Abstract Background: The optimal treatment of displaced proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in the older people population remains controversial. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular surgical treatment option that provides improved and reproducible results. However, the relevance of fracture-specific stem designs for RSA to improve tuberosity consolidation and shoulder function remains debatable. Methods: This study […]

Abstract The treatment of rotator cuff tears (RCTs) has evolved. Nonsurgical treatment is adequate for many patients; however, for those for whom surgical treatment is indicated, rotator cuff repair provides reliable pain relief and good functional results. However, massive and irreparable RCTs are a significant challenge for both patients and surgeons. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) […]

Abstract Background: Modifications of the medialized design of Grammont-type reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) using a bony increased offset (BIO-RSA) has shown better clinical results and fewer complications. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical results, complications, and radiological outcomes between patients undergoing standard RSA and BIO-RSA. Methods: A retrospective review was performed […]

Abstract: Coracoid fractures (CF) are relativelyuncommon injuries and in most cases are associated with otherconcomitant lesions to the superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC).As far to the authors’ knowledge, there are no reports of an isolatedacute fracture of the base of the coracoid process, years after Latarjetprocedure. The authors present the case of a 51-year-old male […]

Abstract Background Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are the third most common fractures in elderly patients.The best treatment option on this population is still a topic of discussion. Reverseshoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has increased popularity as a viable treatment optionfor these fractures. Yet, few studies demonstrate the risk factors for mortality afterthis procedure.MethodsThe authors present a retrospective […]

Abstract Introduction: Chronic shoulder dislocations are infrequent and can be easilyoverlooked unless a carefully clinical history, physical examination,and radiographic evaluation are undertaken. Bilateral simultaneousinstability is almost pathognomonic for a convulsive disorder. To thebest of our knowledge, we describe the first case of asymmetricbilateral chronic dislocation. Case report: A 34-year-old male patient with a history of […]

Abstract Aim: This study aims to describe the shoulder arthroplasty options for young and active patients (<60 years old) with glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted by searching on Pubmed database. Studies that reported outcomes of patients with glenohumeral arthritis, younger than 60 years, that underwent shoulder arthroplasty [(Hemiarthroplasty (HA), […]
