Lower-risk recall

Shoulder glenoid fossa prosthesis was manufactured without tantalum markers so in the absence of the markers, on already implanted devices, a correct radiographic assessment of the hybrid glenoid position can be performed by the evaluation of the joint space, central TT peg position and cement mantel observation.
