Medium to long-term results of a recessed glenoid for glenoid resurfacing in total shoulder arthroplasty.

Recessed polyethylene mini-glenoid is an attractive alternative for shoulder arthroplasty and provides an intermediate solution between standard glenoid components and hemiarthroplasty. Our medium to long-term results demonstrate reliable clinical outcomes, absence of glenoid erosion, low complication rate and satisfactory implant survivorship.
