title: Total glenohumeral joint replacement.
abstract: Some of the anatomical considerations of the glenohumeral joint with respect to prosthetic replacement have been discussed. One approach to prosthetic design has been presented along with the early clinical experience with this design. It is hoped that this information will serve as a reference point for future work to be done in this area.
