The combination of glenoid destruction with cuff arthropathy remains a challenge. A 75-year old woman presented with a post-traumatic loss of the glenoid and concomitant cuff arthropathy. Using CT-data a custom-made glenoid component was created by 3D printing. 6 months after reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the patient was free of pain with acceptable ROM. An individual glenoid component created by 3D printing is a feasible therapeutic option in patients with loss of the glenoid and concomitant cuff arthropathy.
