Long-term (minimum 10 years) survival and outcomes of pyrocarbon interposition shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: There are some major controversies surrounding the use and longevity of pyrocarbon interposition shoulder arthroplasty (PISA). The objective of this study was to investigate the long-term survival and outcomes (minimum 10-year) following PISA for osteoarthritis (OA) in young and active patients.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data of patients who underwent PISA (InSpyre; Tornier-Stryker) for OA between 2009 and 2012.

Restoration of internal rotation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty may vary depending on etiology in patients younger than 60 ​years of age: a multicenter retrospective study.

Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) offers promising functional outcomes for young patients, yet challenges persist in restoring internal rotation (IR). This study aimed to assess the restoration of IR after RSA in patients younger than 60 years of age and analyze the factors affecting IR recovery.

Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted, examining the functional outcome of patients who underwent RSA, with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years.

Glenoid lateralization and subscapularis repair are independent predictive factors of improved internal rotation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Purpose: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has shown improvement in clinical outcomes for various conditions, although some authors expressed concern about the restoration of active internal rotation (AIR). The current study assesses preoperative and intraoperative predictive factors of AIR in patients having a Grammont-style RSA with a minimum five year follow-up.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective multicentric study, including patients operated on with a 155° Grammont-style RSA for cuff-related pathology or primary osteoarthritis with posterior subluxation or an associated cuff tear.

Long-term results of revision rotator cuff repair for failed cuff repair: a minimum 10-year follow-up study.

Hypothesis: Rotator cuff repair remains associated with high retear rates, which range from 13% to 79%. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and structural results after revision rotator cuff repair at a minimum 10-year follow-up.

Methods: We retrospectively studied the records of all patients who underwent revision rotator cuff repair in 3 different institutions between July 2001 and December 2007 with a minimum 10-year follow-up.

Preoperative Planning for Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Does the Clinical Range of Motion Match the Planned 3D Humeral Displacement?

Introduction: The functional outcome after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is closely linked to how much the humerus shifts because of the implants. While two-dimensional (2D) angle measurements have been used to capture this shift, it can be measured in three dimensions (3D) as the arm change position (ACP). In a previous study, the ACP was measured using 3D preoperative planning software with the passive virtual shoulder range of motion obtained after RSA.

After failed radial head arthroplasty, what are the options? Risk factors and results of revisions in a multicenter study.

Introduction: Few multicenter studies have analyzed the outcome of revision surgery of radial head arthroplasties (RHA) in the medium term follow up. The objective is twofold: to determine the factors associated with revision of RHAs and to analyze the results of revision with 2 surgical techniques: isolated removal of the RHA or revision with a new RHA (R-RHA).

Hypothesis: There are associated factors of RHA revision and RHA revision results in satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes.

Arthroscopic advancement of the supraspinatus muscle and tendon for posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears.

The tension-free repair of retracted supraspinatus tears with the open muscle and tendon advancement technique first described by Debeyre in 1965 gave satisfactory clinical results. The purpose of this anatomical study was to test the feasibility of an arthroscopic supraspinatus advancement technique. A total of 10 cadaveric shoulders were operated.

Long-term outcomes of coracoid bone block osteolysis: case report.

Latarjet procedure is reliable and reproductible procedure for treatment of anterior shoulder instability. Results are durable but complications can occur: neurological injury, non-union, infection, stiffness, osteolysis of coracoid bone block, recurrence of dislocation, osteoarthritis. We present the case of two patients with complication not described in the literature: osteolysis of the neck of the scapula around screws discovered at 8 and 20 years after initial surgery.

Midterm results of pyrocarbon interposition shoulder arthroplasty: good outcomes after posttraumatic osteonecrosis without malunion of the tuberosities.

Background: In vitro data demonstrate the potential benefits of the pyrocarbon as a bearing material against cartilage or bone. And pyrocarbon-free interposition arthroplasty has been used with positive outcomes for over 10 years for hand and wrist joint replacements. This study reports the midterm results of a Pyrocarbon Interposition Shoulder Arthroplasty (PISA) in primary and secondary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and in avascular osteonecrosis.

Survivorship of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty According to Indication, Age and Gender.

Background. The indications for reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have been widely expanded, but only a few studies report the long-term survival of these implants. Our objective was to report the long-term survivorship of a large series of RSAs implanted for different etiologies.

Clinical results and radiological bony adaptations on a cementless short-stem prosthesis - A comparative study between anatomical and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Introduction: Although the use of short stem and stemless shoulder prosthesis is trending, the surgical outcome may vary due to varying biomechanics. Objectives were to evaluate and compare the short-term clinical results and radiological changes between anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse TSA (rTSA) with a short-stem humeral design.

Hypothesis: There is no clinical and radiological difference between TSA and rTSA using a short-stem humeral design.

The arm change position: Additional information for optimizing range of motion after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Introduction: The arm change position (ACP) is a new parameter for evaluating the humerus' 3D displacement following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) during 3D pre operative planning. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between ACP variations after RSA and simulated passive joint mobility. The assumption is that the ACP will to help optimize the passive joint mobility of a RSA implant.

Preoperative planning of baseplate position in reverse shoulder arthroplasty: Still no consensus on lateralization, version and inclination.

Introduction: In the context of reverse shoulder arthroplasty, some parameters of glenoid baseplate placement follow established golden rules, while other parameters still have no consensus. The assessment of glenoid wear in the future location of the glenoid baseplate varies among surgeons. The objective of this study was to analyze the inter-observer reproducibility of glenoid baseplate 3D positioning during virtual pre-operative planning.

Does isolated arthroscopic anterior acromioplasty modify critical shoulder angle?

Introduction: Critical shoulder angle (CSA)>35° correlates significantly with primary rotator cuff tear and re-tear after repair. Acromial axial orientation varies between individuals. The present study aimed to assess the impact of strictly anterior acromioplasty on CSA.

CT-based volumetric assessment of rotator cuff muscle in shoulder arthroplasty preoperative planning.

Aims: The aim of this study was to describe a quantitative 3D CT method to measure rotator cuff muscle volume, atrophy, and balance in healthy controls and in three pathological shoulder cohorts.
