Shoulder Arthroplasty Management in the Young Patient With Posterior Glenoid Erosion.

Abstract

Osteoarthritic shoulders with posterior glenoid erosion present a unique challenge to shoulder arthroplasty surgeons. Although numerous treatment options and techniques have been described, a consensus regarding the optimal surgical management strategy has not been reached. It is important to summarize the best available evidence regarding these different treatment options, with a particular focus on the young patient.
