Reverse shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of three and four part fractures of the proximal humerus in patients older than 75 years old.

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.

Arthroscopic fixation of isolated type II SLAP lesions using a two-portal technique.

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.
