Despite improvements in glenoid prosthesis design, materials and surgical techniques, complications related to the glenoid component continue to be a leading cause of failure after total shoulder arthroplasty. Although previously felt to be of little clinical significance, radiolucent lines around the glenoid prosthesis are now recognized as a sign of impending mid and long term fixation proble...

Abstract Aim To assess whether this change of practice had an effect on the infection rate in hip fracture surgery. Method An audit was conducted to re-operation patients over three months initial “lockdown” (23rd March 23rd May 2020) and compared 2 immediately before same period 2019. Cases were identified from Theatre ORACLE system (GE Healthcare). Anonymised patient data collected Electronic...

femur is malunions, nonunions, respiratory tract infection and bed sores etc. treatment modality like DHS is time tested but with availability of better hemiarthroplasty techniques and implant mortality and morbidity can be reduced. We aimed at evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of hemiarthroplasty over dynamic hip screw for management of IT fracture femur. Methods: 60 yrs and above pa...

conclusions the rate of mortality in the first postoperative year was high; however, functional outcomes were satisfactory. most of the patients could return to their previous activity levels. in the current study, we found no significant correlation between delay in surgery, and mortality at the first postoperative year and hhs. background femoral neck fractures (fnf) are a challenging orthope...

Proximal humeral fractures were managed with primary hemiarthroplasty in 57 patients, 53 women (93%) and 4 men (7%) aged 51-87 years (mean 72.2). The mean follow-up period was 52 months (range 12-98), and the mean Constant score was 59.2 (range 38-76). Patients were very satisfied (n = 19); satisfied (n = 32) or dissatisfied with the outcome (n = 5). One patient required early revision surgery....

Background: The purposes of this study were to determine the average time from hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) conversion reverse (RTSA) and factors leading RTSA.

Insufficiency fracture of the superior part of the acetabulum after hemiarthroplasty has not been reported before. Here we report a case of dislocation after hemiarthroplaty due to insufficiency fracture of the acetabulum. In our patient, insufficiency fracture of the ilium immediately above the acetabulum produced obvious evidence of compression and collapse that led to dislocation of the oute...

INTRODUCTION Fracture of the femoral stem following hip arthroplasty has become very rare since the developments in modern prosthetic designs. Prevention by identifying the risk factors is the best way to overcome these complex problems, as treatment is difficult. CASE REPORT Femoral component fracture after cemented hemiarthroplasty in a physically active 64-year-old, male patient is reporte...

Since Neer's early work in the 1950s shoulder arthroplasty has evolved as a treatment option for various glenohumeral joint disorders. Both hemiarthroplasty and total shoulder prostheses have associated problems. This has led to further work with regards to potential resurfacing, with the aim of accurately restoring native proximal humeral anatomy while preserving bone stock for later procedure...
