Article Abstract

Introduction: The goal of this study was to provide an insight into the clinical results after modular short-stem shoulder arthroplasty for various indications.

Materials And Methods: A consecutive cohort study of 76 patients followed up for 23-55 (mean 31.4) months. 23 anatomical (TSA), 32 reverse (RSA) and 21 hemi-prostheses with a pyrocarbon head (PyC), using a modular short stem with proximal porous coating were implanted. Range of motion, pain and Constant score (CS) were recorded. Comparisons of pre- vs postoperative outcomes, between prosthesis types and indications, were made.

Results: All prosthesis types brought about a significant improvement (p < 0.05) in all measured outcomes. TSA had a significantly higher increase in the CS than PyC and RSA (p = 0.002 and 0.003, respectively). TSA produced superior gains in all ROM compared with RSA (p < 0.02). RSA brought about significantly smaller improvements in internal rotation than TSA and PyC (p = 0.0001 and 0.008, respectively). TSA had greater pain relief than PyC (p = 0.02). TSA with Walch A glenoids seemed to improve more than type B in the CS. PyC patients with Walch B glenoids improved more than Walch A (p = 0.03). When implanted due to Osteoarthritis (OA), PyC had a comparable final outcome to TSA (p = 0.95), although the preoperatively worse TSA patients had a greater improvement in the CS (p = 0.026). The outcome of RSA did not differ between indications, but Walch A glenoids tended to improve more.

Conclusions: Using a second-generation short-stem shoulder prostheses, TSA achieves the best clinical improvements overall, especially for OA with a Walch A glenoid. Despite refixation of the subscapularis tendon in all cases, RSA has inferior internal rotation than TSA and PyC, suggesting a mechanical limitation. OA, a Walch B glenoid and arthritis caused by instability seem to be ideal indications when considering PyC.

Shoulder joint involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is common; however, it is first clinically manifested only after a delay. Initially, the aim should be to preserve the joint for as long as possible by means of adequate drug treatment and arthroscopic synovectomy. If definitive joint destruction nevertheless occurs hemiarthroplasty, anatomical and reverse shoulder arthroplasty are available.

Background: The neck-preserving cementless short stem represents a valid therapeutic option for total hip replacement in high-functional-demand patients, but few studies are available about the use of modularity in the last-generation short stem. The aim of the study was to evaluate the mid-term survival of a specific implant design that combines partial collum short hip stem with neck modularity; assessing the functional status was the second endpoint.

Methods: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 75 patients aged 35 to 80 years, with a minimum 6-year follow-up.

Midterm Comparative Analysis of Short Femoral Stem Survivorship in Dorr Type A Femurs.

Background: Proximal-distal mismatch has emerged as a prominent concern in Dorr type A femoral morphology, prompting the exploration of short stems as promising alternatives to conventional stems. This study aimed to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using short femoral stems in Dorr type A proximal femoral morphology with a minimum follow-up of 5 years.

Methods: Patients with short femoral stems in Dorr type A between 2011 and 2017 were included.

Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a procedure with many challenges, especially when patients exhibit femoral bone defects. The causes of these defects vary, ranging from removal of prior implants to aseptic loosening. As surgeons navigate these challenges, a reliable surgical system is important.

What Is the Revision-free Survival of Resurfaced Allograft-prosthesis Composites for Proximal Humerus Reconstruction in Children With Bone Tumors?

Article Synopsis
  • Reconstruction of the proximal humerus in children who have bone tumors is challenging due to small bone size and potential limb length discrepancies after surgery.
  • There are various reconstruction methods available, including resurfaced allograft-prosthesis composites, but a definitive best option has not been established.
  • This study investigates complications and patient outcomes for 18 children who received resurfaced allograft-prosthesis composites after tumor resection, aiming to assess the success of this surgical technique.
