The literature article entitled, "sequential 3-dimensional computed tomography analysis of implant position following total shoulder arthroplasty" written by eric t.Ricchetti, md, bong-jae jun, phd, richard a.Cain, md, ari youderian, md, eric j.Rodriguez, bs, david kusin, md, naveen subhas, md, thomas e.Patterson, phd, and joseph p.Iannotti, md, phd published by journal of shoulder and elbow surgery 2017 was reviewed.The article's purpose was to evaluate glenoid component position over time using sequential 3d ct imaging analysis with minimum 2 year follow up to better define preoperative and postoperative anatomic and implant factors that contribute to glenoid component shift over time.Data was compiled from 20 patients age range 53-86 years all who received depuy glenoid implants.Cement manufacturer is not identified.The article only discusses the glenoid component and not other shoulder components.Figures 1-6 provide ct and radiographic imaging for illustrative purposes with some images with narrative description of detection of osteolysis.Depuy products: anchor peg all poly glenoid, steptech anchor all poly glenoid.Adverse events: radiographically detected osteolysis with and without component "shift" (ct scans were taken in series count of 3 and those with shift were noted to be at risk for loosening; no interventions provided).One failure case (treated with revision and intraoperative findings of full thickness tear of supraspinatus tendon).
