Purpose: To compare outcomes, between stemmed and stemless reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) at a minimum follow-up of 5 years.
Methods: The authors retrospectively assessed a consecutive series of 45 patients that underwent RSA between September 2014 and October 2018 (23 stemless and 22 stemmed). All patients underwent plain anteroposterior and scapular Y-view radiographs for assessment immediately post-operatively and at final follow-up.
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes and complications of video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) treatment of chylothorax in cats.
Study Design: Multi-institutional retrospective study.
Animals: Fifteen client-owned cats.
Assessment of intraoperative bleeding in reverse shoulder arthroplasty - with or without a stem.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
May 2022
Introduction: The functional results of stemless reverse shoulder prostheses are similar to those with stems. However, the operative time and the bleeding appear less significant because of the absence of humeral reaming. To date, the data amongst the literature regarding this subject is limited.

- Protein misfolding and aggregation, typically seen as harmful, can actually provide certain bacteria with increased heat resistance after exposure to mild stressors like heat or antibiotics.
- When the stress is removed, these protein aggregates (PAs) can be inherited asymmetrically by daughter cells for many generations, enhancing their ability to withstand future stress.
- This study suggests that PAs may act as a form of long-term epigenetic memory, helping cells to develop resilience against various types of proteotoxic challenges by selectively enriching protective components in the descendants.
Treatment of distal radius fractures with locking plates: an update.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
December 2018
Internal fixation with volar locking plates has revolutionized the treatment of distal radius fractures. Manufacturers have introduced plate designs that closely follow the anatomy of the distal radius. However, use of volar plates has also led to the emergence of new types of complications.

- Bacteria like Escherichia coli typically divide into two identical sister cells, leading to a clonal population.
- However, these sister cells often exhibit significant differences in traits, which can enhance the survival of the population in challenging environments.
- The study found that these differences among sister cells emerge quickly, within the first ten percent of their cell cycle, suggesting that random variations during division help create independent cell behaviors almost immediately after they split.
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of a cementless, trauma-specific locked stem for 3- and 4-part proximal humeral fractures.
Materials And Methods: This study consisted of two parts: a cadaver study with 22 shoulders and a multicenter prospective clinical study of 23 fracture patients evaluated at least 2 years after treatment. In the cadaver study, the locked stem (Humelock(TM), FX Solutions) and its instrumentation were evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is commonly used for complex shoulder fractures, but removing tuberosities leads to decreased rotation and lower patient satisfaction.
- A study reviewed 41 elderly patients, comparing outcomes between those with repaired tuberosities and those with complete excision.
- Results showed that repairing tuberosities significantly improves shoulder motion and function, particularly in external rotation, indicating that anatomical healing is crucial for optimal outcomes.
