Achievement of the patient acceptable symptom state following total shoulder arthroplasty with nonspherical humeral head and inlay glenoid.

Background: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with a nonspherical humeral head component and inlay glenoid is a bone preserving treatment for glenohumeral arthritis. This study aims to describe minimum two year patient reported outcomes, patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) achievement, and complications following TSA with this prosthesis.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing TSA with nonspherical humeral head and inlay glenoid was performed.

Techniques to Address Humeral Bone Insufficiency During Total Shoulder Arthroplasty With a Nonspherical Humeral Head and Inlay Glenoid.

Total shoulder arthroplasty with a humeral head resurfacing (HHR) component and an inlay glenoid (OVOMotion; Arthrosurface) is a successful treatment option for patients with advanced glenohumeral arthritis, an intact rotator cuff, and adequate proximal humeral bone stock. In patients with poor proximal humeral bone, historically stemmed humeral components have been used instead of HHR. However, strategies can be used to successfully optimize HHR implant fixation in suboptimal bone without converting to stemmed implants or in surgical centers where stemmed prostheses are not available.

Computed Tomography Scan Versus Saline Load Test in the Detection of Traumatic Arthrotomies of the Ankle: A Cadaveric Study.

Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and ability of computed tomography (CT) scan for diagnosing traumatic ankle arthrotomies compared with that of the saline load test (SLT).

Methods: Eleven cadaveric ankles were included in this study. Before intervention, a CT scan was obtained to confirm the absence of intra-articular air.

Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with a nonspherical humeral head and inlay glenoid: 90-day complication profile in the inpatient versus outpatient setting.

Background: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with a nonspherical humeral head component and inlay glenoid is a successful bone-preserving treatment for glenohumeral arthritis. This study aimed to describe the 90-day complication profile of TSA with this prosthesis and compare major and minor complication and readmission rates between inpatient- and outpatient-procedure patients.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing TSA with a nonspherical humeral head and inlay glenoid in the inpatient and outpatient settings by a single surgeon between 2017 and 2022.

Computed Tomography Scan Versus Saline Load Test for Detection of Traumatic Shoulder Arthrotomy: A Cadaveric Study.

Objectives: Traumatic shoulder arthrotomy (TSA) is a rare injury that is commonly detected through saline load test (SLT). There are no studies that have studied the ability of computed tomography (CT) scan to detect a TSA. The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of CT scan to detect a TSA and compare it with the SLT.

Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Surgery in the Morbidly Obese Patient: A Critical Analysis Review.

»: Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥30, is a serious public health concern associated with an increased incidence of stroke, diabetes, mental illness, and cardiovascular disease resulting in numerous preventable deaths yearly.

»: From 1999 through 2018, the age-adjusted prevalence of morbid obesity (BMI ≥40) in US adults aged 20 years and older has risen steadily from 4.7% to 9.

Combined Acetabulum Fracture and Hip Dislocation in an 18-Year-Old Female at 35-Week Gestation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Caring for an injured, pregnant patient can be a management challenge. We report the case of an 18-year-old female who sustained a left acetabulum fracture with a concurrent hip dislocation at 35 weeks' gestation following a motor vehicle accident. Through an interdisciplinary, team-based approach, the patient was guided through obstetric delivery and orthopedic surgical fracture fixation without complication.

microRNA-141 regulates BMI1 expression and induces senescence in human diploid fibroblasts.

Polycomb group protein BMI1 is an important regulator of senescence, aging, and cancer. On one hand, it is overexpressed in cancer cells and is required for self-renewal of stem cells. On the other hand, it is downregulated during senescence and aging.
