Midterm clinical outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis using patient-reported outcome measures (Shoulder36).

Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty normally has adequate functional outcomes in patients with cuff tear arthropathy. The present study aimed to investigate the midterm clinical outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods: Between July 2014 and May 2016, reverse shoulder arthroplasty was performed in 14 rheumatic shoulders with joint destruction and rotator cuff tears.

Long-term follow-up on the use of vascularized fibular graft for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.

Background: Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is one of the most difficult conditions to treat.

Methods: Five girls and 3 boys with CPT were treated by vascularized fibular grafting (VFG). The average age at VFG was 7.
