Satisfactory return to work rates after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Aims: The aim was to analyze the ability to return to work (RTW) after implantation of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) with special attention to heavy labourers.

Methods: All working patients younger than 60 years of age who underwent RTSA between September 2005 and October 2021 were retrospectively evaluated for their ability to RTW. Basic demographic information, job intensity, change of work, and preoperative sick leave were collected.

Cow Hitch Cerclage Suture Fixation of the Greater Tuberosity in Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Performed for Proximal Humerus Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study With a Minimum Follow-up of 2 Years.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a well-established treatment option for complex proximal humeral fractures in older patients, with greater tuberosity (GT) healing being critical for achieving optimal clinical outcomes. We compared the clinical and radiological outcomes between 2 GT fixation techniques: the "cow hitch" (CH) cerclage suture fixation technique and conventional suture fixation technique.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared 20 consecutive patients who underwent RTSA using the CH cerclage suture fixation technique (CH group) with 29 consecutive patients who underwent RTSA using the conventional suture fixation technique (control group).

A Smaller Tibiotalar Sector Is a Risk Factor for Recurrent Anterolateral Ankle Instability after a Modified Broström-Gould Procedure.

Background: Several demographic and clinical risk factors for recurrent ankle instability have been described. The main objective of this study was to investigate the potential influence of morphologic characteristics of the ankle joint on the occurrence of recurrent instability and the functional outcomes following a modified Broström-Gould procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability.

Methods: Fifty-eight ankles from 58 patients (28 males and 30 females) undergoing a modified Broström-Gould procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability between January 2014 and July 2021 were available for clinical and radiological evaluation.
