Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The clinical effects of total shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis is remarkable, and some controlled studies aim at confirming the clinical effects of stemmed and stemless prostheses for treating shoulder osteoarthritis, but the results need to be investigated further.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the effects of the clinical outcomes of stemmed versus stemless total shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis.
METHODS: Databases of PubMed, SpringerLink, Web of Science, EBSCO, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CNKI, WanFang and VIP for the randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials of stemmed versus stemless total shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis published before September 2018. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. Meta-analysis was conducted on RevMan 5.3 software that the Cochrane Collaboration provided to compare the differences of effectiveness between stemmed and stemless total shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of five studies were included, including three randomized controlled studies and two non-randomized clinical controlled studies, with a total of 182 patients, and 190 shoulders (this study was analyzed by shoulder count). (2) Meta-analysis results showed that the stemless prosthesis group had shorter operation time and less postoperative blood loss than the stemmed prosthesis group. (3) The postoperative Constant score in the stemless prosthesis group was lower than that in the stemmed prosthesis group. After excluding one low-quality literature by sensitivity analysis, there was no significant difference in the postoperative Constant score between two groups. (4) No significant difference was found in the activities of daily living scores, strength scores, pain scores, range of motion of shoulder joint, and shoulder flexion and abduction between two groups. (5) These results indicate that the short- and mid-term effects of stemmed versus stemless total shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis are comparable, but stemless total shoulder arthroplasty can shorten the average operation time and reduce the blood loss after surgery.
