Shoulder arthroplasty has been the subject of marked advances over the last few years. Modern implants provide a wide range of options, including resurfacing of the humeral head, anatomic hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse shoulder arthroplasty and trauma-specific implants for fractures and nonunions. Most humeral components achieve successful long-term fixation without bone...

We have previously described the short-term outcome of the use of reverse shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of acute complex proximal humeral fractures in the elderly. We now report the clinical and radiological outcome of 36 fractures at a mean of 6.6 years (1 to 16). Previously, at a mean follow-up of 6 years (1 to 12) the mean Constant score was 58.5; this was reduced to 53 points with ...

Reversed total shoulder arthroplasty is a popular treatment in rotator cuff arthropathy and in displaced proximal humeral fractures in elderly. In 2016, 29 models of commercially available designs express this popularity. This study describes all the different design parameters available on the market. Prosthetic differences are found for the baseplate, glenosphere, polyethylene, and humeral co...

Increase in the use of shoulder arthroplasty has resulted in the emergence of periprosthetic fractures of the humerus. The management of such fractures is technically demanding. We describe a case in which a displaced periprosthetic fracture at the tip of a stable humeral implant was successfully managed with the Dall-Miles plate and cables system.

Fractures of the first rib are uncommon in athletes and present a different clinical entity from traumatic first rib fracture associated with high energy thoracic trauma. These fractures are stress induced and precipitated by chronic muscular forces acting on the first rib. Typically they heal with conservative treatment. This report describes a fracture of the first rib in a tennis player that...

Shoulder arthroplasty is a surgical method used to relieve pain and restore functionality in cases of primary secondary degenerative joint diseases post-traumatic proximal humeral fractures [1].

BACKGROUND Surgical managements are recommended for unstable distal clavicle fractures because of a high incidence of nonunion. A variety of methods have been previously reported, but there is no current consensus regarding which method is the most suitable. METHODS Between December 2004 and August 2010, we treated 68 patients with Neer type IIB distal clavicle fractures using single coracocl...

The current case study deals with Comminuted Scapular Body Fracture after Seizure. Diagnosis of the epilepsy defined as two or more unprovoked seizures. prevalence is found to be .5 – 2%. People are at risk fractures either due fall, muscle contractions that lead for avulsion loss protective mechanism during Muscles contraction tonic phase seizures can result in variety musculoskeletal injuries...

Results of hemiarthroplasty for complex four-part proximal humerus fractures in the elderly have been unreliable. Although patients often achieve pain relief, return of above-shoulder level function can be challenging, because tuberosity nonunion, malunion, and/or resorption is quite common. The reverse shoulder replacement has been advocated as a reliable alternative for these patients. Prelim...

BACKGROUND Scapula fractures occur in approximately 1% of all fractures and constitute about 3% - 5% of all injuries of the shoulder joint. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 20 surgically treated patients with displaced glenoid fractures after stabilization with distal radius plate. METHODS Between 2012 and 2015, at 2 centers (HMCH & SHCE) of Bhubaneswar Odish...
