title: Glenohumeral arthroplasty: a critical review of indications and preoperative considerations.
abstract: Total shoulder arthroplasty has become an effective treatment for advanced glenohumeral arthritis. The results depend, in part, on the underlying degenerative process. This article reviews the indications for glenohumeral arthroplasty, including important preoperative considerations. The different types of glenohumeral arthritides are discussed with respect to their clinical and radiographic manifestations, as well as their impact on preoperative planning.
