Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in rotator cuff arthropathy patients, improves anteversion and abduction, but not rotational, outcomes. The main aim of this study is to determine its repercussions on daily life activities in our patients.Between 2009 and 2011 we implanted 210 shoulder arthroplasties, 126 of them were reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in a rotator cuff arthropathy context. About...
Rotator cuff repairs have shown a high level of re-ruptures. It is hypothesised that the use of rhBMP-2 in a carrier could improve the biomechanical and histological properties of the repair.Controlled experimental study conducted on 40 rats with section and repair of the supraspinatus tendon and randomisation to one of five groups: Group 1 (control) only suture; Group 2 (double control), suture and...
Distal humerus fractures in the elderly frequently associated with poor bone quality and comminution, making it harder to achieve proper osteosynthesis. Our aim is to evaluate the radiological and functional results of open reduction and internal fixation of these fractures.Retrospective study of 26 patients treated by open reduction and internal fixation between the years 2005 and 2010. Mean follow-up...
Persistent or recurrent glenohumeral instability after a previous operative stabilization can be a complex problem.Our aim is to establish the incidence of recurrence and its revision surgery, and to analyze the functional results of the revision instability surgery, as well as to determine surgical protocols to perform it.A retrospective analysis was conducted on 16 patients with recurrent instability...
A retrospective study was carried out of a series of grade I and II degenerative spondylolistheses subjected to a single-level fusion, comparing circumferential to posterolateral fusion.Our series comprises 33 patients (22 females and 11 males) operated between 1999 and 2002. In all cases a single-level fusion was performed through a posterior approach: a posterolateral fusion was conducted in 15...
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Spider™ plates in midcarpal arthrodesis.We studied 11 patients with advanced stage II and III degenerative process of the carpus treated by midcarpal arthrodesis with Spider™ plates. Mean followup was 15 months (7-25 months).A significant decrease in pain was seen in all cases. Postoperative flexion was 33° (12°-37°); extension 29° (12°-33°);...
