Bodybuilding championship after ream and run

A 60 year old bodybuilder who presented with glenohumeral arthritis.



After a discussion of the risks and benefits of a standard anatomic total shoulder and the ream and run procedure, he elected the latter.

His followup x-rays 18 months after surgery are show below showing no evidence of stress shielding or glenoid wear.



He recently sent the news that he had won a local bodybuilding championship in his age division and was headed for the national championship.
