The B2 glenoid in a 46 year old man - what to do about the glenoid?

 A 46 year old active man presented with osteoarthritis of the right shoulder and x-rays showing a retroverted B2 glenoid. 

He elected a ream and run procedure (see this link) because of his young age and high activity level.

At 7 years after surgery he had full, comfortable function of the shoulder. 

His 7 year follow radiographs show an impaction grafted humeral component without evidence of stress shielding. 

His axillary "truth" view showed the anteriorly eccentric humeral head centered on the healed glenoid. Note that the preoperative retroversion was not "corrected".
