Restoration of the joint geometry after stemless shoulder arthroplasty.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate restoration of anatomy following Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) with the Mathys Affinis Short prosthesis.

Background: Over the last decade stemless shoulder arthroplasty has increased in popularity. One of the reported advantages of the stemless designs is the ability to restore anatomy following surgery.

It is time to define an organizational model for the prevention and management of infections along the surgical pathway: a worldwide cross-sectional survey.

Background: The objectives of the study were to investigate the organizational characteristics of acute care facilities worldwide in preventing and managing infections in surgery; assess participants' perception regarding infection prevention and control (IPC) measures, antibiotic prescribing practices, and source control; describe awareness about the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and IPC measures; and determine the role of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic on said awareness.

Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted contacting 1432 health care workers (HCWs) belonging to a mailing list provided by the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery. The self-administered questionnaire was developed by a multidisciplinary team.
