Topographic Analysis of the Glenoid and Proximal Medial Tibial Articular Surfaces – A Search for the Ideal Match for Glenohumeral Resurfacing

Abstract

This study describes a novel topographic computational model to quantify the topographic match between the medial tibial and glenoid articular surfaces, the findings of which suggest that the medial tibial articular surface provides near anatomic match to the glenoid for the Purposes of glenoid resurfacing in young patients with end-stage arthritis.
