The literature article entitled ¿clinical and radiographic outcomes of the ream-and-run procedure for primary glenohumeral arthritis¿ written by jeremy s.Somerson, md, et al., published in the journal of bone and joint surgery, august 2, 2017, was reviewed.The purpose of the study was to answer the following two questions: (1) what factors were associated with the amount of medialization of the humeral head relative to the scapula after the ream-and-run procedure? (2) to what degree were the clinical outcomes after the ream-and-run procedure associated with the amount of postoperative medialization? the study analyzed 150 shoulders that had a ream-and-run shoulder arthroplasty between august 24, 2010 and october 22, 2013.The prosthesis used was the global advantage (depuy) and was secured using impaction autografting with bone harvested from the resected humeral head.132 patients (132 shoulders) consented to the study.Two-year clinical outcomes were available for 120 of these shoulders.Fourteen shoulders underwent subsequent procedures.Four patients underwent closed manipulation under anesthesia for persistent stiffness.Seven patients underwent single stage exchange of the humeral component and soft-tissue releases because of pain and stiffness; six of them had cultures positive for propionibacterium at the time of revision.Three patient had revision to total shoulder arthroplasty (one culture was positive for propionibacterium, and one revision was performed at an outside institution without culture data available).
