Conclusions

In this study an experimental test set-up has been developed for evaluation of the fixation of glenoid components to be used in a Total Shoulder Replacement. Using force controlled upper arm motion compared to displacement controlled motion will give better insight into the effect of geometrical design parameters of the glenoid component. By using custom made displacement sensors, the structural deformation can be measured, indicating the future fixation performance of the glenoid component.
