In 2020, the most common treatment for presumed aseptic non-union of the humeral shaft seems to be decortication, often associated with bone autografting, and stabilized by a screw plate. We propose to evaluate an original technique of rigid osteosynthesis combining intramedullary nailing and screw plate. Between January 2004 and January 2020, 45 patients underwent treatment of presumed aseptic non-union of the humeral shaft by osteosynthesis combining intramedullary nailing and a screw plate.

This study aimed to explore the epidemiology and risk factors of shoulder PJI in patients aged 60 and younger, analyze treatment options, and evaluate outcomes after 1-year follow-up. In this retrospective multicentric observational study, data from 1404 shoulders in patients under 60 who underwent primary shoulder arthroplasty were analyzed.

Methods: In total, 501 shoulders (483 patients) who underwent RSA, by anterosuperior (AS, n = 88) or deltopectoral (DP, n = 413) approach. Preoperative and immediate postoperative anteroposterior and scapular Y-view radiographs were used to measure: Inclination of the supraspinatus fossa's floor relative to the horizontal (Sigma angle), inclination of the glenoid fossa line (or glenoid baseplate surface) relative to the horizontal (beta-h angle) or to the supraspinatus fossa's floor (beta-s angle).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how variations in femoral structure and component fitting affect the short-term success of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using fully hydroxyapatite-coated femoral components.
- Researchers analyzed data from 183 THA patients, focusing on factors like femoral morphology and canal fill ratio (CFR) to see how they impacted osseointegration and hip function at the two-year mark.
- Results showed that femurs with inadequate proximal filling had poorer radiological outcomes, underscoring the importance of proper femoral component sizing for better surgical results.
Introduction: Arthroscopy training using a virtual reality (VR) simulator is said to improve the training of orthopedic surgery residents, although it has never been evaluated in a large representative population of first-year residents.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that first-year residents who train on a VR simulator would improve their basic arthroscopy skills more than residents who use other training methods. The primary aim was to compare various arthroscopy-learning techniques after 6 months of training.
