Modular baseplate augmentation: a simple and effective method for addressing eccentric glenoid wear.

Background: Augmented baseplates can be effective at addressing eccentric glenoid wear in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. However, these implants often come in a limited number of predetermined shapes that require additional reaming to ensure adequate glenoid seating. This typically involves complex instrumentation and can have a negative impact on implant stability.

Plasma metabolomics pilot study suggests age and sex-based differences in the metabolic response to traumatic injury.

Introduction: Age and sex affect outcomes from trauma. Older patients tend to be under-triaged, consume more healthcare resources, and experience worse outcomes relative to younger patients. Sex has also been associated with different outcomes, with women experiencing better outcomes than men.
