Cadaveric micro-CT study comparing two manufacturer-recommended cementing techniques for pegged glenoid components in total shoulder arthroplasty: pressurized syringe delivery with backside cement application versus finger-pressure insertion without backside cement. The study asks whether cementing method affects initial structural fixation quality around the fixation pegs.
When cementing a pegged glenoid, use a syringe to fill holes from the bottom up under pressure and apply cement to the component backside — finger pressure alone leaves nearly half of pegs incompletely fixed and plain films won't show you the difference.
