Introduction:

90 cases of reversed prosthesis have been evaluated and the aim of the retrospective multicenter study was to correlate the functional and radiological results depending on the type of implant.

Material & Methods:

90 patients have been operated (67 eccentric omarthrosis, 5 centered omarthrosis, 7 massive rotator cuff tear, 11 others), by 8 surgeons in 3 centers by a delto-pectoral approach (71%), and evaluated retrospectively by an independant surgeon. 3 types of prosthesis have been implanted: 1st generation of reversed prosthesis (Aequalis-Reversed, Tornier®: humeral neck angle of 155°), BioRSA (humeral neck angle of 155° but with lateralization of center of rotation, Tornier®), and a prosthesis with a more vertical angle of 145° (Humelock-Reversed, FX-Solutions®. A prospective study of the QuickDash score, Constant score and analysis of clinical and radiological complications by the surgeon and an independant surgeon at the time of longest follow up is reported.

Introduction:

Tuberosity healing is strongly correlated with functional results in all series of three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus treated by hemiarthroplasty. We formed a working group to improve position of the implant and fixation of the tuberosities on an implant specifically intended for traumatology.

Material and Methods:

An anatomic study on 11 cadavers and a prospective multicentre clinical study of 32 cases were performed to validate extrapolable original solutions at the patient scale: placement of the stem at a height indicated in relation to the insertion of the clavicular bundle of the pectoralis major, locking of the stem, placement (based on bone quality) of a variable volume metaphyseal frame (offset modular system® OMS®), avoiding medialisation of the tuberosities, and fixation of the tuberosities using strong looped sutures, brightly coloured so that they can be located more easily. Evaluation by Dash score and Constant score was correlated with positioning of the tuberosities using radiographs.
