- Abstract
Prosthetic instability is one of the most challenging complications to manage when considering reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Additional tools are available to improve accuracy in planning and execution of arthroplasties, such as 3-dimensional (3D) virtual planning based on computer tomography (CT) scan and intra-operative navigation. We report a case of an 84-year-old male treated for RSA prosthetic instability combined with severe glenoid deformity and bone loss, and subclinical periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The definitive surgery consisted in implanting a customized metaglene component realized on the basis of the bone defect detected in the 3D-CT scan and implanted with the aid of computer-assisted intra-operative navigation. The patient was periodically followed-up for a year with clinical and radiological evaluations with the absence of further prosthetic dislocations nor PJI, a good overall satisfaction, a satisfying range of motion, and acceptable functional scores (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score 62, Constant-Murley Score 36). This is the first description, to our knowledge, of a customized glenoid baseplate implanted with the aid of intraoperative navigation. The combined use of 3D-CT planning and intra-operative computer-assisted navigation allows to manage complex cases of prosthetic revision surgery even where extensive bone defects are present.
