BACKGROUND B2 glenoid morphology is challenging to address with shoulder reconstruction. Deformity often renders current techniques inadequate, necessitating compromises that limit long-term implant durability. The purpose of this study was to perform in vivo measurements of glenoid deformity to better appreciate the orientation of the B2 biconcavity demarcation and erosion that surgeons face i...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 4-weeks rehabilitation, electrotherapy and kinesiotherapy programs on range of motion shoulder pain in men with idiopathic frozen shoulder. methods & materials: this was a semi experimental study on 18 patient (means±sd age 56.4±6.7 year, height 175.1±5.3 cm, weight 73.1±7.5 kg, history patient 9.2±5.1 month) who referred to...

Background and purpose - Increasing numbers of shoulder arthroplasty are performed internationally. The predictors of intraoperative complications when implanting primary shoulder replacements are unknown. We determined the incidence of intraoperative complications during primary shoulder arthroplasty using the National Joint Registry of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man (NJR...

HYPOTHESIS/BACKGROUND The indication to perform a shoulder arthroplasty is guided in part by a patient's intended level of activity after surgery. What level of activity should be safely recommended, and, presently, patient reported activity level is unknown. The purpose of this study was to define and compare the self-reported activities of patients following shoulder arthroplasty either total...

Shoulder replacement surgery is done for a variety of reasons. One of the most common indications is the reduction of pain in cases of advanced arthritis. In addition to the goal of pain reduction, most surgeons also try to achieve restoration of shoulder function and increase the patient’s quality of life. Increasingly, these activities are being broadened to not only include activities of dai...

BACKGROUND A variety of measurements can be used to assess radiographic osteoarthritic changes of the shoulder. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the radiographic humeral-sided Samilson and Prieto classification system and 3 different radiographic classifications describing the changes of the glenoid in the coronal plane. METHODS The study material included standardized radi...

The rotator cuff is often severely damaged in arthritis of the shoulder and there is no satisfactory technique for its repair. patients with a ruptured cuff and an eroded glenohumeral joint may have intractable pain, and standard methods of joint replacement are then inappropriate. A ball and socket prosthesis has been designed to replace the function of both the rotator cuff and the glenohumer...

Abstract Prior to shoulder replacement, the quality of cancellous bone stock humerus head should be evaluated. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has already been utilized assess thermal stability mineral, collected from femoral patients with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Our workgroup recently examined parameters rotator cuff undergoing reversed replacement. We hypothesized that TGA would ind...

Reverse shoulder prosthesis has become one of the most often used prosthetic implants in shoulder replacement surgery. It has a wide spectrum of indications, starting from comminuted humeral fractures and posttraumatic arthritis to arthritis caused by the rotator cuff loss. Its application at our hospital began in 2004, at first in few specific cases and with time in ever growing number of pati...

We investigated the experience of ten patients who received video-based physiotherapy at home for two months after a shoulder joint replacement. Videoconferencing took place via the patient's home broadband connection at a bandwidth of 256-768 kbit/s. Qualitative interviews were carried out, transcribed and analysed. Through qualitative content analysis six categories were identified: (1) a dif...
