title: Humeral head surface arthroplasty: a case report.
abstract: Shoulder osteoarthritis is one of the common causes of the shoulder pain. The shoulder arthroplasty is an effective treatment alternative for the patients at advanced disease stage. We presented the first incident case in Thailand who had been diagnosed with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and was surgically treated by the humeral head surface arthroplasty. Efficacy and clinical outcomes of this treatment were described.
