May favor stemmed over resurfacing hemiarthroplasty to minimize revisions; leaves open causal factors in this registry comparison.
Does resurfacing shoulder hemiarthroplasty compared to stemmed hemiarthroplasty affect the risk of revision and patient-reported outcomes in patients with shoulder osteoarthritis?
In patients undergoing shoulder hemiarthroplasty for osteoarthritis, lower age is the primary driver of increased revision risk, explaining the apparent difference in revision rates between resurfacing and stemmed implants.
Ödquist et al. (2017) studied this question.
