Abstract
The outcome of total shoulder arthroplasty is largely based on the quality of glenoid component fixation, which, in turn, is related to the amount and quality of bone stock, glenohumeral stability, and rotator cuff function. This article discusses the anatomic and pathologic indications for glenoid replacement, surgical techniques, and results.
