Early reports of stemless shoulder arthroplasty have shown promising clinical and radiological outcomes. The purpose of this study was to report on the mid-term results of an implant that utilises a ceramic humeral head.
A prospective, consecutive, multicentre study of stemless shoulder prosthesis with a minimum of four years of follow-up was conducted between August 2009 and May 2012. The adjusted Constant–Murley Score (CMS), revision rate and presence of radiolucent lines were recorded at intervals.
Mid-term results demonstrate that the studied stemless implant with a ceramic humeral head had clinical and radiological outcomes that are comparable to other reported studies.
