Poor clinical outcomes and high rates of dislocation after modular reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humeral oncologic resection.

Purpose: The shoulder is the most common site for upper extremity tumors. The aim of the study was to analyze the outcomes and the complications of modular reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) after proximal humerus resection.

Methods: We retrospectively included 15 consecutive patients who underwent a modular MUTARS™ RSA reconstruction after proximal humerus tumour resection between 2017 and 2020.

Recovery of leg strength based on isokinetic testing after tumor resection and reconstruction with a modular rotating hinge knee system: Prospective cross-sectional study with a minimum follow-up of 24 months.

Background: While modular reconstruction implants can be used to replace the bone lost after bone tumor resection, tumor excision from the neighboring soft tissues can lead to loss of strength and joint range of motion (ROM), which results in worse knee function. Functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis has been extensively documented. But few studies have evaluated the recovery after total knee reconstruction following tumor excision despite the fact that most of these patients are young and have high functional demands.

Long-term prevalence and impact of glenohumeral osteoarthritis after Latarjet-Patte procedure for anterior instability.

Introduction: The Latarjet procedure provides satisfactory functional results, with low rates of recurrence. It is, however, sometimes claimed to induce osteoarthritis due to the positioning of the bone-block and hardware. The aims of the present study were to assess the long-term prevalence of osteoarthritis following the procedure, to determine risk factors and assess clinical impact.

A low teres minor index of trophicity negatively impacts the functional outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Introduction: The teres minor (TM) participates in active external rotation (ER) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The TM index of trophicity (T2/G) measured on CT scan is a predictor of poor results in patients who have irreparable rotator cuff tears. The aim of this study was to evaluate how T2/G impacts the functional outcomes of RSA in the context of massive rotator cuff tears.

Arthroscopic Bankart Repair Versus Immobilization for First Episode of Anterior Shoulder Dislocation Before the Age of 25: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The risk of recurrence after the first episode of anterior shoulder dislocation is high with nonoperative treatment in younger patients.

Purpose/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to compare the results of arthroscopic Bankart repair and nonoperative treatment for shoulder dislocation in patients younger than 25 years, with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. The hypothesis was that surgery would decrease the risk of recurrence.

Surgical management of proximal femoral metastasis: Fixation or hip replacement? A 309 case series.

Introduction: The proximal femur is the most frequent operative site for metastasis, but there is no consensus between internal fixation and hip replacement. The present multicenter retrospective observational study sought: (1) to compare early clinical results between internal fixation and hip replacement for proximal femoral metastasis (PFM), and (2) to assess events affecting survival.

Hypothesis: The study hypothesis was that internal fixation and hip replacement give comparable clinical results, operative site complications rates and survival.

Functional results and survival after surgery for peripheral skeletal metastasis: A 434-case multicenter retrospective series.

Introduction: Peripheral skeletal metastasis (PSM) has a negative impact on quality of life. New treatments for the primary tumor or the osteolysis hold out hope of improved survival. The few published French series were small, and we therefore undertook a multicenter retrospective analysis of PSM surgery between 2005 and December 2016, with the aim of assessing: 1) rate and type of complications, 2) functional results, and 3) overall survival and corresponding risk factors.

Clinical and radiological outcomes of 17 reverse shoulder arthroplasty cases performed after failed humeral head resurfacing.

Introduction: Despite the good outcomes with shoulder resurfacing procedures reported by some authors, our team has documented several failures caused by glenoid erosion and rotator cuff rupture, likely due to implant overstuffing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) performed after failed humeral head resurfacing (HHR).

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study of 17 patients who underwent RSA after failed HHR between January 2011 and February 2016.

The adult cavus foot.

Cavovarus deformity can be classified by the severity of malalignment ranging from a subtle and flexible to a severe and fixed cavovarus deformity of the foot.In the mild cavovarus foot, careful clinical assessment is required to identify the deformity.Weight-bearing radiographs are necessary to indicate the apex of the deformity and quantify the correction required.

[The surgical treatment of metastases in the appendicular skeleton].

The orthopedic surgical treatment of metastases is very important in the treatment of osteophile cancers. The surgical option is always proposed after a multidisciplinary decision. The main risk of the metastases is the pathological fracture.
