We aimed to analyse the clinical outcomes and survivorship of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty using a stemless humeral component with cemented pegged polyethylene glenoid performed with the technique of eccentric reaming to partially correct retroversion. These results were then compared with TSA using the same implant for end-stage shoulder arthritis with a normal version of the native glenoid. A retrospective case series was performed using a prospectively collected database of anatomic TSA patients operated at Woodend General Hospital, Aberdeen, UK. Between 2010 and 2019, 107 total shoulder arthroplasties (TSA) were done using standard anatomic stemless TSA implants (Affinis Short, Mathys Ltd, Bettlach, Switzerland) in 98 patients. Standardized preoperative and postoperative shoulder radiological imaging for glenoid retroversion was collected. Depending on the angle of native glenoid version, patients were divided into retroverted and non-retroverted glenoid as per the Walch Classification. To assess the radiological outcome at the final follow-up, radiolucency was assessed on the glenoid and humeral side using the Lazarus grading. The final clinical and radiologic outcome from the retroverted group was compared with the population with a non-retroverted glenoid. Five TSAs were excluded from the analysis as they did not have satisfactory postoperative radiographs. Hence, a total of 102 shoulders were available for analysis.Objective
Design and methods
Recurrent groin pain following periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a challenging problem. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the position and dynamics of the psoas tendon as a potential cause for recurrent groin pain following PAO. Patients with recurrent groin pain following PAO were identified from a single surgeon series. A total of 13 patients with 18 hips (4.7%) out of a 386 PAO, had recurrent groin pain. Muscle path of the psoas tendon was accurately represented using 3D models from CT data were created with Mimics software. A validated discrete element model using rigid body springs was used to predict psoas tendon movement during hip circumduction and walking.Abstract
Introduction
Methods
The extent to which hip arthroscopy (HA) treatments influence sexual function is not well described and limited to small cohorts. This study aims to describe trends in self-reported reported sexual function before and after HA. Adult (≥18 years) patients who underwent HA between 1/01/2012 and 31/10/2020 were extracted from the UK Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry. International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) questionnaires were collected pre-operatively and at 6 and 12 months. The iHOT-12 then asks asking patients to quantify ‘how much trouble they experience with sexual activity because of their hip?’ with responses converted to a continuous scale (0–100) to measure function.Abstract
Introduction
Methods
Excessive glenoid retroversion and posterior wear leads to technical challenges when performing anatomic shoulder replacement. Various techniques have been described to correct glenoid version, including eccentric reaming, bone graft, posterior augmentation and custom prosthesis. Clinical outcomes and survivorship of a Stemless humeral component with cemented pegged polyethylene glenoid with eccentric reaming to partially correct retroversion are presented. Between 2010– 2019, 115 Mathys Affinis Stemless Shoulder Replacements were performed. 50 patients with significant posterior wear and retroversion (Walch type B1, B2, B3 and C) were identified. Measurement of Pre-operative glenoid retroversion and Glenoid component version on a post op axillary view was performed by method as described by Matsen FA. Relative correction was correlated with clinical and radiological outcome.Abstract
Aim
Patients and Methods
The purpose of this study was to compare outcome of arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder using knotted and knotless anchors and two rehabilitation regimes. This is a retrospective study of 58 patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder stabilization over a five year period (2005–2009). There were two groups of patients. In group A stabilization was performed using absorbable anchors with a knotted technique using No.1 PDS suture. This group had an early mobilization regime. In group B a knotless anchor technique was used with PEEK anchors and nonabsorbable sutures. The patients in this group were immobilised in a sling for 6 weeks. There were a total of 58 patients, 37 in group A and 21 in group B. The mean age of patients undergoing the procedure was 35.7. There were a total of 23 males and 14 females in group A and 15 males and 6 females in group B. The number of dislocations prior to surgery ranged from 0 to multiple times a day. Patients had a mean follow up of 5 years (three to seven years - 2005 to 2009) and subjective shoulder function was evaluated using Oxford instability score and self-assessment questionnaire.Objective
