Aims. Instability is a common cause of failure after total hip arthroplasty. A novel
Introduction. Initial fixation of noncemented implants is critical to achieve a stable bone/implant interface during the first few months after surgery to potentiate bone in-growth and avoid aseptic loosening. Numerous
Introduction. The use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is becoming increasingly common in the treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy. Standard RSA technique involves medialising the centre of rotation (COR) maximising the deltoid lever arm and compensating for rotator cuff deficiency. However reported complications include scapular notching, prosthetic loosening and loss of shoulder contour. As a result the use of Bony Increased Offset
Background. Locked anterior shoulders (LAS) with static instability and anterior glenoid bone loss are challenging in the elderly population.
Aims. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cost of
There is a large and growing population of patients with shoulder arthritis that are over 70 years old. Many of these patients live alone and sling immobilization after shoulder arthroplasty is problematic. Other than improved internal rotation, there are limited benefits of anatomic shoulder arthroplasty compared to
The treatment of proximal humerus fractures remains controversial. The literature is full of articles and commentary supporting one method over another. Options include open reduction and internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, and
Scapular notching is a common problem following
Severe glenoid bone loss in patients with osteoarthritis with intact rotator cuff is associated with posterior glenoid bone loss and posterior humeral subluxation. Management of severe glenoid bone loss during shoulder arthroplasty is controversial and technically challenging and options range from humeral hemiarthroplasty, anatomic shoulder replacement with glenoid bone grafting or augmented glenoid component implantation, to
The 2021 Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry report indicated that total shoulder replacement using both mid head (TMH) length humeral components and
In older patients (>75 years of age), with an intact rotator cuff, requiring a total shoulder replacement (TSR) there is, at present, uncertainty whether an anatomic TSR (aTSR) or a

INTRODUCTION. Shoulder joint prostheses have become the most commonly replaced after knee and hip artificial implants.
Background. Stemless prostheses are recognized to be an effective solution for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) while providing bone preservation and shortest operating time.
Aims. The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of different treatment options for glenoid loosening following
Introduction. In oblique olecranon fracture, fracture line begins in the trochlear notch and proceeds distally to the dorsal cortex of the ulna. We have experienced a nonunion of
