Handball and the ream and run @ 6 years

Six years ago we met a dentist who had pain in his left shoulder. Even though he had 10/12 functions of his SST

he desired to proceed with a ream and run because he could not enjoy his sport of handball.

His preoperative films are shown below

His axillary "truth" view showed joint space narrowing that was not evident on the AP view.

He has returned to full action on the the handball court. His 6 year post operative films are shown here, showing a well-fixed thin impaction grafted smooth stem (no ingrowth surface) 

 and a stable regenerated joint surface on the axillary with no evidence of glenoid bone wear.
