Advantages and Disadvantages of the Described Glenohumeral Resurfacing Technique

Advantages	Disadvantages
Restores functional range of motion by addressing end-stage osteoarthritis with the use of hemi-cap humeral and inlay glenoid implants while maintaining anatomy and bone stock.	No outcome studies have yet reported on the short- or long-term outcomes of this glenohumeral resurfacing procedure.
Serves as a potential alternative to hemiarthroplasty or total shoulder arthroplasty for patients with greater levels of activity or vocational demands.	Procedure does not address underlying soft-tissue pathology, such as rotator cuff deficiency.
Inlay glenoid reduces risk of glenoid implant loosening and reserves the use of total shoulder arthroplasty for revisional purposes if needed.	There have been no long-term outcomes studies to date that assess inlay glenoid implant longevity.
