First Place Award: A quantitative analysis of the effect of glenoid bone volume on baseplate failure in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with inflammatory arthritis: a retrospective case control study

Conclusions: Patients with baseplate failure after RTSA for inflammatory arthritis had significantly lower average glenoid vault volumes than their gender-specific counterparts without failure. These findings suggest a level of glenoid volume below which baseplate fixation is potentially compromised: 14 cm3 in men and 5 cm3 in women. Level of Evidence: Level III.
