Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is an attractive alternative option in treating three- or four-part fractures of the proximal humerus. The main goal of the current study was to evaluate the functional and radiographic results after primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty of three- or four-part fractures of the proximal humerus in patients older than 75 years old. Between 2008 and 2010, 29 consecutive patients with a three- or four-part fracture of the proximal humerus undergoing a reversed shoulder prosthesis were included.

Methods: Thirty-seven eyes of 37 patients implanted with a myopic ICL and 26 eyes of 26 patients implanted with a toric ICL were examined using Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT) in photopic (257 lux) and mesopic (2 lux) conditions. Pupil diameter and distance changes between the ICL and adjacent intraocular structures were measured.
The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of twenty isolated type II SLAP lesions which were repaired arthroscopically using a two-portal technique. Shoulder function was evaluated at a mean follow-up of 2 years using the modified Constant-Murley score. The average preoperative score was 65.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: Seventy-seven eyes of 77 myopic patients were examined after implantation with an ICL (48 myopic, 29 toric).
