Background: Despite recommendations to do so, few orthopaedists wear leaded glasses when performing operative fluoroscopy. Radiation exposure the ocular lens causes cataracts, and regulatory limits for maximum annual occupational eye continue be revised downward. Methods: Using anthropomorphic patient surgeon phantoms, radiation dose at phantom's was measured with without during fluoroscopic acquisition of sixteen common pelvic hip views. The magnitude reduction from calculated by dividing...

Background: Our purposes were to analyze radiographic changes around humeral components and determine the influence of these on clinical outcome shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: Three hundred ninety-five shoulders with primary osteoarthritis treated a replacement analyzed clinically radiographically standardized protocol. Radiographs evaluated for osteolysis stress-shielding proximal part humerus loosening glenoid components. The arthroplasty configurations included (1) hemiarthroplasty...

The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and radiographic long-term outcomes patients treated with a third-generation cemented total shoulder replacement followed for at least ten years.The results thirty-nine arthroplasties were analyzed clinically use Constant score on radiographs in two projections, special regard glenoid component loosening, mean eleven years (range, fifteen years) postoperatively.The 27 points 11 54 points) preoperatively 61 21 86 postoperatively (p <...

There is little information about the long-term longitudinal outcomes of total shoulder arthroplasty. Moreover, data on a single replacement system are lacking. The aim this study was to analyze, at different time points during follow-up period fifteen twenty years, clinical and radiographic patients treated with third-generation arthroplasty.Sixty-three arthroplasties were performed in fifty-eight patients. Two lost follow-up, sixteen died period, leaving cohort forty-five forty mean age...

Background: Fracture sequelae of the proximal part humerus are challenging conditions, and various treatment options have been described. The purpose this multicenter study was to analyze clinical radiographic outcomes as well complications following semiconstrained reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for nonunion a surgical neck fracture humerus. Methods: Thirty-two patients with mean age sixty-eight years (range, forty-eight eighty-three years) managed humeral were analyzed clinically...

Our aim in this prospective study was to evaluate the outcome of total shoulder replacement treatment young and middle-aged active patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis. We reviewed 21 (21 shoulders) a mean age 55 years (37 60). The follow-up seven (5 9). same anatomical, third-generation, cemented implant had been used all patients. All were evaluated radiologically clinically using Constant Murley score. No required revision. In one tear supraspinatus tendon occurred. Overall,...

We have investigated the mid-term outcome of total shoulder replacement using a keeled cemented glenoid component and modern cementing technique with regard to causes failure loosening components. Between 1997 2003 we performed 96 replacements on 88 patients, 24 men 64 women mean age 69.7 years (31 82). The minimum follow-up was five at time review 87 shoulders (77 patients) were examined 89.1 months (60 127). Cumulative survival curves generated re-operations (accomplished planned),...

The treatment of fracture sequelae the proximal part humerus in combination with posttraumatic arthritis is challenging. reported results anatomic shoulder arthroplasty are disappointing. aim this multicenter study was to analyze clinical and radiographic reverse for malunion tuberosities.This a retrospective, 42 patients (42 shoulders) diagnosis malunions tuberosities who were treated between 2000 2010. mean age at time 68 years (range, 27 83 years; median, 70 years). dominant side 24...

Studies evaluating the return to sports and work after shoulder arthroplasty are rare, there no studies total (TSA).Patients undergoing TSA will be able their preoperative levels occupations.Case series; Level of evidence, 4.A 154 patients with 170 TSAs for primary glenohumeral arthritis were included. Two subgroups formed: who had participated in during 5 years before surgery (group 1; n = 105 [68%]) never 2; 49 [32%]). The return-to-work rate not retired also analyzed, as responses a...

Ziel: Die dreidimensionale Bewegungsanalyse ist an der unteren Extremität ein seit Jahren bewährtes Mittel zur Therapieplanung. In dieser Studie wurde das Bewegungsausmaß für Schulter und Ellenbogen bei 10 Alltagsbewegungen anhand 3D-Bewegungsanalyse untersucht. Somit können die Relevanz Ausmaß von Bewegungseinschränkungen besser beurteilt werden. Methode: Das verwendete biomechanische Modell oberen basierte auf 14 Infrarotlicht reflektierenden Markern. Es standardisiert 7 Probanden (Alter...

Promising medium-term results from total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) have been reported for the treatment of primary osteoarthritis in young and middle-aged patients. The aim this study was to evaluate long-term functional radiological outcome TSA patient. data all patients previous were available. At a mean follow-up 13 years (8 17), we reviewed 21 (12 men, nine women, shoulders) with age 55 (37 60). Constant-Murley score (CS) its subgroups subjective satisfaction measured. Radiological...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome using an anatomical short-stem shoulder prosthesis treat primary osteoarthritis glenohumeral joint.A total 66 patients (67 shoulders) with a mean age 76 years (63 92) were available for follow-up at two different timepoints (T1, 2.6 years, sd 0.5; T2, 5.3 0.7). Postoperative radiographs analyzed stem angle, cortical contact, filling ratio stem. Follow-up timing location bone adaptation (cortical narrowing,...
