Outcomes of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with excessive glenoid retroversion: a case-control study

Ideal management of severe glenoid retroversion during anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains controversial, as previous reports have suggested that severe retroversion may negatively impact clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of severe glenoid retroversion on clinical and radiographic TSA outcomes using a standard glenoid component, as well as to compare outcomes among  patients with less severe retroversion.
