A very active man in his 80s who enjoyed activities such as chopping wood, presented with a painful left shoulder and these x-rays.
The AP view shows severe osteoarthritis
The axillary 'truth' view shows a severe type B2 glenoid with biconcavity and extreme retroversion.
Because of his active lifestyle, he elected a ream and run procedure without an attempt to change glenoid retroversion. Here are his x-rays two years after surgery.
He is back to his usual work, chopping wood and his other desired physical activities. This video shows his range of motion at 2 years after surgery.
