Background: We sought to characterize humeral-sided radiographic changes at a minimum of 2 years after reverseshoulder arthroplasty (RSA) to determine their association with specific implantation techniques.Methods: The immediate and most recent postoperative anteroposterior radiographs of 120 shoulders with primary RSAand a minimum of 2-years of radiographic follow-up were an...

OBJECTIVES Acro-osteolysis (bony resorption of the terminal digital tufts) is a well-recognized, but under-researched, manifestation of SSc. Our aim was to investigate the hypothesis that acro-osteolysis is associated with (i) the severity of digital ischaemia and (ii) the presence of calcinosis. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 101 patients with SSc in whom hand radiographs taken be...

conclusions gorham’s disease has several manifestations as primary bone involvement. as in this rare case the ulna may be affected first and then the disease may spread to adjacent bones. more studies are needed to better recognize the behavior of this rare disease. introduction gorham’s disease is a rare musculoskeletal disease which causes progressive osteolysis and is characterized by massiv...

Four cases of severe osteolysis of bones subsequent to camel bite are described. The first had osteolysis of the ribs with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Two cases had similar appearances of gross osteolysis of the shafts of the radius and ulna, whilst one had osteolysis of the humeral shaft. The similarities in the radiological appearances especially of the gross osteolysis at the site of tra...

AIMS One of the reason for Latarjet procedure failure may be coracoid graft osteolysis. In this study, we aimed to understand if a better compression between the coracoid process and the glenoid, using a mini-plate fixation during the Latarjet procedure, could reduce the amount of coracoid graft osteolysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A computed tomography scan analysis of 26 prospectively followed...

Acro-osteolysis is a bone resorption reaction that progresses slowly in the distal phalanx of hand and foot associated with various diseases. It can be classified as idiopathic or secondary. Although mechanism acro-osteolysis has not been fully elucidated, presence chronic ischemic injury appears to have significant effect, metabolism dysregulation due accompanying calcinosis peripheral neuropa...

The Gorham-Stout Syndrome (Gorham's massive osteolysis) is a rare condition in which spontaneous, progressive resorption of bone occurs. The aetiology is poorly understood. We report six cases of the condition and present evidence that osteolysis is due to an increased number of stimulated osteoclasts. This suggests that early potent antiresorptive therapy such as with calcitonin or bisphosphon...

Relevance to Musculoskeletal Conditions The identification of apoptosis in pseudomembranes (PMs) of aseptically loose Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) may offer specific target points for therapeutic modulation of osteolysis. The identification of a specific pathway leading to apoptosis contributes to our understanding of the mechanism leading to periprosthetic osteolysis and to a more rational str...
