring 2014



Abstract

Aseptic loosening of the glenoid after total shoulder replacement is a challenging problem to manage clinically. In the right circumstances, arthroscopic retrieval of loose polyethylene glenoids can be a valuable tool in the shoulder surgeon's repertoire for dealing with this uncommon problem. The purpose of this talk is to demonstrate the technique for arthroscopic removal of a loose glenoid and review the clinical circumstances where this procedure may play a valuable role.
