Background: Stemless humeral prostheses have been recently introduced. We measured for the first time their in vitro primary stability and analyzed the influence of three clinically important parameters (bone quality, implant size and post-operative loading) on micromotion. We also assessed if displacement sensors are appropriate to measure implant micromotion.
Methods: A stemless humeral implant (Sidus® Stem-Free Shoulder, Zimmer GmbH, Winterthur, Switzerland) was implanted in 18 cadaveric humeri. Three-dimensional motion of the implant was measured under dynamic loading at three load magnitudes with displacement sensors. Additionally, the relative motion at the bone-implant interface was measured with an optical system in four specimens.
Results: Micromotion values derived from the displacement sensors were significantly higher than those measured by the optical system (P<0.005). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that bone density (P<0.0005) and load (P<0.0001) had a significant effect on implant micromotion, however the effect of implant size was not statistically significant (P=0.123).
Interpretation: Micromotion of this stemless design was shown to be significantly dependent on cancellous bone density. Patients must therefore have adequate bone quality for this procedure. The influence of load magnitude on micromotion emphasizes the need for controlled post-operative rehabilitation. Measurements with displacement sensors overestimate true interface micromotion by up to 50% and correction by an optical system is strongly recommended.

Background: This study aimed to determine the revision outcome between a centrally fixed stemless anatomic design and other total anatomic shoulder replacements using data from a large national arthroplasty registry.
Methods: The study period was from December 2011 to December 2022 and included three cohorts; primary Affinis stemless anatomic (AFS), all other primary total stemless anatomic (sTSA) and primary total stemmed anatomic shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). The endpoint was all-cause revision using cumulative percent revision (CPR).
Humeral Stem Design in Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Purpose Of The Review: There have been tremendous modifications to the humeral component since Paul Grammont first introduced the reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in 1985. The purpose of this article is to review historical design features and their drawbacks and to summarize the clinical outcomes of modern designs.
Recent Findings: Decreasing the neck-shaft angle and increasing humeral lateralization have helped address problems of scapular notching and limited internal and external rotation that were common with traditional designs.

Periprosthetic joint infection represents a devastating complication after total elbow arthroplasty. Several measures can be implemented before, during, and after surgery to decrease infection rates, which exceed 5%. Debridement with antibiotics and implant retention has been reported to be successful in less than one-third of acute infections, but still plays a role.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how well the proximal humerus adapts to stress shielding after patients undergo stemless total shoulder arthroplasty from 2010 to 2020.
- A total of 115 patients were reviewed with a median follow-up of 3.5 years, revealing that only 17% experienced stress shielding, primarily mild to severe cases without significant clinical impact.
- The results indicated no correlation between stress shielding and various factors like gender, body mass index, or post-operative outcomes, suggesting that the procedure is generally safe with low rates of complications.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed shoulder arthroplasty procedures from a national registry to evaluate revision rates for osteoarthritis, focusing on the best options for men and women.
- Three types of shoulder arthroplasties were compared: stemless shoulder arthroplasty (slTSA), stemmed shoulder arthroplasty (stTSA), and cementless reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), with cumulative percent revision (CPR) calculated over a 7-year period.
- Results indicated that while all methods had similar revision rates, rTSA showed significantly lower rates than slTSA after 9 months; gender also played a role, with women experiencing lower revision rates than men for stTSA and rT
