Hand Surgery in Indonesia.

The history of hand surgery in Indonesia began with the growing interest in performing a complicated hand surgery. Since the 1970s, hand surgery in Indonesia has made headway, especially when it comes to science and education. The development of hand surgery in Indonesia is not limited to a microsurgery area, but also covers more modern techniques, including reconstruction, minimal invasive surgery, arthroscopy, and various kinds of innovations and developments to overcome the high cost of health, especially medical devices in Indonesia.

Morphology of Humeral Head and Glenoid in Normal Shoulder of Indonesian Population.

Purpose: Shoulder prostheses designed and used around the world may not fit an Asian shoulder. Normal shoulder morphology in Asian population had been reported, ie, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Thai populations, but no data from the Indonesian population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the glenohumeral joint in the normal Indonesian population, identify its normal values, and compare them with those of other populations in the literature.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) versus open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for displaced three-part or four-part proximal humeral fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Despite rapid medical technology development, various challenges exist in three- and four-part proximal humeral fracture (PHF) management. This condition has led to a notably increased use of the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA); however, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is still the most widely performed procedure. Thus, these two modalities are crucial and require further discussion.
