    BackgroundLoosening of the glenoid component is a primary reason for failure of an anatomic shoulder arthroplasty. Pegged glenoids were designed in an effort to outperform keeled components. This study evaluated the midterm clinical and radiographic survival of a single implant design with implantation of an in-line pegged glenoid component and identified risk factors for radiographic loosening and clinical failure.Materials And MethodsThere were 330 total shoulder arthroplasties that had been implanted with a cemented, all-polyethylene, in-line pegged glenoid component evaluated with an average clinical follow-up of 7.2 years. Of these shoulders, 287 had presurgical, initial postsurgical, and late postsurgical radiographs (mean radiographic follow-up, 7.0 years).ResultsAt most recent follow-up, 30 glenoid components had been revised for aseptic loosening. This translated to a rate of glenoid component survival free from revision for all 330 shoulders of 99% at 5 years and 83% at 10 years. Of 287 glenoid components, 120 were considered loose on the basis of radiographic evaluation. Four humeral components were considered loose. Component survival (Kaplan-Meier) free from radiographic failure at 5 and 10 years was 92% and 43%. Severe presurgical glenoid erosion (Walch A2, B2, C) and patient age <65 years were risk factors for radiographic failure. Late humeral head subluxation was associated with radiographic failure.ConclusionDespite the predominant thinking that pegged glenoid components may be superior to keeled designs, midterm radiographic and clinical failure rates were high with this pegged component design, particularly after 5 years. Advanced presurgical glenoid erosion and younger patient age are risk factors for radiographic loosening. Revision rates underestimate radiographic glenoid loosening.Copyright © 2017 Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Board of Trustees. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
