A case of complete transection the leads a permanent pacemaker (PPM) by dislocated left shoulder prosthesis is reported. An 86 year old woman with history B-cell lymphoma diagnosed subsequent to pathological fracture humerus in 2010 was managed replacement. Subsequently, she underwent chemotherapy for and malignant lesion reported have resolved. In addition, further went on PPM- sided DDDR inse...

BACKGROUND Conventional treatments after complicated injuries of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) such as Darrach and Kapandji-Sauvé procedures have many drawbacks, which may eventually lead to a painful unstable distal ulna. The development of DRUJ prosthesis has significantly evolved over the past years. In this study, we assessed the outcome results of patients after DRUJ implant arthropla...

INTRODUCTION Indications for anatomic (aTSA) and reverse (rTSA) total shoulder arthroplasty are well defined and dependent on the function of the rotator cuff; however, indications for rTSA have gradually extended to complex fractures, revisions, and primary arthritis in very elderly patients. The risk of secondary rupture of a weakened or degenerative rotator cuff is difficult to assess and ca...

HYPOTHESIS Glenoid erosion and medial migration of the humeral head prosthesis have been observed after most types of shoulder arthroplasty. A method of measuring the change in humeral head position with time after shoulder prosthetic arthroplasty was applied it to 14 shoulders that underwent humeral hemiarthroplasty with concentric glenoid reaming. We hypothesized that the measurement techniqu...

Although the first shoulder arthroplasty was implanted in 1893 by the French surgeon JulesÉmile Péan, 1 the development of the procedure came in the 1950s when Neer 2 described the results using a vitallium prosthesis to treat comminuted fractures of the hea...

BACKGROUND Treatment for displaced proximal humeral fractures is still under debate. Few studies exist at the highest level of evidence. Although reversed total shoulder prosthesis has gained popularity and showed promising results in the treatment for proximal humeral fractures in the elderly patients, no randomized controlled trials exist to the authors' knowledge. METHODS/DESIGN This study...

BACKGROUND Reported outcomes of shoulder hemiarthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures have been poor due to tuberosity non-union or rotator cuff disruption. Newer designs provide features to allow secure tuberosity apposition and stabilisation. To evaluate the outcomes of a shoulder hemiarthroplasty system with "tuberosity friendly" features in the treatment of multi-fragmentary proximal hum...

Abstract Background Research studies on upper limb prosthesis function often rely the use of simulated myoelectric prostheses (attached to and operated by individuals with intact limbs), primarily increase participant sample size. However, it is not known if these devices elicit same movement strategies as (operated amputation). The objective this study was address question whether non-disabled...
