Filter by:This observational study is conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the primary total shoulder arthroplasty with the Permedica's MIRAI Modular Shoulder Prosthesis System on the general population of patients who are about to undergo this surgery for every indication. Patients requiring a revision shoulder arthroplasty will not be enrolled. The effectiveness will be evaluated in terms of recovery of shoulder function and stability of the prosthetic implant. The incidence of complications, adverse and serious adverse events will also be studied. Additional study aim is to evaluate a medium/long term survival of the prosthesis. The duration of the study per single subject is 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of continuous interscalene block (CISB) using standard bupivacaine versus a single interscalene injection of liposomal bupivacaine (LB) on pain control following surgical fixation of proximal humerus fractures.
A commercially available product clinical study which aims to confirm the safety, performance and clinical benefits to the patient of the Affixus Natural Nail upper arm (humerus) bone nail system for both the implant itself and the instrumentation used during surgery.
This is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-controlled post market surveillance study. The objectives of this study are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the T.E.S.S.® Version 3 Anatomic and Reverse Modular Total shoulder prosthesis and its instrumentation.
The objectives of this study are to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Arthroplasty Systems and its instrumentation in primary or revision shoulder arthroplasty. These objectives will be assessed using standard scoring systems, radiographic evidence, and adverse event records. Safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency an incidence of adverse events.
Restricted range of shoulder motion following ORIF is a potential complication that severely affects the patients' functional outcome and should be actively avoided by means of adequate pain control in addition to early mobilization and physiotherapy. Peripheral nerve blocks, which can be given as a single injection or continuous infusion via an indwelling catheter, are analgesic options to be considered. Interscalene Block (ISB) is the regional analgesia of choice for the shoulder and proximal humerus region. While continuous infusion (aka continuous nerve block) offers the advantage of a longer duration of analgesia compared to a single injection of standard local anaesthetic, it is associated with an inherent risk of catheter displacement, dislodgement, obstruction, and infection. Compared to Standard Bupivacaine (SB), Liposomal Bupivacaine (LB) is a formulation designed to prolong the duration of action to up to 72 hours by slow release of bupivacaine from the multi-vesicular liposomes. Several studies have demonstrated satisfactory analgesic effects of liposomal bupivacaine given as local surgical site infiltration over placebo. However, the effects of single injection of liposomal bupivacaine given via local surgical site infiltration compared to continuous nerve block have been inconsistent. Administrating liposomal bupivacaine directly to peripheral nerve blocks is a potentially effective approach that has not been extensively studied. ISB with single shot liposomal bupivacaine has been shown to provide superior postoperative analgesia compared to ISB with injection of standard bupivacaine or placebo. ISB with liposomal bupivacaine could perhaps prolong and improve postoperative analgesia without the potential problems with continuous nerve blocks. The analgesic effect of ISB with single shot liposomal bupivacaine versus continuous ISB with standard bupivacaine has not been previously investigated. The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of these two analgesic modalities for plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures.
It was conducted a prospective study with a series of 63 patients treated with O.R.I.F. (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) (group A) and with RSA (Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty) (group B) for three and four-part proximal humeral fractures according to Neer classification system. One independent observer performed clinical and a psychological evaluation at one(T0), six(T1) and twelve months(T2) postoperatively. The Constant's score and The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH score) were used for clinical evaluation, while General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Caregiver Strain Scale (CSS) were used for psychological evaluation.
The management of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) remains a significant challenge in orthopaedics. The acute treatment options for PHFs are numerous and are typically guided by the fracture pattern and functional demands of the patients. The most commonly used methods include non-operative management with a sling or surgical fixation. Although non-surgical treatment is a reasonable treatment option for the majority of humerus fractures, there is an increasing interest in surgical intervention. There are no evidence-based treatment recommendations, thus permitting large local variation in treatment preferences. There are a number of studies in the literature about how outcome measures of the patients after PHFs management change, but these results generally compare functional results before and after treatment. Misra et al. stated that conservatively managed patients with PHFs have more pain and a poorer range of motion than those managed by either fixation or arthroplasty, while cochrane review stated that surgery is not superior to nonsurgical treatment in most proximal humerus fractures. Jayakumar et al. determined that kinesiophobia is one of the strongest predictors of functional limitation and recovery from a PHF is enhanced by overcoming fears of movement or reinjury within a week after injury. There is no clear knowledge regarding how the surgical or conservative management used in the management of PHF affects the early results of assessment parameters. The aim of this study was to compare early results of surgical fixation versus non-operative management outcomes in patients with proximal humerus fractures.
Degenerative diseases and traumatic injuries of the shoulder joint, lead to dysfunction of the arm. Arthroplasty has recently become an increasingly popular operation for severe damage to the shoulder joint. In clinical practice, the most effective operation today is the reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), after the installation of which the pain syndrome disappears in patients and a satisfactory range of motion in the shoulder joint resumes. With the increasing use of reverse shoulder arthroplasty and its expanding indications, surgeons today are facing tougher reconstructive challenges while still providing the patient with a good clinical outcome. The damaged joint presents a problem for the surgeon during component positioning. Implants must place the in a location and orientation that optimizes range of motion and stability while minimizing impingement. In order to address this, surgeons can look to the use of 3D imaging in order to better understand each patient's pathology. All patients are performed computed tomography scans (CT) of the shoulder joint. Then, were reconstructed 3D model. To determine the position of the components is mounted a scapular plane was created based on 3 points on the 3D reconstructed scapula: center of the glenoid fossa, most medial point on the spinal border of the scapula, and most distal point on the inferior angle of the scapula. The investigators use a scapular plane for to determine the optimal angles of inclination of the reverse baseplate. Then the position and direction of the pilot pin is determined. The position of the fixing screws and their length are also calculated. A resection line is planned for the humerus. Preoperative virtual templating can be used to translate the preoperative plan into the operating suite in the form of patient specific instrumentation (PSI) and intraoperative navigation. PSI to reference the local anatomy in order to place the guide pin in the desired location, version, and inclination based on the preoperative plan. After surgery, all patients undergo a CT scan of the shoulder joint. These data are compared with CT scan of patients operated on according to the standard method. The range of motion is also assessed and compared.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 3D-printed bone models in addition to CT imaging versus CT imaging alone on surgical quality and operation time for patients undergoing surgical repair of intra-articular fractures.
