Radiolucent lines (RLL) for evaluation of loosening of the implant. To assess the RLL, implant-bone interface of glenoid and humerus are divided into three different zones in both anteroposterior view (AP) and axillary view of the plain radiograph. In glenoid, zone 1, zone 2 and zone 3 are defined as implant-bone interface around the superior (AP) or anterior (axillary view) peripheral screw, central screw, and inferior (AP) or posterior (axillary) peripheral screw, respectively. Similar to glenoid implant-bone interface, humeral implant-bone interface is evenly divided based on the peg of humeral tray
