Biomechanics of custom glenoid components in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty-a narrative review of concepts for surgeons.
Review in JSES reviews, reports, and techniques, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Severe glenoid bone loss remains a major challenge in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, as conventional implants often fail to achieve stable fixation. Three-dimensional (3D) printed, custom-made glenoid implants provide a patient-specific solution by optimizing bone-implant congruence, fixation strategy, and biomechanics. This narrative review synthesizes biomechanical principles and surgical considerations underpinning custom glenoid design, including central peg fixation, porous surfaces, bone-implant contact area, and the importance of computed tomography-based pre-operative planning. Current evidence suggests that implant stability is improved by secure central fixation, porous press-fit interfaces, and avoidance of excessive lateralization, which increases torque and failure risk. Custom implants allow tailored peg and screw placement to enhance fixation in compromised bone. Further studies are required to validate these principles and define long-term outcomes.
