BACKGROUND: The objective of our study was to quantify the biomechanical effectiveness of lateralization in RTSA with respect to glenoid and humeral component configurations. METHODS: Eight cadaveric shoulders were tested in a custom shoulder testing system. Three parameters, including the glenosphere thickness, humeral tray offset and insert thickness, were assessed by implanting eight configurations on each specimen. Humeral position, maximum internal rotation, and maximum external rotation (ER) before impingement were quantified at 0°- and 30°- glenohumeral abduction...
