title: Revision of a loose glenoid component facilitated by a modular humeral component. A technical note.
abstract: Revision of a glenoid component can be difficult in the presence of a humeral component. Removal of the humeral component is generally required, which adds significantly to the difficulty of the procedure and increases the risk of complications. This report describes revision of a loose glenoid component that was greatly facilitated by the presence of a modular humeral component.
