Outcome and revision rate of uncemented humeral head resurfacing: Mid-term follow-up study

Figure 1 Patient 2. X-ray of a right shoulder anteroposterior view. Note the superior humeral head migration caused by a traumatic rotator cuff tear 3, 6 yr after surgery.

Figure 2 Patient 3. A: X-ray of the right shoulder. Anteroposterior view. An evident glenoid erosion (arrows) is detectable 5.5 yr after humeral head resurfacing; B: Revision surgery. Deltopectoral approach. After removal of the implant the glenoid surface damage was assessed by retracting the humerus.

Figure 3 Patient 4. Revision surgery, deltopectoral approach. A: The removal of the implant; B: The humeral bone stock appears maintained after prosthesis removal (square).
