Why the study?
Does spherical reaming improve the balance stability angle in cadaveric glenoids denuded of cartilage compared to native or denuded glenoids?
Population

Spherical reaming may restore glenoid stability in cadaveric models; leaves open clinical translation to shoulder arthroplasty.
Does spherical reaming improve the balance stability angle in cadaveric glenoids denuded of cartilage compared to native or denuded glenoids?
Spherical reaming of the glenoid restores stability to levels comparable with a native glenoid or a polyethylene component in a cadaveric model.
