Abstract

Primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis is a multifactorial condition with a complex cause that affects patients across different age groups, impairing physiologic and psychologic well-being, and substantially reducing patient quality of life and overall productivity. To effectively manage this condition, healthcare providers need to be well informed about treatment guidelines, as well as the available therapeutic options and the evidence supporting their use. Nonsurgical interventions should be regarded as the primary treatment option, particularly for patients in the initial phases of this condition. No conclusive guidelines exist for treating young and active patients, and the literature lacks high-quality data to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and long-term consequences of several interventions, regardless of patient characteristics and expectations.
