The aim of this study was to longitudinally compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) up to long-term follow-up, when using cemented keel, cemented peg, and hybrid cage peg glenoid components and the same humeral system. We retrospectively analyzed a multicentre, international clinical database of a single platform shoulder system to compare the short-, mid-, and long-term clinical outcomes associated with three designs of aTSA glenoid components: 294 cemented keel, 527 cemented peg, and 981 hybrid cage glenoids. Outcomes were evaluated at 4,746 postoperative timepoints for 1,802 primary aTSA, with a mean follow-up of 65 months (24 to 217).Aims
Methods
We studied the impact of direct anterior (DA) A total of 6086 consecutive patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a single institution between 2013 and 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. Data obtained from electronic patient medical records included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), medical comorbidities, surgical approach, and presence of deep PJI. There were 3053 male patients (50.1%) and 3033 female patients (49.9%). The mean age and BMI of the entire cohort was 62.7 years (18 to 102, Aims
Patients and Methods
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative bisphosphonate treatment on the intra- and postoperative outcomes of arthroplasty of the shoulder. The hypothesis was that previous bisphosphonate treatment would adversely affect both intra- and postoperative outcomes. A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients undergoing arthroplasty of the shoulder, at a single institution. Two patients with no previous bisphosphonate treatment were matched to each patient who had received this treatment preoperatively by gender, age, race, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and type of arthroplasty. Previous bisphosphonate treatment was defined as treatment occurring during the three-year period before the arthroplasty. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of intraoperative complications and those occurring at one and two years postoperatively. A total of 87 patients were included: 29 in the bisphosphonates-exposed (BP+) group and 58 in the non-exposed (BP-) group. In the BP+ group, there were 26 female and three male patients, with a mean age of 71.4 years (51 to 87). In the BP- group, there were 52 female and six male patients, with a mean age of 72.1 years (53 to 88).Aims
Patients and Methods
The factors that predispose to recurrent instability and revision
stabilization procedures after arthroscopic Bankart repair for anterior
glenohumeral instability remain unclear. We sought to determine
the rate and risk factors associated with ongoing instability in
patients undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair for instability
of the shoulder. We used the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System
(SPARCS) database to identify patients with a diagnosis of anterior
instability of the shoulder undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair
between 2003 and 2011. Patients were followed for a minimum of three
years. Baseline demographics and subsequent further surgery to the ipsilateral
shoulder were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was used to identify
independent risk factors for recurrent instability.Aims
Materials and Methods
Depression can significantly affect quality of life and is associated
with higher rates of medical comorbidities and increased mortality
following surgery. Although depression has been linked to poorer
outcomes following orthopaedic trauma, total joint arthroplasty
and spinal surgery, we wished to examine the impact of depression
in elective total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) as this has not been
previously explored. The United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used
to identify patients undergoing elective TSA over a ten-year period.
Between 2002 and 2012, 224 060 patients underwent elective TSA.Aims
Patients and Methods
This study provides recommendations on the position
of the implant in reverse shoulder replacement in order to minimise
scapular notching and osteophyte formation. Radiographs from 151
patients who underwent primary reverse shoulder replacement with
a single prosthesis were analysed at a mean follow-up of 28.3 months
(24 to 44) for notching, osteophytes, the position of the glenoid
baseplate, the overhang of the glenosphere, and the prosthesis scapular
neck angle (PSNA). A total of 20 patients (13.2%) had a notch (16 Grade 1 and four
Grade 2) and 47 (31.1%) had an osteophyte. In patients without either
notching or an osteophyte the baseplate was found to be positioned
lower on the glenoid, with greater overhang of the glenosphere and
a lower PSNA than those with notching and an osteophyte. Female patients
had a higher rate of notching than males (13.3% Based on these findings we make recommendations on the placement
of the implant in both male and female patients to avoid notching
and osteophyte formation. Cite this article:
