Why the study?
Do metal-backed glenoid components have a higher rate of failure compared to all-polyethylene components?
Do metal-backed glenoid components have a higher rate of failure compared to all-polyethylene components?
Metal-backed glenoid components are associated with higher failure rates than all-polyethylene components in shoulder arthroplasty.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant caution with metal-backed glenoids in shoulder arthroplasty; leaves open confirmation in higher-level studies.
