Aims. Manipulation under anaesthetic (MUA) is a recognised form of
treatment for patients with a frozen shoulder. However, not all
patients benefit. Some have persistent or recurrent symptoms. There
are no clear recommendations in the literature on the optimal management
of recurrent frozen shoulder after a MUA. We aimed to address this
issue in this study. Patients and Methods. We analysed a prospectively collected,
Frozen shoulder is a recognised complication
following simple arthroscopic shoulder procedures, but its exact incidence
has not been reported. Our aim was to analyse a
Some surgeons are reluctant to perform a reverse
total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) on both shoulders because of concerns
regarding difficulty with activities of daily living post-operatively
as a result of limited rotation of the shoulders. Nevertheless,
we hypothesised that outcomes and patient satisfaction following
bilateral RTSA would be comparable to those following unilateral
RTSA. A
A number of methods have been described to remove a well-fixed humeral implant as part of revision shoulder arthroplasty. These include the use of cortical windows and humeral osteotomies. The router bit extraction technique uses a high-speed router bit to disrupt the bone-implant interface. The implant is then struck in a retrograde fashion with a square-tip impactor and mallet. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and frequency of the different techniques needed for the removal of a well-fixed humeral stem in revision shoulder arthroplasty. Between 2010 and 2018, 288 revision shoulder arthroplasty procedures requiring removal of a well-fixed humeral component were carried out at a tertiary referral centre by a single surgeon. The patient demographics, indications for surgery, and method of extraction were collected.Aims
