Background: Arthroscopic repair of anterior dislocation the shoulder can fail. We hypothesized that patients who are at higher risk for redislocation following could be recognized preoperatively on basis their clinical history. The purpose present study was to identify factors recurrence in a community-based population with traumatic unidirectional instability treated single arthroscopic technique. Methods: From January 2000 December 2003, 625 were managed an Bankart technique, and 385 met...

Background There are not many reports in the literature about long-term outcomes terms of recurrence and degenerative changes after arthroscopic capsulolabral reconstruction for anterior shoulder instability. Purpose The aim this study was to evaluate follow-up (minimum 10 years) suture-anchor repair traumatic unidirectional instability, with special emphasis on radiological evidence arthritis clinical outcome. Study Design Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods Forty-two patients (43...

Total shoulder replacement is a successful procedure for degenerative or some inflammatory diseases of the shoulder. However, fixation glenoid seems to be main weakness with high rate loosening. The results using all-polyethylene components have been better than those metal-backed components. We describe our experience 35 consecutive total replacements new component mean follow-up 75.4 months (48 154). Our implant differs from others because its mechanism fixation. It has convex bone...

Complex proximal humeral fractures are very difficult to treat particularly in patients older than 65 years with an osteoporotic bone and tuberosities compromised. The goal of this paper is evaluate radiological outcomes at mid-term follow-up humerus treated reverse shoulder arthroplasty using a dedicated fracture stem.The study population included 98 who underwent stem for acute fracture; 87/98 were available analysis. There 62 female 25 male patients, the mean age was 76.2 time surgery...

Despite the high level achieved in field of shoulder surgery, a global consensus on rotator cuff tears management is lacking.This work divided into two main sessions: first, we set questions about hot topics involved tears, from etiopathogenesis to surgical treatment.In second, answered these by mentioning Evidence Based Medicine.The aim present provide easily accessible guidelines: they could be considered as recommendations for good clinical practice developed through process systematic...

Transtendinous repair is a well-known technique for the arthroscopic management of partial rotator cuff tear. However, there are not lot clinical follow-up studies in literature reporting data on this approach, and, moreover, potential factors responsible to influence outcomes have been investigated.To evaluate after transtendinous and identify predictive residual shoulder symptoms.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Fifty-four patients with mean age 56.7 +/- 8.8 years (range, 31-71 years) who...

There is ongoing debate regarding the optimal surgical treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCT). This study aimed to assess within Italian health care system cost-effectiveness subacromial spacer as a modality for patients with IRCT. An expected-value decision analysis was created comparing costs and outcomes undergoing arthroscopic implantation, repair (RCR), total shoulder arthroplasty, conservative IRCTs. A broad literature search provided input data extrapolate inform success...

Shoulder replacement (SR) constitutes the gold standard treatment for severe shoulder diseases, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, complex fractures, avascular necrosis and rotator cuff arthropathy. Although several countries have national registries, there is a lack of epidemiological data on SR. Sharing statistics correlating those to other could be helpful compare outcomes costs internationally. This paper aims evaluate trend hospitalizations SR (both first implants revisions...

Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a common procedure, yet long-term patient-centered outcome studies remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic RCR using single-row metallic anchor technique over 12-year follow-up, focusing on patient-reported and potential risk factors. Methods: A monocentric cohort was conducted patients who underwent complete with from January 2007 July 2011. total 628 completed three standardized questionnaires: Quick...

The aim of this study was to report long-term clinical outcomes a modern convertible metal-backed glenoid (MBG) in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). After minimum 15 years, previously studied cohort 35 patients who received MBG during the period 1996 2005 contacted for and radiological follow-up. At last follow-up, were evaluated radiologically clinically according Constant Score, Simple Shoulder Test, visual analogue scale pain. Complications revisions recorded, survival analysis...
