BIO-RSA and MIO-RSA in two distinct implant designs provide comparable short-term outcomes with a similar increase in shoulder function with notable variations in the lateralization and distalization angles between both implants. Scapular notching was rarely seen and unaffected by the method of glenoid lateralization. Follow-up investigations of both techniques are necessary to complement and track changes in the long-term outcome.
