Article Abstract
Resurfacing hemiarthroplasty of the femoral head has been recommended as a bone-preserving alternative to total hip arthroplasty for the management of osteonecrosis of the femoral head in the young patient. This case report describes failure of a cemented resurfacing hemiarthroplasty resulting from a fracture through the stem of the implant.

Diagnostic accuracy of preoperative percutaneous synovial biopsy and aspirate compared with open biopsy for prosthetic shoulder infections.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the effectiveness of percutaneous synovial biopsy (PSB) and joint aspiration in diagnosing prosthetic infections in patients undergoing revision shoulder arthroplasty, comparing their results to those from open culture biopsies.
- Conducted across four medical centers with 69 patients, the research found that 19% tested positive for infection with PSB, while 23% tested positive through open biopsy, showing that PSB had lower sensitivity but fairly good specificity.
- Results indicated that while PSB is somewhat reliable, its diagnostic accuracy is limited, highlighted by a 37% sensitivity rate and 81% specificity, and the study also explored how the biopsy location within the shoulder might relate to infection
Stemless anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty in patients under 55 years of age with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis: an analysis of the Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry at 5 years.

Background: Primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis in young patients poses challenging treatment decisions. Arthroplasty options have different failure profiles and implant survivorship patterns. This registry study aims to analyze the cumulative per cent revision (CPR) rate of different types of arthroplasties conducted for primary osteoarthritis in patients below 55 years of age.

Introduction: Increase in the number of primary shoulder arthroplasty has led to an increase in the number of revisions which presents many complex challenges and often has inferior outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Data was collected retrospectively, and patients were classified using Dines classification. Comprehensive case reviews were done to identify preoperative and intra-operative challenges.
Concerns with alumina bipolar hemiarthroplasties compared to metal bipolar hemiarthroplasties when performed for nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Article Synopsis
- A nationwide study examined factors leading to reoperation in hip replacement surgeries for nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), analyzing 7,393 procedures from various types of hip arthroplasties.
- The study found that combined systemic steroid use, excessive alcohol consumption, and the lateral surgical approach increased reoperation risks, while certain modifications in bipolar hemiarthroplasties (BPs) did not improve durability, with alumina ceramic outer heads being the least durable.
- Overall, despite various improvements in BP designs, the study concluded that these changes did not enhance performance, highlighting that factors like patient habits and surgical technique significantly impact surgical outcomes.
Total Shoulder Arthroplasty is associated With Less Pain and Better Functional Outcomes, but Humeral Head Resurfacing may be Preferred in Younger, Higher Demand Patients: A Short-Term Outcomes Study in Patients with Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare short-term outcomes following Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) and Humeral Head Resurfacing (HHR) in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA).
Methods: A retrospective analysis included patients who had undergone either TSA or HHR for GHOA at a single institution. Baseline demographics, complications, range of motion (active forward flexion, FF and active external rotation, ER), visual analog scores (VAS), and Subjective Shoulder Values (SSV) were collected.
