This post-market follow-up study investigates improvement in clinical and radiological outcome after reversed total shoulder arthroplasty with the patient-specific Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction system
The Glenius glenoid implant is a solution for patients who need a reversed glenoid reconstruction (primary or revision) because of a severely damaged glenoid associated with severe bone loss. In these cases, standard reconstruction of the glenoid is not possible because of the lack of body support of the glenoid rim or columns. The Glenius implant is custom-made prothesis: during pre-operative planning, the implant is designed based on a detailed 3D CT analysis of the defect with special reference to bone quality and the anatomy of the bone deficient glenoid. Optimized screw fixation trajectories are defined for each individual patient, which accommodate screws that are positioned and angled towards the best bone stock available in the glenoid/coracoid/scapula with each specific patient. The surgeon provides feedback on the the design and orientation of the implant needed to achieve the optimal inclination of the head and the position \& offset of the joint's centre of rotation. Because Glenius is a relatively new product and only for use in specific and complex cases of severy glenoid erosion, follow-up data on the clinical and radiological outcome are scarce. With this study we aim to collect long-term clinical and radiological follow-up data for patients treated with Glenius in a uniform, standardized way.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
24
All patients will undergo a primary or revision arthroplasty with Glenius according to the routine practice at the investigation site and will be followed at specified visiting moments, during which radiological and clinical data will be gathered.

Change in baseline Constant-Murley Score after surgery
The Constant-Murley score is a clinical outcome scale composed of a number of individual parameters, defining the level of pain, the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient, mobility and strength of the arm. The scores range from 0 (worst clinical outcome) to 100 (best clinical outcome).
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgery
Change in baseline Simple Shoulder Test (SST) after surgery
The SST is a function scale with 12 items, used to assess improvement in shoulder function after treatment interventions and to check the patient's ability to tolerate or perform 12 activities of daily living. The scores range from 0 (worst functional outcome) to 100 (best functional outcome).
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgery
Change in baseline Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) after surgery
The OSS is a 12-item patient-reported outcome specifically designed and developed for assessing outcomes of shoulder surgery e.g. for assessing the impact on patients' quality of life of degenerative conditions such as arthritis and rotator cuff problems. The score ranges from 0 (no pain or functional impairement) to 60 (worst pain and functional impairement).
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgery
change in general health EQ5D score after surgery
EQ-5D is a standardized patient-reported outcome for measuring generic health status. The questionnaire has two components: a health state description measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. and a general evaluation of their overall health status using the visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS).
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgery

change in baseline pain score using Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) after surgery
The VAS pain score is a patient-reported evaluation of pain intensity on a Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) between 0 (no pain) and 100 (worst pain imaginable).
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgery
Translational deviation from planned implant position
translational deviation (in mm) of the implant position on post-operative shoulder CT scan when compared to the planned position on the pre-operative CT scan.
Time frame: 6 weeks after surgery
Rotational deviation from planned implant position
Rotational deviation (in degrees) of the implant position on post-operative shoulder CT scan when compared to the planned position on the pre-operative CT scan.
Time frame: 6 weeks after surgery
Translational deviation from initial implant position
translational deviation (in mm) on a shoulder CT scan 1 year after surgery, compared to the position on the post-operative CT scan.
Time frame: 1 year after surgery
Rotational deviation from initial implant position
Rotational deviation (in degrees) on a shoulder CT scan 1 year after surgery, compared to the position on the post-operative CT scan.
Time frame: 1 year after surgery
Scapular notching
scapular notching will be graded according to the Sirveaux classification system (2004) on a shoulder radiograph. The classification goes from 0 (no notching) to 4 (erosion over the inferior screw with extension under the baseplate)
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years after surgery
Radiolucensies
Radiolucencies surrounding the glenoid component will be graded according to the system of Lazarus (Lazarus et al 2002) on a shoulder radiograph. The classification goes from 0 (no lucensies) to 5 (gross lucensies and radiographic loosening)
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years after surgery
Heterotopic ossifications
periarticular heterotopic ossification (HO) will be scored according to a modified Brooker classification system of HO of the hip (Verhofste et al 2016) on a shoulder radiograph. The classification goes from 0 (no ossifications) to 3 (complete ankylosis of the shoulder)
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years after surgery
rate of implant revision surgeries up to 5 years after surgery
Implant survival will be calculated by calculating the rate of implant revision surgeries up to 5 years after surgery.
Time frame: up to 5 years after surgery
Complication rate
the number and kind of (severe) adverse (device) events: device/shoulder related A(D)Es, SA(D)Es and device deficiencies that could have led to an SAE will be collected.
Time frame: up to 5 year after surgery
