Effectiveness over time of the reverse shoulder prosthesis for acute proximal humeral fracture.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has proven to be an effective surgical procedure for irreparable rotator cuff tears, comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus, and shoulder arthroplasty revision surgeries. We know from the literature that the functional results are good in the short term, but not whether these results remain stable in the long term or, on the contrary, show deterioration in functionality.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the functionality, degree of satisfaction, complications, and prosthesis survival at different cut-off points in patients with complex proximal humerus fractures treated with rTSA, with a minimum postoperative follow-up of 7 years.

Sesamoid Position Change Over 2 Years After Distal Chevron Osteotomy for Moderate to Severe Hallux Valgus: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Sesamoid position change after distal chevron osteotomy for moderate to severe hallux valgus is not well known in the literature. The objective of this study was to determine whether the sesamoid position changed over 2 years after distal chevron osteotomy for moderate to severe hallux valgus.

Methods: Ninety-seven patients who underwent distal chevron osteotomy for moderate to severe hallux valgus were prospectively assessed for 2 years.

Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with a retrograde intramedullary nail: a prospective cohort study at a minimum five year follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate prospectively the functional outcomes of tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis with a contemporary retrograde intramedullary nail after a minimum follow-up of five years.

Methods: Sixty-one patients with a mean age of 51.3 (range, 18-79) years were included in the study.
