Background: Displaced humeral shaft fractures are frequently treated by osteosynthesis in the active patient. We aimed to evaluate the results of intramedullary nailing (IMN) in the lateral position with the Neviaser approach and to compare them with those from IMN nailing in the standard position and conventional approach.
Methods: In the retrospectively evaluated, single-center study, we compared 20 cases of long IMN for fractures of the proximal or middle third of the humerus shaft (Multilock; Synthes Laboratory) in the lateral position with the percutaneous Neviaser approach with 52 cases of IMN in the standard position.
Background: Inferior glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) can cause disabling pain in hemiplegics. Conservative treatments have not been proven to be effective or maintained over time. A few studies have shown the benefits of surgical treatment.

The hand is a rare site for aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs). Depending on their degree of invasiveness, treatment of ABCs ranges from medical therapy to surgical curettage and bone filling. In the most advanced cases, bone resection and reconstruction, with or without adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment, are indicated.

In the case of failure of medical treatment by orthosis or electrical stimulation, surgical treatment of suspensionplasty has been described with good results. We describe here an arthroscopic technique of glenohumeral suspensionplasty by tenodesis of the biceps, proposed in the context of a painful glenohumeral subluxation in patients with hemiplegia.

The kind of arthroplasty chosen is mainly based on the evaluation of the rotator cuff and the type of glenoid. The aim of this study was to analyze the scapulohumeral arch in primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis (PGHOA) with an uninjured cuff and to determine whether posterior humeral subluxation influences the Moloney line, which corresponds to an intact scapulohumeral arch.

X-rays and computed tomography showed a four-part glenohumeral fracture-dislocation with a subcutaneous ectopic location of the humeral head in the retroclavicular space. A reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was performed using a deltopectoral approach with direct superior extraction of the humeral head.

Very few series in the literature have looked at postoperative quality of life and emotional acceptance, particularly in the case of scapulectomy without reconstruction. The objective is to assess the midterm results of scapulectomies in terms of function, quality of life, and acceptance for the patient.

Methods: A literature search was performed using five electronic databases. Results were discussed as a chronologic review of the relevant literature between 1920 and 2022.

Introduction: Shoulder pain associated with tendinopathy of the long head of biceps (LHB) is common. Surgical treatment with arthroscopic tenotomy of the LHB has been shown to be effective. However, it's efficacy is inconsistent.

However, few comparative studies assessed the long-term outcomes of DM implants used in Kerboull-type reinforcement ring constructs for acetabular revision. The present study aimed to compare long-term survivorship, dislocation rates and clinical outcome between DM acetabular implants and conventional single-bearing (SB) implants when cemented in a reinforcement ring.
