Stress shielding in reverse shoulder arthroplasty using a proximally coated stem for proximal humeral fractures: Does it have clinical relevance?

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical significance of stress shielding in patients who have undergone an uncemented reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a proximally coated stem for complex proximal humeral fractures (PHF) comprising 3 or 4 parts, assessed at 2 years postoperatively. Additionally, this study aims to examine the correlation between tuberosity healing and clinical outcomes.

Methods: Single Centre.

Telemedicine approach for patient follow-up after total knee and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: a pilot study.

Purpose: The study aimed to demonstrate the reduction in postoperative follow-up visit time for patients receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) by implementing a novel asynchronous telemedicine system compared to face-to-face visits. The range of motion interobserver agreement and patient satisfaction were evaluated in the telemedicine group.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with a total of 28 patients with a mean age of 71 years (range 13.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with latissimus dorsi and teres major transfer: biomechanical and electromyographical outcomes.

Purpose: There is controversy regarding the optimal treatment for patients with rotator cuff arthropathy with external rotation deficit (CLEER group). This study analyzes the biomechanical and electromyographical outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) with latissimus dorsi and teres major transfer. The primary objective of this study is to compare the biomechanical and electromyographical outcomes between the treated and contralateral shoulder.
