Published: January 2019

A variety of reasons exist for failure of arthroplasty performed for management of proximal humerus fracture. Revision surgery for these failures is complex and has a high likelihood of inferior outcomes compared with primary arthroplasty. Successful management requires consideration of various modes of failure including tuberosity malunion or resorption, rotator cuff deficiency, glenoid arthritis, bone loss, component loosening, stiffness, or infection. Although revision to a reverse shoulder arthroplasty is an appealing option to address instability, rotator cuff dysfunction, and glenoid arthritis, there are concerns with higher complication rates and inferior results compared with primary reverse replacement. Any treatment plan should appropriately address the cause for failure to optimize outcomes.

Background: Disease progression (DP) of osteosarcomas, albeit with aggressive treatments, hinders improving survival. The DP patterns are unique in low- and middle-income countries like South Africa. We determine the prognostic factors associated with disease progression (DP) of the appendicular skeleton's central high-grade conventional osteosarcoma (COS).

Humerus greater tuberosity (HGT) avulsion fracture is one of the most common types of proximal humerus fractures. The presence of motion and gap lead to the failure of implants, due to the force pulling from the supraspinatus. In this work, electrospinning technology was applied to fabricate PCL-PEG/CS/AST nanofiber with superior biocompatibility and mechanical property.

The most common type of proximal humerus fracture is surgical neck fracture. The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanical mechanism and the effect of bone degeneration on humeral surgical neck fractures. The right humerus finite element models were established based on CT computed tomography.
