Background: Cutibacterium Acnes (C.acnes) has been linked to several shoulder pathologies. An alternative hypothesis suggests it only occurs in the joint secondary to previous instrumentation.

- This study evaluates the effectiveness of stemless humeral components in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) over an average follow-up of 6.67 years, involving 143 procedures in 131 patients, focusing mainly on outcomes for those with osteoarthritis (OA).
- The primary measure, the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), averaged 40.12, showing no significant difference in outcomes between patients with OA and other conditions, and demonstrated substantial improvements in range of motion maintained over the follow-up period.
- Findings indicated that while 28% of analyzed humeral components showed some minor radiolucency, no components were loose, and the overall survivorship rates were high at 96.4% at five years and
Background: Assessment of a painful or stiff shoulder arthroplasty can be challenging. The cause of pain can sometimes be easily identified. However, some patients have normal levels of inflammatory markers, normal plain films, and no clinical signs to indicate a diagnosis.

The 2 implants in this study are specifically designed for the fixation of proximal humeral fractures, and both are based on the concept of fixed-angle locking screws. A reproducible 3-part fracture was created in paired human cadaveric bone and then fixed via the locking screw implants.
