Partial humeral head resurfacing using a stemless implant is a bone-conserving option in treatment of focal chondral defects. We report our experience using the Arthrosurface HemiCAP® device. This is a retrospective study of patients with focal chondral defects of the humeral head, treated with partial resurfacing arthroplasty, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Mean patient age was 45.4 years (range 27–76). Patients were analyzed in 2 groups: those who underwent HemiCAP for an isolated humeral head defect, and those who had HemiCAP combined with biologic resurfacing of concomitant glenoid disease.Background
