Abstract
PurposeWe performed a systematic review of the studies including clinical/functional outcomes and complications of bone grafting for glenoid defects in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). MethodsThe PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched for relevant papers. ResultsThirteen articles were included. The mean clinical/functional subjective scores significantly improved postoperatively. The implant revision rate for primary and revision RTSA was 3.1% and 21.1% respectively. The reoperation rate was 3.5% and 24.4% respectively. ConclusionsThere was moderate evidence that bone grafting is effective for glenoid defects in primary RTSA. Further high-quality research is required about revision RTSA for moderate-to-severe glenoid defects.
