A CT scan protocol for the detection of radiographic loosening of the glenoid component after total shoulder arthroplasty

摘要

Background and purposeIt is difficult to evaluate glenoid component periprosthetic radiolucencies in total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) using plain radiographs. This study was performed to evaluate whether computed tomography (CT) using a specific patient position in the CT scanner provides a better method for assessing radiolucencies in TSA.
