Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare functional outcomes and complication rates between patients with and without C. acnes contamination after primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) surgeries.
- - Out of 162 patients, 96 cultures tested positive for C. acnes, but the postoperative functional outcomes (measured by the Constant score) were similar between both groups at two and five years post-surgery.
- - However, patients with positive C. acnes cultures experienced a higher complication rate, including infections and surgery revisions, indicating the presence of the bacteria could lead to more issues despite similar functional outcomes.
Background: One of the most frequent reasons for total knee arthroplasty late failure is osteolysis. It has been related to foreign body reaction to polyethylene particles. The aim of this study is to analyse the number, size and morphology of polyethylene particles in synovial fluid in total knee arthroplasty revision and correlate them to the pathology and the degree of osteolysis.

The purpose of this paper was to assess the feasibility of a meniscal repair that included the popliteal tendon.
