Article Abstract
Primary, isolated humeral head arthritis or focal chondral defects are uncommon and difficult to diagnose preoperatively. While these lesions have traditionally been treated with total shoulder arthroplasty, shoulder hemiarthroplasty is a viable option for patients with isolated humeral head disease and minimal degenerative changes in the glenoid. This approach can be performed in a minimally invasive fashion, which preserves bone stock and native biomechanics, and can be beneficial if conversion to total shoulder arthroplasty is required in the future and avoids risk of glenoid loosening or failure in younger and more active individuals. In this Technical Note and accompanying video, we describe our technique of humeral head resurfacing in a patient with isolated primary humeral osteoarthritis with a large focal chondral defect in the humeral head.

Shoulder Instability in Contact and Collision Athletes: A Focused Review on Assessment, Management, and Treatment.

Glenohumeral instability is a common injury affecting contact and collision athletes. Male sex, younger age at time of first dislocation, and contact sports participation are risk factors for recurrent instability. MRI is the gold standard to evaluate soft tissue structures, while CT is beneficial in quantifying glenoid bone loss and identifying on-track and off-track Hill-Sachs lesions.

Luxatio erecta is a rare form of glenohumeral dislocation in which the humeral head is displaced inferior to the glenoid, accounting for fewer than 0.5% of all shoulder dislocations; thus, bilateral involvement is exceedingly rare. We present a rare case of bilateral luxatio erecta in a 59-year-old male complicated by progressive ulnar neuropathy and rotator cuff deficiency, successfully managed with staged surgical intervention in the form of left-sided rotator cuff repair and right-sided reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, demonstrating good functional outcomes at over 2-year follow-up.

Reverse Hill-Sachs lesions pose a complex challenge in the acute management of posterior shoulder dislocations, often resulting in joint incongruity and compromised function. This article describes a surgical technique for the anatomical reduction and fixation of humeral head impaction injuries, aiming to restore the native sphericity of the articular surface and optimize joint stability. The proposed technique enables the precise realignment of the humeral cartilage and subchondral bone, thereby minimizing residual deformity and preserving the biomechanical integrity of the glenohumeral joint.

Purpose: Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the humeral head is a relatively frequent complication after proximal humerus fractures (PHF), often leading to poor outcomes and reoperation. This study investigates both non-modifiable (fracture type, trauma energy, age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index) and modifiable (surgical access, bone graft use, reduction quality) risk factors for post-operative AVN in Neer 3-4-part PHFs.
Methods: Patients with Neer 3-4-part PHFs treated using angular stable plates and followed for at least 6 months were included.

Introduction: To minimize the complications associated with proximal humerus open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), various augmentation strategies have been utilized to manage humeral head bone loss. The purpose of the study is to report clinical and patient reported outcomes of calcium sulfate hydroxyapatite bio-composite bone void filler augmentation of proximal humerus ORIF.
Methods: A prospective cohort of patients who sustained a proximal humerus fracture (PHF) treated with ORIF were collected between 2022-2024.
