The hypothesis of a possibly diminished bony ingrowth revealed by the development of radiolucency or a radiodense line with time around a cementless femoral stem subsequent to indomethacin administration for prevention of heterotopic ossification was investigated. Eighty prospective patients with indomethacin prophylaxis were compared with 82 patients without indomethacin prophylaxis chosen retrospectively. The same cementless implant was used in all cases, and patients were observed clinically and radiologically for a minimum of 6 years. The mean postoperative Harris hip score at 6 years was 91 versus 88 points, respectively, and there were significantly more excellent results (Harris hip score > 90) in the indomethacin group. None of the patients underwent revision surgery. Radiologic signs such as loss of bone density and radiodense lines were observed around the shoulder of the prosthesis in a similar percentage in both groups. Significant subsidence of the stem was observed in one instance in the indomethacin group and in three instances in the control group. The results of this study are a strong indication that indomethacin does not influence the development of radiolucency or other radiologic changes around a cementless stem after 6 years.

Stress shielding in reverse shoulder arthroplasty using a proximally coated stem for proximal humeral fractures: Does it have clinical relevance?
Shoulder Elbow

Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Department, Hospital de Terrassa, Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical significance of stress shielding in patients who have undergone an uncemented reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a proximally coated stem for complex proximal humeral fractures (PHF) comprising 3 or 4 parts, assessed at 2 years postoperatively. Additionally, this study aims to examine the correlation between tuberosity healing and clinical outcomes.
Methods: Single Centre.

Short-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) has gained popularity due to its bone-sparing technique, but its outcomes in patients with obesity remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of obesity on postoperative subsidence and clinical outcomes after short-stem THA. A retrospective cohort study with a minimum follow-up of 24 months was conducted on 163 patients who underwent short-stem THA with a collarless, triple-tapered, cementless stem achieving fixation in the metaphyseal region.

Hypothesis And Background: As the incidence of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) continues to rise, better understanding of the long-term risks and complications is necessary to determine the best choice of implant. The majority (75%) of RTSA performed in New Zealand use either SMR (Systema Multiplana Randelli, Lima-LTO, Italy) or Delta Xtend (DePuy Synthes, USA). The aim of this registry-based study was to compare implant survival, risk of revision and reasons for revision between the two most frequently used RTSA prostheses: SMR and Delta Xtend.

Introduction: Thigh pain, aseptic loosening, and failure after total hip arthroplasty has been reported. Therefore, this study examines the impact of femoral stem alignment on periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) in THA using the Avenir Complete cementless stem, focusing on the role of precise stem alignment in maintaining proximal femoral BMD.
Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients who received the Avenir Complete stem via mini anterolateral approach in the supine position between March 2019 and March 2022 were included.
Do Cementless, Collared Stems Prevent Aseptic Loosening, Subsidence, and Periprosthetic Fracture in Total Hip Arthroplasty?

Modern total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful orthopedic procedures performed, utilizing a variety of fixation methods, stem geometry and designs to provide immediate post-operative weight bearing. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of intraoperative periprosthetic fractures, subsidence rates and aseptic loosening between collared stems compared with non-collared tapered stems during THA. A retrospective chart review identified 983 THA cases performed by a single surgeon between 2013-2021.
