Postoperative outcomes of third-generation shoulder hemiarthroplasties for three-and four-part proximal humeral fractures: A systematic review of published studies from 2012 to 2022.

Background: The aim of this study was to provide up-to-date evidence on the outcomes for hemiarthroplasties (HAs) that were performed using modern third-generation prostheses (post-2004) for isolated excluding head-splits and fracture-dislocations) three-and four-part proximal humerus fractures (PHFs).

Methods: PubMed, Medline, Embase and the Cochrane register were searched from January 1, 2012, to November 15, 2022, conforming to the PRISMA guidelines. The outcome measures were the complication rates, revision rates, surgery-related postoperative mortality, post-operative clinical outcome scores and radiological outcomes.

Postoperative outcomes of total elbow replacement in haemophilic elbow arthropathy: A systematic review.

Introduction: Total elbow replacement (TER) is a surgical treatment option for haemophilic elbow arthropathy.

Aim: To review the outcomes of TER in haemophilic elbow arthropathy. The primary outcome measures were perioperative blood loss, postoperative complications, revision rates and length of hospital stay (LOS).

A Novel "Shark-Fin" Pyramidal Achilles Bone-Tendon Allograft Surgical Technique for Delayed Reconstruction of Triceps Tendon Rupture and Review of the Literature.

Purpose: Triceps tendon injuries are rare and often caused by direct trauma to the arm. There are no clear guidelines on the management of these and typically partial tears are treated conservatively whilst full thickness tears are treated with primary surgical repair. We aim to review the literature on the methods for triceps repair and propose a novel surgical technique.

Intermediate to long term results of stemless metaphyseal reverse shoulder arthroplasty: A five to nine year follow-up.

Background: Shoulder arthroplasty incidence is increasing as is the volume of revision surgeries. Revision surgery is easier if humeral bone stock is preserved with minimal bone defects and osteolysis. This has led to an increased focus on the development of various short stemmed and stemless implants which provides stable fixation whilst preserving humeral bone stock.

Use of reverse stemless shoulder arthroplasty in a patient with multiple hereditary exostosis.

Introduction: Multiple hereditary exostosis (MHE) is the formation of benign, cartilage-capped bony outgrowths predominantly extending from the metaphysis of long bones that presents with reduction in growth, deformity, restricted motion, short stature and premature osteoarthritis.

Aim: To review the clinical and radiological results of a stemless reverse shoulder arthroplasty in a case of MHE.

Case: 81-year-old, right hand dominant short-statured retired male engineer with long standing shoulder pain and restricted movements on the background of an old proximal humeral fracture managed conservatively.

Redeployment of the trainee orthopaedic surgeon during COVID-19: a fish out of water?

Background and purpose - COVID-19 has had a significant impact on health services and the entire healthcare sector, including trauma and orthopaedics, has been compelled to adapt. At the heart of this was the redeployment of the orthopaedic trainees to support "frontline specialties". This paper sheds light on the experience of orthopaedic trainees in redeployment.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty with a cementless short metaphyseal humeral prosthesis without a stem: survivorship, early to mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes in a prospective study from an independent centre.

Introduction: The use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has increased for the management of cuff-deficient glenohumeral joint arthritis and fractures. With bone preservation being a major target in reverse shoulder arthroplasty, metaphyseal humeral components without a stem were developed. The aim of this study is to present the survivorship, functional and radiological outcomes of a novel short metaphyseal prosthesis without a diaphyseal stem from an independent centre.

The Risotto sign - a severe inflammatory bursitis with rice body formation, complicating a rotator cuff repair with a bioabsorbable suture anchor.

There is an association between inflammatory bursitis with rice body formation and use of bioabsorbable suture anchors.

Spontaneous displacement of olecranon fracture through geode salvaged by elbow replacement.

We present a case of pathological fracture of olecranon through a giant geode. Fracture was initially undisplaced and was treated conservatively. It later progressed to a transolecranon dislocation as a result of a pseudarthrosis at the fracture site.

The active elevation lag sign and the triangle sign: new clinical signs of trapezius palsy.

Background: Spinal accessory nerve palsy causing trapezius dysfunction can lead to significant disability. Diagnosis is frequently delayed or inaccurate leading to inappropriate treatment.

Methods: We describe new clinical signs for trapezius muscle dysfunction and palsy, and accessory nerve palsy, viz.

Giant cell tumour of the patellar tendon sheath--an unusual cause of anterior knee pain: a case report.

We present a case of a giant cell tumour of the patellar tendon sheath with anterior knee pain. The relevant MRI findings and differential diagnosis of such lesions is discussed here.

Ilizarov ring fixator for a difficult case of ankle syndesmosis disruption.

Syndesmotic stabilization is recommended for tibiofibular diastasis, a Maisonneuve fracture, or syndesmotic instability after fixation of distal tibia-fibula fractures. In the case presented, a syndesmotic stabilization was performed with a screw inserted 2 cm above the tibiotalar joint Subsequent failure occurred due to the weight of the patient and a lack of compliance with the necessary nonweight bearing protocol. The Ilizarov frame was used to reduce and maintain a stable syndesmosis with a simple two-ring construct which allowed the patient to bear weight on the injured limb while his syndesmosis healed.
