Surface hip replacement (SHR) is generally used
in younger, active patients as an alternative conventional total
hip replacement in part because of the ability to preserve femoral
bone. This major benefit of
Fractures of the proximal humerus can lead to malalignment of the humeral head, necrosis and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. In such cases

Introduction: Glenohumeral arthritis with a massive rotator cuff tear is a devastating condition that seriously compromises the comfort and function of the shoulder. Cuff tear arthropathy presents a unique surgical challenge and many arthroplasty options were used for its treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of Copeland cementless
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the humeral head is an extremely disabling condition (Gerber et al, JSES 1998. 7(6):586–90). The results of stemmed arthroplasty for this condition are good, with Hattrup and Cofield reporting 79% subjective improvement at nine years (JSES 2000;9:177–82). This study reports the outcomes of

The classic Hill-Sachs lesion is a compression or impression fracture of the humeral head in occurrence with anterior glenohumeral instability. The true incidence is unknown but clearly increases with recurrent instability episodes. Recent peer-reviewed literature has highlighted the importance of addressing “significant” humeral and glenoid bone defects in the management of glenohumeral instability. Quantification of the “significance” of a Hill-Sachs lesion with regard to location, size, and depth in relation to the glenoid has helped guide indications for surgical management. Options for managing Hill-Sachs lesions include both humeral-sided techniques (soft tissue, bone, and/or prosthetic techniques) and also glenoid-sided techniques (bone transfers to increase glenoid width). The majority of significant acute or chronic Hill-Sachs lesions can be effectively managed without prosthetic replacement. Is a prosthetic
