Eleven years ago he had a right shoulder ream and run arthroplasty for osteoarthritis.
At 11 years after surgery he had excellent function, continued to play badminton at the highest levels. His x-rays are shown below. Note the well-fixed impaction autografted and canal-sparing humeral stem.
An the humeral head prosthesis centered on a glenoid with dense subsurface bone.
One year ago, he presented with pain and stiffness in his left shoulder and these x-rays. 
At one year after his second side surgery, he sent this email and the video below, "Just a quick update on my shoulder. It is SO good. I can't thank you and your team enough for the great work you have done for me and many others in taking away unnecessary pain and suffering. Here is a picture of how the shoulder is looking and, of course, some weightlifting. I'm heading to Japan next May to compete in the World's Masters in Badminton."
