Introduction: Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is known to be effective in treating acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, deciding perform additional surgery the early postoperative period may challenging as there concern of adding morbidity clinical presentation often subtle. We mean assess impact DAIR on final functional outcome. Methods: A case-control comparison was performed between patients that underwent for suspected PJI 2010-2016 controls randomly...
Background: Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with a locking plate is popular surgical treatment for proximal humeral fractures (PHF). This study aimed to assess the occurrence of complications in elderly patients PHF treated surgically using ORIF investigate potential differences between by “shoulder surgeons” “non-shoulder surgeons.”Methods: A retrospective was conducted single-center database identify aged ≥70 years who underwent January 1, 2011, December 31, 2021. Data on Neer...
Abstract Background Isolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures typically occur in younger patients following high-energy trauma compared to humeral neck fractures. Surgical treatment is indicated when superior displacement > 5 mm. This study aimed assess the complications and long-term outcomes of surgically-treated GT Methods A retrospective review 39 who underwent surgery from 2010 2014 was conducted. The cohort comprised 54.6% females, with an average age 56.74 years a median follow-up...
Retrospective cohort study conducted at tertiary spinal trauma referral center.We aimed to determine if early definitive management of spine fractures in patients admitted the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) shortens intubation time and length stay (LOS), without increasing mortality.The medical records all ICU submitted surgical stabilization were reviewed over a 10-year period. Time surgery, number fractured vertebrae, degree neurological injury, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), ASA...
The optimal treatment of displaced proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in the older people population remains controversial. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a popular surgical option that provides improved and reproducible results. However, relevance fracture-specific stem designs for RSA to improve tuberosity consolidation function debatable.This study included all patients 70 years or with acute PHFs primarily treated at single institution Portugal, between January 2010 December 2019...
The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes a short stem reverse shoulder prosthesis with metaphyseal fixation specifically in older patients.
Modifications of the medialized design Grammont-type reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) using a bony increased offset (BIO-RSA) has shown better clinical results and fewer complications. The aim this study is to compare results, complications, radiological outcomes between patients undergoing standard RSA BIO-RSA.A retrospective review was performed 42 procedures (22 20 BIO-RSA). With minimum 1 year follow-up, range motion (ROM), Constant score (CSS), visual analog scale (VAS), subjective...
Case: We report a case of postoperative left-sided Horner syndrome (blepharoptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis) after revision surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy. A C4 corpectomy an anterior fusion from C3 to C5 were performed through left longitudinal approach in patient with surgical history discectomy C6. One year the surgery, had recovered anhidrosis but blepharoptosis was not fully resolved. Conclusion: resulting injury ipsilateral sympathetic chain is very rare complication spine...
Resumo Objetivo Comparar os resultados funcionais entre pacientes com fratura complexa do úmero proximal submetidos a artroplastia reversa tubérculos consolidados e não consolidados. O objetivo secundário foi determinar taxa de consolidação dos este tipo prótese. Métodos Estudo coorte, retrospectivo, coleta prospectiva dados. No total, 28 cumpriram critérios inclusão: idade superior 65 anos, prótese ombro por (3 ou 4 partes, segundo Neer), tempo seguimento mínimo 24 meses. Aos seis meses,...
Resumo Objetivo Historicamente, os resultados da artroplastia primeira articulação metatarsofalângica (1MTP) eram relativamente ruins; no entanto, melhorias na compreensão biomecânica normal do pé, nos materiais e design dos implantes, tornam a um tratamento aceitável em pacientes selecionados. O presente estudo pretendeu comparar clínicos radiográficos artrodese com 1MTP de hallux rigidus apresentar racional para seleção artroplastia. Métodos Um total 36 (38 pés) operados (12 artrodeses 26...
The implications of notching in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), and its relation with the rate complications are still unclear. Our main aim was to retrospectively study incidence three most used implants our practice, considering their different neck-shaft angle (NSA) determine implant failure, or other complications.
