Abstract

Background

Clinical studies suggest that reaming of the subchondral bone layer to achieve good implant seating is a risk factor for glenoid loosening. This study aims to evaluate (1) the importance of the subchondral bone layer and (2) the influence of the design of the glenoid component.

Methods

Different techniques for preparation of an A1 glenoid were compared: (1) preserving the subchondral bone layer; (2) removal of the subchondral bone layer; (3) implantation of a glenoid component that does not adapt to the native anatomy. Artificial glenoid bones (n = 5 each) were used with a highly standardized preparation and implantation protocol. Biomechanical testing was performed during simulated physiological shoulder motion. Using a high-resolution optical system, the micromotions between implant and bone were measured up to 10,000 motion cycles.

Results

At the 10,000 cycle measuring point, significantly more micromotions were found in the subchondral layer removed group than in the subchondral layer preserved group (p = 0.0427). The number of micromotions in the nonadapted group was significantly higher than in the subchondral layer preserved group (p = 0.0003) or the subchondral layer removed group (p = 0.0207).

Conclusion

Conservative reaming proved important to diminish the micromotions of the glenoid component. Implantation of a glenoid component that matches with the bony underlying glenoid can help to preserve the subchondral bone layer without sacrificing proper implant seating.
