Mid-term Results Following Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty and the Role of Navigation in the Management of Glenoid Bone Loss.

Background Inaccurate positioning of the glenoid component has been well described as the most common cause of early failure following a reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Among the latest developments in operative technique, three-dimensional preoperative planning and navigation intraoperative systems have been developed to improve the accuracy of the baseplate positioning during RSA. The primary purpose of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the mid-term results of patients who underwent an elective RSA or for acute highly comminuted proximal humerus fractures.

Two cases of Rapunzel syndrome in adult males.

Trichobezoar are foreign bodies formed from undigested hairs that accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and cause obstruction. Trichobezoar are usually found in the stomach but when the tail of the bezoar extends into the small intestine it is referred to as Rapunzel syndrome. Patients are usually females and have a history of psychiatric illness.

Distance of the fracture from the radiocarpal surface in childhood: does it determine surgical technique? A retrospective clinical study: A STROBE compliant observational study.

Unstable distal metaphyseal and dia-metaphyseal fractures of the radius may have treated with a variety of operative techniques, Kirschner wires (K-wires), dorsally inserted titanium elastic stable intramedullary nailing (DESIN), and short titanium elastic stable intramedullary nailing (SESIN) in children.The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in clinical and radiographic outcomes between these methods.Between January 2009 and December 2017 196 children were treated for forearm fractures in the distal third of the distal radius.
