The data from this study suggest that total shoulder arthroplasty with a cemented metal-backed glenoid component for the treatment of osteoarthritis is associated with pain relief and improvement in motion. However, the high rate of glenoid periprosthetic lucency is concerning and requires additional follow-up and investigation. These results are not better than those that have been reported for all-polyethylene cemented glenoid components.
