Introduction: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) complication rates range between 1.4% and 28% depending on the nature of the indication. Even though glenosphere dissociation is the third most frequent complication after RSA, with an incidence that can rise to just over 12%, there is no evidence in the literature describing the disassembly between the humeral stem and its metaphysics.

Case Report: It is reported a novel early failure type in a reversed shoulder arthroplasty of a healthy 72-year-old female patient, involving the disassembly of the metaphysis from an onlay tray system due to cement interposition in a reversed shoulder prosthesis.

Conclusion: This case highlights a rare form of early failure after RSA as a result of a disassembly between the humeral stem and its metaphysis due to the presence of interposed cement. To prevent this complication, a two-step implantation procedure is recommended, which consists of cementing the stem before inserting the metaphyseal tray.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates using artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning models (DLMs), to accurately identify radiographic landmarks before and after shoulder arthroplasty, which is typically a tedious manual process.
  • A total of 240 anteroposterior radiographs were annotated, creating a dataset that trained the DLM to achieve a mean deviation of only 1.9 mm when comparing DLM-identified landmarks to those identified by surgeons.
  • The DLM demonstrated promise in efficiently analyzing radiographs with minimal human error, suggesting it could significantly aid in the evaluation of shoulder surgeries while also improving the reliability of measurements related to glenohumeral relationships.

Although mixing and matching components is a common, safe, and well-documented practice in hip revision surgery, our extensive search indicates that it has not been previously reported for shoulder arthroplasty. This case report presents the use of mixed implants in shoulder revision surgery to reduce morbidity and address flaws in the initial implant design. We describe a case of a patient with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia who was treated for osteoarthritis in his left shoulder with an anatomic shoulder replacement in 2014.

Background: Clinically important improvement after total shoulder arthroplasty is often assessed with shoulder-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) quantifying reduction in pain and restoration in function. It is unclear if commonly utilized threshold such as minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), or patient acceptable symptom state (PASS), represent optimal improvement from the patients' perspective. The objectives of this study were to utilize the Simple Shoulder Test to: 1) compare commonly utilized thresholds for change in score and final score to thresholds optimized to patient satisfaction using receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and 2) determine the impact of using different thresholds on reporting of independent predictors of successful outcome in terms of patient satisfaction.
