Introduction. Achieving prosthesis fixation in patients with glenoid defects can be challenging, particularly when the bony defects are large. To that end, this study quantifies the impact of 2 different sizes of large anterior glenoid defects on reverse shoulder

INTRODUCTION. 3D preoperative planning software for anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA and RTSA) provides additional insight for surgeons regarding implant selection and placement. Interestingly, the advent of such software has brought previously unconsidered questions to light on the optimal way to plan a case. In this study, a survey of shoulder specialists from the American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) was conducted to examine thought patterns in current
