The aim of this study is to report the implant survival and factors associated with revision of total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) using data from the Dutch national registry. All TEAs recorded in the Dutch national registry between 2014 and 2020 were included. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and a logistic regression model was used to assess the factors associated with revision.Aims
Methods
The present study aimed to investigate the long-term functional
results of scapulothoracic fusion using multifilament cables in
patients with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) to identify if
the early improvement from this intervention is maintained. We retrospectively investigated the long-term outcomes of 13
patients with FSHD (18 shoulders) in whom scapulothoracic fusion
using multifilament cables was performed between 2004 and 2007.
These patients have previously been reported at a mean of 35.5 months
(24 to 87). There were eight men and five women with a mean age
of 26 years. Their mean length of follow-up of our current study
was 128 months (94 to 185). To evaluate long-term functional results,
the range of shoulder flexion and abduction, Quick Disabilities
of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) scores were analyzed with
a comparison of preoperatively, interim and at the final outcomes. The
fusion was examined radiographically in all.Aims
Patients and Methods
We report our experience with glenohumeral arthrodesis
as a salvage procedure for epilepsy-related recurrent shoulder instability.
A total of six patients with epilepsy underwent shoulder fusion
for recurrent instability and were followed up for a mean of 39 months
(12 to 79). The mean age at the time of surgery was 31 years (22
to 38).
