Background: To address severe posterior subluxation associated with the Walch B2 glenoid deformity, the eccentricity of the prosthetic humeral head can be reversed, allowing the humerus to remain in a relatively posterior position while the prosthetic humeral head remains well-centered on the glenoid. This study describes the short-term outcomes after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) using this technique. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of patients with a B2 glenoid who underwent TSA with the prosthetic eccentric humeral head rotated anteriorly for excessive posterior subluxation noted intraoperatively. Medical records were reviewed for visual analog scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores. Final radiographs were analyzed for instability, lesser tuberosity osteotomy healing, and glenoid loosening. Results: Twenty patients were included with outcome scores at a mean of 48 months. Mean VAS (P
