Manejo integral de la artrosis glenohumeral: tratamiento conservador y quirúrgico

Abstract

Introduction: Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the shoulder joint that causes pain and limited mobility. This condition can have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. Development: A comprehensive review of the literature on glenohumeral osteoarthritis reveals a variety of therapeutic approaches ranging from conservative therapies to advanced surgical options. Analysis of the efficacy and results of conservative treatments such as physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and anti-inflammatory drugs are evident. Although intra-articular injections and biologic therapies have promising results, the lack of evidence does not recommend their use at this time. In addition, we compared surgical treatment options and presented recent techniques that best fit patients' personal characteristics.
