Glenoid Bone-Grafting in Revision to a Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Conclusions: Although there were relatively high rates of glenoid loosening and reoperation at mid-term follow-up, glenoid reconstruction with bone graft in the revision setting was able to relieve pain and restore shoulder function and stability. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
