Over the last several years, multiple commercially-available implant systems have begun to feature augmented glenoid components for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). Augmented glenoid baseplate components can have a flat-backed geometry or a wedge-backed geometry. Flat-backed options serve primarily to lateralize the center of rotation of the arthroplasty. Wedge-backed options, however, can provide for quick, simple, and reliable correction of multi-planar angular deformity that otherwise would prevent appropriate version and inclination of the glenoid baseplate. Bony structural deformity of the glenoid presents a significant challenge to shoulder surgeons performing RTSA, but wedge-backed augmented glenoid components enable us to attack this problem with confidence. A growing body of literature about these components continues to expand with multiple studies showing favorable outcomes using this technology.
