Advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis: the relationship between radiographic pathoanatomy and clinical presentation
There were limited associations between the severity of pathoanatomy in advanced GHOA and clinical presentations. The only significant associations between pathoanatomy and the clinical presentation related to the humerus, correlating with reduced ROM, but not with PROMs or HRQoL. These findings suggest that existing classification systems for GHOA may not fully capture the variability in clinical symptoms. Further research with larger cohorts, including patients with earlier stage GHOA, is needed to clarify the relationship between pathoanatomy and clinical manifestations of GHOA.
