Unexpected complication after reverse shoulder arthroplasty: Brachial artery pseudoaneurysm: A case report.

Pseudoaneurysm should be acknowledged as a possible but infrequent postoperative complication after shoulder arthroplasty which could be easily misdiagnosed. It is important that the upper-extremity surgeon suspects this problem in the follow-up assessment for appropriate management. In this paper, we present an unusual case of brachial artery pseudoaneurysm in the early postoperative period after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

[Functional evaluation and quality of life in the follow-up of patients with Charcot arthropathy treated by ankle arthrodesis with a locked retrograde nail].

Introduction: Charcot's arthropathy is a disabling non-infectious, progressive condition characterized by bony and articular destruction in patients with sensory neuropathy. In advanced cases with deformities and ankle instability, it requires a more invasive treatment as an ankle fusion with a retrograde locked intramedullary nail. It is unknown if, in these patients, the functional results of AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) correlate with the quality of life ones from the EuroQol-5D test and the possible postoperative complications.

Trends in prevalence and implant types in the Nova Scotia Joint Database Registry between 2005 and 2021.

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the change in incidence rate of shoulder arthroplasty, indications, and surgeon volume trends associated with these procedures between January 2003 and April 2021 in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada.

Methods: A total of 1,545 patients between 2005 and 2021 were analyzed. Patients operated on between 2003 and 2004 were excluded due to a lack of electronic records.
