Survivorship of Autologous Structural Bone Graft at a Minimum of Two Years when used to address Significant Glenoid Bone Loss In Primary and Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty: A CT and clinical Review.

Severe glenoid bone loss remains a challenge in patients requiring shoulder arthroplasty and often requires autogenous bone grafting. The purpose of this study was to assess the integrity of the bone graft at two years in a series of primary and revision shoulder replacements where glenoid bone loss was managed using a structural autograft (humeral head or iliac crest bone graft) in combination with a trabecular titanium implant.
