Background: Malposition of the acetabular component during total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a leading cause of complications and need for revision. Robotic-assisted THA purports to improve accuracy of component positioning with many reports demonstrating over 92% of components within 10° of inclination and anteversion compared to intraoperative system output. This study aimed to evaluate the intraoperative accuracy output of acetabular cup position values using a handheld miniaturized portable navigation system (Naviswiss, AG) compared to postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans.

Background: Identifying risk factors for acromial and scapular fractures improves our understanding about which variables are relevant to these fracture complications; however, these data are difficult to integrate into clinical practice because the majority of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) patients have ≥1 risk factor. The goal of this study was to better facilitate preoperative identification of patients at risk of acromial and scapular fractures and quantify the impact of accumulating risk factors on the incidence of fracture.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 9079 rTSA patients from a multicenter database of rTSA procedures performed with a single medialized glenoid-lateralized humerus onlay rTSA prosthesis to quantify the rate of acromial and scapular fractures.

Marshall, PhD, Professor, Department of Medicine, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, and Department of Community Health Sciences, University of Calgary, and Arthritis Research Canada, and McCaig Bone and Joint Health Institute, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Objective: We evaluated 4 national rheumatoid arthritis (RA) system-level performance measures (PM) in Alberta, Canada.

Methods: Incident and prevalent RA cases ≥ 16 years of age since 2002 were identified using a validated case definition applied in provincial administrative data. Performance was ascertained through analysis of health data between fiscal years 2012/13-2015/16.
