Key result
In a systematic review of 255 patients, the use of an allograft prosthetic composite for proximal humeral bone deficiency in revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty achieved an 84% graft incorporation rate.
Why the study?
Proximal humeral bone deficiency in revision shoulder arthroplasty is an emerging and challenging problem as reverse shoulder arthroplasty use increases.
Does an allograft prosthetic composite (APC) improve functional outcomes and graft incorporation in patients with proximal humeral bone deficiency undergoing revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty?

Supports allograft prosthetic composite use in revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty with proximal humeral deficiency; extends pooled evidence on graft incorporation.
Systematic Review (n=255)
Does an allograft prosthetic composite (APC) improve functional outcomes and graft incorporation in patients with proximal humeral bone deficiency undergoing revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty?
The use of an allograft prosthetic composite is a viable option for addressing proximal humeral bone deficiency in revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty, showing good graft incorporation and functional improvements.
Kang et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Proximal humeral bone deficiency in revision shoulder arthroplasty (n=255). Allograft prosthetic composite (APC) was evaluated on Graft incorporation. In a systematic review of 255 patients, the use of an allograft prosthetic composite for proximal humeral bone deficiency in revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty achieved an 84% graft incorporation rate.
