Intraoperative cardiac arrest during shoulder total arthroplasty

Failure of Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty with Revision to Another Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Background: While outcomes of primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) are generally favorable, resultsafter revision procedures are less reliable. This study examines the functional outcomes, complications, and implantsurvival in patients who underwent revision of aTSA to aTSA.Methods: Patients who underwent revision aTSA were identified from 2008-2015. Demographic, clinical, surgic...

Intraoperative Periprosthetic Fractures During Total Hip Arthroplasty

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

The Comprehensive® Shoulder Solutions’ Modular Hybrid Glenoid from Biomet is a revolutionary design for replacement of the glenoid in total shoulder arthroplasty. It provides three outer pegs and three central peg options for surgical implantation. In vitro testing of the Modular Hybrid Glenoid resulted in mean axial pull-out peak loads ranging from 209 to 303 lbf, mean inferior/superior shear ...

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

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...

Intraoperative cardiac arrest

Intraoperative cardiac arrest (IOCA) is a lethal complication of noncardiac surgery. According to several reports, immediate survival after IOCA is approximately 50%. In this study, a retrospective case analysis was performed to determine the incidence of IOCA, the potential causes of cardiac arrest, and the risk factors of no resuscitation in patients undergoing tumorous surgery.The medical re...
