Research summary
Half shoulder replacements involve leaving the socket (glenoid) of the shoulder alone and replacing the head (ball) of the arm bone. Traditionally these have been made from metal. There was a move away from using these devices as it was thought they wore down the glenoid. Newer devices are made from ceramic and not metal. We want to review x-rays the ceramic half shoulder replacements and assess for glenoid wear.
