Short-term comparative outcomes between reverse shoulder arthroplasty for shoulder trauma and shoulder arthritis: a Southeast Asian experience.

Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), first introduced as a management option for cuff tear arthropathy, is now an accepted treatment for complex proximal humeral fractures. Few studies have identified whether the outcomes of RSA for shoulder trauma are comparable to those of RSA for shoulder arthritis.

Methods: This is a retrospective, single-institution cohort study of all patients who underwent RSA at our institution between January 2013 and December 2019.

Outcomes of ultra-old vs old patients after hip fracture surgery: a matched cohort analysis of 1524 patients.

Background: Surgical management of geriatric hip fractures yields improved functional outcomes with decreased morbidity and mortality. Cohort studies have suggested that the older patients within the geriatric age group have worse outcomes with surgery, However, these studies inherently report inflated risks due to poor handling of confounders and have inadequately age-stratified their geriatric population.

Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of age alone on the 1-year mortality and functional status of geriatric patients after hip fracture surgery.

Functional Outcomes of Patients with Schizophrenia After Hip Fracture Surgery: A 1-Year Follow-up from an Institutional Hip Fracture Registry.

Background: Schizophrenia impairs a patient's self-care abilities, which are crucial after a hip fracture. Studies on the outcomes of patients with schizophrenia after a hip fracture are dated. This study aims to investigate the complication rates, 1-year mortality, and functional outcomes of surgically managed hip fractures in elderly patients with schizophrenia.

The Feasibility of Anterior Spinal Access: The Vascular Corridor at the L5-S1 Level for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Objective: To analyze the feasibility of anterior spinal access to the vascular corridor at the L5-S1 junction, by evaluating three crucial anatomical landmarks. This provides a framework for risk-stratification for the clinician during preoperative evaluation.

Reliability of the new modified Moro's classification and oblique corridor grading to assess the feasibility of oblique lumbar interbody fusion.

Introduction: The modified Moro's classification (MMC) of psoas morphology and oblique corridor (OC) grading were recently proposed. Their reliability needs to be tested.

Methods: T2 weighted lumbar disc level axial-cut MRI images of patients with degenerative spondylosis were distributed to five spine surgeons.

The Oblique Corridor at L4-L5: A Radiographic-Anatomical Study Into the Feasibility for Lateral Interbody Fusion.

Study Design: Cross-sectional radioanatomical study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence, size, and location of the oblique corridor (OC), and the morphology of the psoas muscle at the L4-L5 disc level.

Summary Of Background Data: Lateral lumbar interbody fusion via the OC has the advantage of avoiding injury to the psoas muscle and lumbar plexus.
