ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Inverted-bearing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (IB-RSA) is characterized by a polyethylene glenosphere and a metallic humeral liner to minimize PE wear and debris secondary to impingement between the humerus and glenoid neck. IB-RSA long-term survivorship, complication and revision rates, as well as clinical and radiographic outcomes have not been reported yet. METHODS: This is a monocentric retrospective study on a consecutive series of 151 patients who underwent primary IB-RSA from January 2009 to September 2015 and were evaluated clinically and radiologically at minimum 8 years follow-up. All complications and reoperations were recorded. Survivorship analysis with any revision surgery as endpoint was done using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. RESULTS: Seventy-eight patients (follow-up rate 51.7%) were reviewed at a mean follow-up of 10.1 ± 1.9 years. At 10 years the revision-free survival was 98.7% (95% CI: 94.8-99.7). Sixteen complications (10.6%) were observed: 2 axillary nerve injuries, 2 infections, 2 glenoid loosenings (which stabilized within one year), 2 cases of otherwise unexplained painful stiffness, 4 acromial fractures, 1 post-traumatic scapular pillar fracture and 3 post-traumatic humeral periprosthetic fractures. Two patients were revised due to infection. No cases of late glenoid loosening and humeral loosening were observed. The revision rate was 1.3%. All the clinical scores and range of motion significantly improved at the last follow-up compared with preoperative status: final Constant score was 66.1 ± 17.4, SSV 79.1 ± 20.9, ASES 82.2 ± 17.7. Scapular notching was observed in 51.4% of patients: only 1 case of grade 3 notching was observed in an early glenoid subsidence case. CONCLUSIONS: Primary IB-RSA appears to be a safe and effective procedure and does not present specific implant-associated complications at long-term follow-up. Radiographic analysis showed that inverting the biomaterials leads to a distinct kind of notching with mainly mechanical features.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to evaluate at a mid-term follow up, the radiological survival of an uncemented humeral stem in shoulder arthroplasty. One hundred and twenty-six replacements including hemi (HA), total (TSA) and reverse (RSA) implanted from 1999 to 2008 were reviewed at a mean follow up of 7.2 years (48-144 months). The same uncemented triconical stem (SMR, Lima Corporate) was implanted. There were: 23 HSA, 43 TSA, 60 RSA. An independent observer evaluated all the patients with Constant Score. A radiologic analysis by an expert radiologist and an orthopaedic surgeon was performed: humeral component-bone interface was divided in seven zones. They judged a mobilisation if a migration or tilt of the humeral implant or if≥ 2 mm radiolucent line in at least three zones was present. Chi-squared test, Fisher test and analysis of variance were performed and a p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. No major radiological signs of loosening and no tilt or migration of the humeral component were found. Only 23 (18.2%) patients had no RL around the humeral implant. In the remaining 103 (81.7%) implants: 96 (76.1%) presented RL less than 2 mm, particularly 75 (59.5%) in less than 3 zones and 21 (16.6%) in more than 3 zones. Of the remaining 7 (5.5%) implants the presence of RL of 2 mm or greater in only one zone was seen. Apart from sepsis no revision was performed for humeral component loosening. Although a high rate of RL, uncemented humeral stem has an excellent survivorship at a mid-term follow up. Relationship between presence, position and depth of RL and internal stress shielding is commonly observed but does not appear to compromise quality of fixation or clinical outcomes in shoulder arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT

The nomenclature and the lack of consensus of clinical evaluation and imaging assessment in groin pain generate significant confusion in this field. The Groin Pain Syndrome Italian Consensus Conference has been organised in order to prepare a consensus document regarding taxonomy, clinical evaluation and imaging assessment for groin pain. A 1-day Consensus Conference was organised on 5 February 2016, in Milan (Italy). 41 Italian experts with different backgrounds participated in the discussion. A consensus document previously drafted was discussed, eventually modified, and finally approved by all members of the Consensus Conference. Unanimous consensus was reached concerning: (1) taxonomy (2) clinical evaluation and (3) imaging assessment. The synthesis of these 3 points is included in this paper. The Groin Pain Syndrome Italian Consensus Conference reached a consensus on three main points concerning the groin pain syndrome assessment, in an attempt to clarify this challenging medical problem.
