Kinematics of the glenohumeral joint after total shoulder arthroplasty: Effects of component conformity
Abstract
Normal glenohumeral translations were studied during active and passive motions to determine how translation patterns in prosthetically reconstructed joints are affected by joint conformity. During passive motions, translation patterns were not affected by joint conformity due to the large translations. The humeral head lost contact with the joint surface. In active motions, translation patterns were altered by joint conformity and were greatly reduced. The femoral head was in contact with the joint surface.
