Purpose: Compare functional and radiological outcomes of three different designs of reverse shoulder arthroplasty according to distalization and lateralization shoulder angle, in heterogenic diagnostics (fracture, cuff arthropathy, fracture sequela and osteoarthritis).
Material And Methods: Prospective cohort of 33 patients of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) between December 2014 and July 2017 with a minimum one year of follow-up. We defined three groups, G: 10 patients with Grammont (155o, Medialized Glena), B: 9 patients with Bio-RSA (155º, lateralized bone glena) and A: 14 patients with Arrow (135o, lateralized metallic glena). We analyze demographic, clinical, functional and radiological outcomes (lateralization shoulder angle (LSA) and distalization shoulder angle (DSA)). For the statistical analysis, ANOVA, T-tests and linear regression tests were used, with a statistical significance of 5%.
Results: The LSA was significantly higher in group A (98o A, 79o G, 80o B) (p < 0.05). In DSA, group B was significantly higher than A (52o B, 39o A) (p < 0.05) and not significant to G (48o G) (p = 0.06). There was no correlation of LSA and DSA with external rotation (p = 0.51) and active elevation (p = 0.41), respectively. There was no significant clinical (anterior elevation, external rotation, internal rotation) and functional outcomes (adjusted Constant score and subjective shoulder evaluation) differences between the different RSA models (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: The LSA was higher in the Arrow and the DSA was higher in Bio-RSA. We did not find Clinical - Radiological correlation in this heterogeneous series of patients.

Introduction: The humeral head is the second most common site for osteonecrosis but its epidemiology is poorly described. This study aimed to better understand its treatment in the United States by 1) evaluating total operative procedures with rates normalized to the annual surgical volume; 2) determining trends of non-joint preserving (shoulder arthroplasty) vs. joint preserving procedures; and 3) quantifying rates of operative techniques in different aged cohorts (<50 vs.

Despite aTSA being the mainstay of treatment for patients with glenohumeral arthritis in the absence of rotator cuff insufficiency, there has been an upward trend of rTSA utilization in the elderly due to concerns about rotator cuff integrity, regardless of deformity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes including pain, function, range of motion, satisfaction, and complications in patients 80 years or older following primary anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis without full thickness rotator cuff tears.

Background: Few comparative studies on the correlation between stem length, stem alignment, and/or stress shielding have been conducted in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). This study aimed to investigate the effects of different humeral stem lengths on stem alignment and proximal stress shielding after rTSA.
Methods: A total of 320 patients who underwent primary rTSA from October 2010 to May 2020 with at least 2 years of follow-up (mean follow-up: 32.

Background: Precise and accurate glenoid preparation is important for the success of shoulder arthroplasty. Despite advancements in preoperative planning software and enabling technologies, most surgeons execute the procedure manually. Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) facilitates accurate glenoid guide pin placement for cannulated reaming; however, few commercially available systems offer depth of reaming control.

The Baranyi and Geeraerd models are two of the most reliable models for the description of, respectively, microbial growth and inactivation. They are defined as a system of differential equations, whose algebraic solution can describe the microbial response during isothermal conditions, especially when combined with suitable secondary models. However, there are still large uncertainties regarding the best functions to use as secondary models for the lag phase duration (λ) and the shoulder length (S).
