Arthroscopic Removal of Loose Glenoid Component in Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Aseptic glenoid component loosening after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty remains an important cause of late clinical failure and revision surgery. We present here the surgical technique of all-arthroscopic removal and glenoid bone grafting. Arthroscopic removal of a loose glenoid component and bone grafting of the glenoid defect without dermal allograft preserves glenoid bone stock and obviates the need for multiple suture anchors to hold the graft in place.
