Managing young patients with glenohumeral arthritis is complex due to high patient demands and various subtypes, including capsulorrhaphy arthropathy, dislocation arthropathy, chondrolysis, osteonecrosis, glenoid dysplasia and inflammatory arthropathies. Arthroscopic interventions are effective for milder cases, while biologic solutions like glenoid resurfacing and osteochondral reconstructions have limited support and uncertain long-term outcomes. Prosthetic shoulder arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty, total and reverse) is definitive for end-stage cases but presents challenges such as patient dissatisfaction, higher complication rates and reoperations, especially in young patients. This ICL will review types of glenohumeral arthritis in young patients and discuss surgical options, including arthroscopic treatments, nonprosthetic arthroplasty, hemiarthroplasty (including resurfacing and ream and run), anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and specific indications for reverse shoulder arthroplasty in this population.
