Background: The hypothesis of this study is that cement pressurization into the glenoid reduces the rate of radiolucent lines in total shoulder arthroplasty in the mean 25.5 months after the operation.
Methods: To examine this effect, a multicentric prospective randomized study (level of evidence 1) was initiated: one group (group P, n = 24) received intraoperative pressurization of cement into the cancellous bone of the glenoid, the other cement without pressure (group NoP, n = 27). Inclusion criteria were an osteoarthritis with glenoid erosion <15° and an intact rotator cuff.
Results: There were no significant differences preoperatively between the groups regarding age (mean age 66 ± 10 years (range 44-81)), gender, range of motion, scores and pathomorphology. Both groups had a significant improvement of the scores, strength, motion and satisfaction 25.5 months after the intervention. The scores were similar between the groups (ns). However, cement pressurization at the glenoid side significantly reduced the incidence of radiolucent lines (p < 0.027).
Conclusion: This supports the use of this simple technique to improve long-term survival of total shoulder arthroplasty. 1.

Mid-term outcomes after primary total hip arthroplasty with a cemented short stem in an elderly patient cohort.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Ospedale Civile Maggiore Di Borgo Trento, University of Verona, Piazzale Aristide Stefani, 1, 37126, Verona, VR, Italy.
Purpose: The main objective of this prospective study was to assess clinical, radiographic and safety mid-term outcomes after THA with a short cemented stem in an elderly patient cohort. Moreover, the study aimed at investigating the mid-term survivorship of the implant and the incidence of complications.
Methods: 96 consecutive patients (100 cases) underwent THA with a short cemented stem.
Mid-term radiographic evaluation of a monoblock trabecular metal tibia following total knee arthroplasty in obese and morbidly obese patients.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Henry Community Health, 2200 Forest Ridge Parkway, New Castle, IN47362, USA.
Background: Indications for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have become more inclusive of morbidly obese patients, however, higher rates of complications and lower implant survival have also been reported in this population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mid-term survival, clinical, and radiographic outcomes of a cementless trabecular metal monoblock tibial component in severely obese patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of class II and III obese (BMI > 35) patients who received a cementless primary TKA.
Survivorship and Functional Outcomes After Complex Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty With Contemporary Rotating-Hinge Implants.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY, USA.
Initial fixed-bearing hinge designs for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) had high rates of aseptic loosening. There are limited data on contemporary rotating-hinge implants. : We sought to determine survivorship and functional outcomes of contemporary rotating-hinge implants used in primary TKA.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Cantonal Hospital Thurgau, Pfaffenholzstrasse 4, 8501, Frauenfeld, Switzerland.
Purpose: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a common surgical procedure for elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures. Cement fixation of the humeral stem is considered the gold standard for this procedure. Due to the high prevalence of osteoporosis in this patient population, the risk of intraoperative fractures is increased when uncemented stems are used.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on ceramic-on-metal hip replacements originally performed from 2007 to 2009 to assess their long-term outcomes after 5.8 and 10.1 years.
- The revision rates increased from 3.1% at six years to 8.8% at ten years, with a notable rise in pain scores and decline in overall hip function during that time.
- The findings revealed significant issues like increased radiolucent lines in X-rays and higher metal ion levels, indicating that the survival rate for these implants dropped to 91.2%, below the recommended threshold, raising concerns for future implant designs.
