Glenohumeral Arthropathy After Arthroscopic Surgery for Shoulder Instability: Outcomes at 16-Year Follow-up.

Background: Glenohumeral arthropathy after surgery for traumatic shoulder instability is a condition whose etiology and long-term course are still unknown.

Purpose: To evaluate the risk factors for the onset of arthropathy and to assess the relationship between the degree of arthropathy and final outcomes.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty in complex fractures of the proximal humerus: results after 7 years of follow-up.

Background: There is still little information about the long-term results of clinical and radiological evolution in patients older than 65 years with complex proximal humerus fractures (CPHF) treated acutely with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The aim of this paper was to evaluate function and results 7 years after surgery.

Material And Methods: A prospective cross-sectional cohort study was designed for this purpose.

[Pain evolution in patients with central sensitization and osteoarthritis after knee arthroplasty].

Introduction: In patients with knee osteoarthritis, a group of 30% has been identified with central pain sensitization (CPS). The aim is to analyze the persistence of CPS in patients after knee arthroplasty and its correlation with pain intensity, functionality, determining factors and to evaluate physical examination as an assessment instrument.

Material And Methods: Quasi-experimental before-after study of patients operated on total knee arthroplasty.

Is obesity related with periprosthetic fractures around the knee?

Purpose: Periprosthetic fracture (PPF) is a devastating complication following primary total knee arthroplasty. Obesity is currently considered a risk factor for many complications in orthopaedics, but there is no evidence in literature about the relationship between obesity and PPF around the knee. The objective of this study was to determine whether obesity is associated with a higher incidence of PPF.
