Reverse shoulder arthroplasty in revision surgery-Indications and results.

PLoS One

January 2025

Division of Arthroscopic and special Joint Surgery / Sports Injuries, Department of Orthopedics, Trauma and Plastic Surgery, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany.

Background: The number of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) procedures performed worldwide has increased over the last 10 years, with a corresponding increase in revision shoulder arthroplasty (SRSA). SRSA is often used for post-traumatic revision surgery in cases of infections and failure of anatomical prostheses. Data on outcomes with specific detail for each indication for the prosthetic solution as a secondary treatment are scarce, and inhomogeneous.

Studies in literature discussed the drawbacks of the ureteral access sheath use in flexible ureteroscopy and in the same time mentioned the benefits of ureteral access sheath in decreasing the incidence of urosepsis and better stone free rate. In the current study we aim to compare between percutaneous nephrostomy tube (PCN) insertion before flexible ureteroscopy and conventional ureteral access sheath (UAS) flexible ureteroscopy in terms of safety, efficacy and perioperative outcomes. In all, 100 Patients aged 20 to 67 years with upper ureteric stones and mild hydronephrosis or renal pelvic stones less than 20 mm with mild hydronephrosis were randomized into 2 groups; patients undergoing PCN insertion before flexible ureteroscopy, and patients undergoing the conventional UAS flexible ureteroscopy.

Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is an increasingly common challenge for arthroplasty surgeons. The survivorship of rTKA is significantly lower than that of primary total knee arthroplasty, resulting in increasing numbers of repeat rTKA. These repeat rTKAs present unique challenges including potentially massive bone loss and increased risk of infection.

Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is an increasingly common challenge for arthroplasty surgeons. The survivorship of rTKA is significantly lower than that of primary total knee arthroplasty, resulting in an increasing incidence of repeat rTKA. These cases present multifactorial challenges including the skin and soft-tissue envelopes, bone loss, ligamentous compromise, and often a history of periprosthetic joint infection.

Article Synopsis
  • Limb salvage surgery is now the main treatment for patients with malignant tumors in the limbs and pelvis.
  • Endoprostheses are the primary option for reconstructing the limb after tumor removal, known for being modular, cost-effective, and durable.
  • Managing infections in endoprostheses requires a tailored approach based on various factors, highlighting the need for a clear framework for assessment and treatment.
