Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the present study is to determine if a standard humeral cut using a fixed neck shaft angled prosthesis for patients undergoing anatomic TSA is able to restore normal glenohumeral relationships as compared to a variable neck shaft angle prosthesis.
Interventions
Surgeon-derived cut based on patient's anatomy
Angle cut at 132.5 degrees based on cutting guide
