Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and impact of axillary and suprascapular neuropathies in patients with rotator cuff tear arthropathy undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty, finding a high prevalence of these nerve injuries.
- Out of 40 patients studied, 83.9% had nerve injuries, with most showing improvement post-surgery, although chronic injuries were noted; the follow-up average was about 28 months.
- Patients with preoperative neuropathies who did not show neurophysiological improvement six months after surgery had poorer functional outcomes, indicating the need for monitoring nerve recovery post-surgery.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the potential link between baseplate screw penetration and suprascapular neuropathy after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in 31 patients followed for at least 24 months.
- - Electrodiagnostic tests before and after surgery showed that 45% had pre-existing suprascapular nerve injuries, while 19.4% developed new injuries post-surgery, primarily affecting the infraspinatus nerve branch.
- - Findings indicated that 60% of superior screws and 40% of posterior screws penetrated the second bone cortex, with a higher risk of nerve injury associated with screw penetration (40% vs. 9.5%).
Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common hip pathology that causes pain and functional limitation in young patients. subspine femoroacetabular impingement (SFAI) is an increasingly diagnosed extra-articular subtype that occurs from mechanical conflict of the anteroinferior iliac spine (AIIS) with the cervico-diaphyseal junction during hip flexion, which is poorly described in the literature.
Questions/purposes: We aimed to describe the clinical, functional, and radiological results of the arthroscopic treatment of a group of patients with SFAI treated in our Hip Unit.
Background: This study evaluates the clinical outcomes in patients with proximal humerus fractures (PHF) treated with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) as a revision procedure for failed fixation that have more than 5 years of follow-up.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 270 RTSA. The inclusion criteria for this study consisted of patients initially treated with either open reduction and plate fixation (ORIF) or fixation using an intramedullary nail (IMN), who were managed with a single-stage revision to a RTSA, and had a minimum of 24 months clinical and radiological follow-up.
Background: Neurologic pre- and postoperative injuries to the axillary and/or suprascapular nerve (SSN) have a higher incidence than expected and may lead to significantly decreased functional outcomes and increased risk of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) failure.
Methods: Patients who underwent a RSA for rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) were included from December 2014 to December 2015. This study focused on the clinical (Constant score), radiographic, and pre- and postoperative electromyographic evaluations at 3 and 6 months.
Background: The aim of this study was to describe the fracture patterns of capitellum coronal fractures and to evaluate the complications and functional and radiographic outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation in patients older than 65 years.
Methods: A retrospective study of 23 patients with a mean follow-up of 48 months (36-105) was performed. Fractures were classified according to the Dubberley classification.
Introduction-objectives: To describe the incidence, etiological factors, functional impairment and therapeutic management of scapular fractures after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in rotator cuff arthropathy.
Material And Method: A retrospective study was conducted on 126 RSA between 2009 and 2011, in which 4 fractures were identified that were compared with a control group of 40 patients. An analysis was performed on the variables related to the surgical technique, functional results, and quality of life (Constant scale, EQ-5D).
