Between 1976 and 2004, 38 revision arthroplasties (35 patients) were performed for aseptic loosening of the humeral component. The mean interval from primary arthroplasty to revision was 7.1 years (0.4 to 16.6). A total of 35 shoulders (32 patients) were available for review at a mean follow-up of seven years (2 to 19.3). Pre-operatively, 34 patients (97%) had moderate or severe pain; at final ...

Osteoporotic fractures are now a social problem for incidence and costs. Fractures of the proximal humerus events are frequent and constantly increasing. It is estimated that they are 20% of all osteoporotic fractures. Bone densitometry in most cases underestimates the real humeral bone density.There is little information about osteoporotic changes in the proximal humerus and their association ...

Certain arthropathies can distort the normal acromiohumeral relationship and make traditional anterolateral access to the proximal humerus for nailing difficult or impossible. This article presents a case of bilateral antegrade humeral nailing in which the Neviaser portal approach was used for humeral shaft fractures in a patient with distorted shoulder anatomy secondary to severe cuff tear art...

Humeral shaft fractures make up from 3 to 5 per cent of the general number fractures. There is a distinct bimodal age distribution patients with diaphyseal humeral Most cases are found among men aged 21-30 years and elderly women 60-80 years. Biomechanical peculiarities bone fragment displacement in an important component further planning patient’s treatment rehabilitation. The aim this article...

Introduction: Humerus shaft fractures in adults can be managed conservatively with functional braces or operatively with plate osteosynthesis or with intramedullary nailing. Conventionally humerus intramedullary nailing is done either using humerus interlocking nails or Enders nails. In this study we analyse the outcome of humerus shaft fractures (upper and middle third) managed with closed ant...

background femur fracture is one of the most common fractures in children. certain parameters such as the patient’s age, the exact location of fracture, type of fracture, the mechanism of fracture, and the accompanying injuries determine which one of the many treatment techniques be used in each case. objectives we aimed to compare the results of close and open techniques in pediatric femoral s...
