High Rate of Union of Scaphoid Pseudoarthrosis Treated With Arthroscopic Olecranon Bone Graft Using Antegrade Percutaneous Headless Compression Screw.

Purpose: To assess the healing rate of scaphoid pseudoarthrosis treated with wrist arthroscopy, olecranon bone graft, and anterograde screw fixation, as well as evaluate complications and clinical and radiologic outcomes.

Methods: All patients with scaphoid nonunion were selected between January 2017 and December 2022. Inclusion criteria were patients between 18 and 60 years of age, a diagnosis of scaphoid pseudoarthrosis, complete clinical patient-reported outcomes, radiographic measurements, and at least a 1-year follow-up.

Outcomes of cementless joint prosthesis versus tendon interposition for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis: a prospective study.

We compared 84 patients with the Ivory trapeziometacarpal prosthesis versus 62 with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition arthroplasty performed for osteoarthritis. There were 134 women and 12 men with a mean age of 60 years. Prospective clinical assessment was made using the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, visual analogue scale for pain, range of motion, and grip and pinch strength.

Indirect Scapholunate Ligament Repair: All Arthroscopic.

The arthroscopic technique most frequently used in acute scapholunate instability is reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires. To repair the injured ligament, open surgery and dorsal capsular plication are recommended, but this procedure has the risk of damaging secondary dorsal stabilizers, the dorsal blood supply, and the proprioceptive innervation of the posterior interosseous nerve. In this report, we present an all-arthroscopic technique of a dorsal reconstruction of the scapholunate interosseous ligament for scapholunate instability using a tape by tethering the scaphoid to the lunate.

Outcomes of Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Proximal Humeral Fractures: Primary Arthroplasty Versus Secondary Arthroplasty After Failed Proximal Humeral Locking Plate Fixation.

Objective: To compare the outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) between patients with failed proximal humeral locking plate (PHLP) fixation and those with acute fractures.

Design: Matched case-control study.

Setting: University hospital, Level I trauma center.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for acute proximal humeral fractures. A blinded, randomized, controlled, prospective study.

Background: There is no consensus on what type of arthroplasty is best for the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients. The purpose of this prospective study was to compare the outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA).

Methods: Sixty-two patients older than 70 years were randomized to RSA (31 patients) and HA (31 patients).
