Abstract

This computational study of eccentric reaming of the glenoid before TSA quantitatively showed glenoid bone quality is sensitive to version correction via simulated eccentric reaming. The bone density results of our study may benefit surgeons to better plan TSA on B2 glenoids needing durable bone support, and help to clarify goals for development of precision surgical tools.
